iMAST Quarterly, Number 1, 2002

Abstract

This quarterly report contains a feature article titled "Coatings Removal Research", Institute Notes, and a Calendar of Events. The feature article contains the following information relevant to environmental technologies: Department of Navy maintenance and repair facilities are in a seemingly unending search for new and better techniques and methodologies for the removal of coatings from vehicles, vessels, and aircraft. As environmental protection and occupational health regulations change, as coatings formulations are revised, and as manpower and funding levels fluctuate, old coatings removal processes become unsuitable or obsolete and new processes must be found. Three distinctly different coatings removal techniques?chemical paint stripping, induction heating and laser paint removal-have been studied under iMAST and REPTECH programs. Each of these techniques has its own unique set of advantages, disadvantages and possibilities, and each is another component of a toolbox of potential coatings removal techniques for Navy maintenance and repair personnel to consider.
