AMCOM’
s
Corrosion Prevention and Control Program has been conducting a
demonstration/validation project for a lightweight, breathable protective cover for
aircraft and Patriot components.
The covers are an advanced commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) textile that has
high vapor transfer rates and shielding properties that provide environmental and
corrosion protection.
The covers were tested in SWA on aircraft windscreens and provided protection
against sandblasting, pitting and crazing.
Validation projects continue for the UH-60M Blackhawk, the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior,
Patriot missile canisters, Patriot Tactical Control Stations, and 25-kW generators.
B
ad or outdated information in a TM can be as dangerous in aviation shops as on a
battleFeld. So for the 13th time since 1986, the AMCOM Corrosion Program OfFce
is revising TM 55-1500-345-23,
Painting and Marking of Army Aircraft.
Like other technologies, coatings are changing and improving at a rapid pace.
Paints
and
primers
on
aircraft
provide
protection. ±laking and cracking paint can be as
harmful to your aircraft as ²aking and cracking
skin is to you. The new TM will help you get
maximum protection from the elements and
harmful substances.
The new TM will eliminate silica-based CARC
paint in favor of the new polymeric bead CARC
and Type II (low infrared re²ectance) primers.
The TM will discuss visual and physical criteria
for coatings, including damage and corrosion
limits and topcoat thickness parameters.
Modernized cleaning and surface preparation
techniques will improve paint adhesion and
durability.
Covers Add Aviation Protection!
