USE OF TEFLON TO REDUCE CORROSIVE EFFECTS ON SHIPBOARD ANTENNAS.
Abstract
A coating material containing Teflon was used to repaint shipboard antennas undergoing maintenance or rehabilitation. The purpose of the project was to eliminate or reduce the corrosive effects of stack effluent, a major cause of the corrosion which results in antenna deterioration and failure. The corrosion problems connected with shipboard antenna maintenance are analyzed and illustrated. Current antenna procedures are described and their costs analyzed in terms of repeated antenna rehabilitation and reliability. The results of the project using the coating material containing Teflon are described and illustrated together with an analysis of relative cost and reliability. (Author)
