Evaluation of Sealants and Cleaners for Marine Use

Abstract

In the fall of 1986, the Marine Division of the Logistics Support Directorate, Belvoir Research, Development and Engineering Center, formally requested the Center's Chemistry Research Division, Materials, Fuels, and Lubricants Directorate, to estimate the program cost of replacing sealants currently being used on the Lighter Air Cushion Vehicle, 30-ton payload (LACV- 30). After briefing the Directorate of Maintenance, US Army Troop Support Command (TROSCOM), St. Louis, MO, of the LACV-30's corrosion problems, the task of researching substitutes for those sealants and solvents presently in use commenced. This report contains the research to improve the corrosion resistance and maintainability of the LACV-30 and other equipment exposed to a marine environment. Keywords: Sealants, Cleaners, Solvents, Corrosion, Marine environment.
