Evaluation of the Aircraft Ground Equipment (AGE) at Pacific Air Force (PACAF) Locations

Abstract

The United States Air Force (USAF) equipment and assets that are stationed in Pacific Air Force (PACAF) locations are exposed to highly corrosive environments resulting in damage of the equipment and adding costs for its upkeep. Battelle is working with Hentzen to modify their Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Low Temperature Powder Coating (LTPC) 6191-61003. The objective is to tailor the COTS LTPC formulation to include suitable ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers to improve weathering performance and add relevant biocides to mitigate Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC).
