Ultraviolet (UV) Curable Coatings for Bullet Tip Identification

Abstract

The Sustainable Painting Operations for the Total Army (SPOTA) Program was initiated in anticipation of impending National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations such as the Defense Land Systems and Miscellaneous Equipment (DLSME). Although munitions coatings will likely be exempted from the DLSME NESHAP, environmental stewardship in this arena can be beneficial. Past Case Mouth Waterproofing (CMWP) efforts to reduce Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) resulted in higher reject rates in production. Combining bullet tip identification (ID) with the CMWP process can reduce handling and production time, thus reducing the risk of damage during processing while increasing throughput.
