Condition Assessment and Coating Recommendations for Aircraft Maintenance Hangars.

Abstract

The Users Guide presents a systematic approach to assessing the condition of aircraft maintenance hangar floors prior to specifying one of three coating systems: (1) Thin film coating system (16 mils: 1 mil = 0.001"), (2) Thick film coating system (250 mils), and (3) Overcoating sound coating systems. Coating specifications based upon the above coating systems are presented in the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center's (NFESC) Special Publication titled Hangar Floor Coating Specifications: Thin Film, Thick Film, and Overcoating Sound Coating Systems (SP-2057-SHR). By assessing the condition of hangar floor surfaces, coating failures resulting from the following practices should decrease: (1) Overcoating unsound coating systems, (2) Coating concrete with low surface strength, (3) Coating concrete with high levels of hydrocarbon contamination (oils, fuels, skydrol), and (4) Coating concrete with a high rate of moisture vapor emission.
