    1. Field Touchup/Repair of Powder Coatings 2003 Air Force Corrosion Program Conference March 10 14, 2003 Dr. Douglas Neale NCI Information Systems, Inc. Mr. David Ellicks Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office Robins AFB, Georgia

    2. Field Touchup/Repair of Powder Coatings Air Force Inventory Of OEM Powder Coated Equipment Continues to Increase Influence of success in commercial applications Performance Cost Environmental Compliance AF Depot Level Powder Coating Capabilities Are Emerging Hill AFB Robins AFB Tinker AFB Others

    3. Field Touchup/Repair of Powder Coatings Powder Coatings Encountered Thermosets polymer powders applied electrostatically and baked (250oF 450oF) Classes of powder chemistries for AF applications Epoxy very good physical/chemical performance for interior use (UV-sensitive) Polyesters very good physical/chemical performance for interior/exterior use TGIC Urethanes Selection based on performance requirements and application characteristics of the coating

    4. Field Touchup/Repair of Powder Coatings How to Repair When Flawed or Damaged? Requirements/expectations (depot and field) Repair process practicability Compatibility with existing powder coating Performance mechanical, chemical and corrosion resistance (durability) Appearance Production/depot sites Strip and re-coat entire part Touch-up (original process, aerosols, brush kits) Field sites Original process not practical Touch-up with available military/commercial materials
