Report on Water Repellent Coatings: Tests of Water Repellent Materials for Coating the Interior of Submarine Main Battery Ventilation Ducts

Abstract

This report describes test to determine the relative suitability of several materials for coating the interiors of submarine main battery hard-rubber ventilation ducts to render them water-repellent. The materials tests were - Plain hard-rubber (control), Smooth-finish hard-rubber, Paraffin, Beeswax, S.D.O. These were tested by subjecting them to the section of sulfuric acid electrolyte spray blown onto the surfaces. The tests show the paraffin is the best of these materials.
