Improved Protective Coating for Sonar Domes.

Abstract

This report presents additional information on the NASL polyurethane coating system, designated as coating No. 22F, in references. Extensive screening tests, the results of which have been reported under references (b) and (c), have shown the coating system 22F to be exceptionally promising as an anti-corrosion coating for sonar dome application. The screening tests have included flexibility tests, several 23 hour exposures to the new high sonic pulse facility at NASL, and a 289 hour exposure at the USNUSL sonic facility at Dodge Pond. The new high pulse facility at NASL, consisting basically of an exposure of the coating to the output of a single SQS-26 transducer, will be described in a subsequent progress report.
