Self-Etch Environmentally Acceptable Primer Testing (SEEAPT) Deliver Order 0001
Abstract
Self-etching and wash primers have the potential to reduce depot and field flow times and related wasted streams by combining several steps in the coating application process. These materials have been used with limited success. A project was initiated to ascertain the state-of-the-art with these materials. An initial screening was completed with 12 candidate self-etching and wash primers under current MIL-PRE-85285 topcoats. The focus of the testing was on primer properties. Filiform corrosion, salt fog exposure, pencil hardness, crosshatch adhesion, impact testing, and wet tape adhesion testing were conducted on the 12 candidate systems, along with 4 control systems. Six test primer systems performed reasonably compared to the control coating systems. They were down-selected for further testing in final phases of the program.
