  2. Aerolon Project Involvement PROJECT TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVES • SP&C Panel Chair – Arcino “Q” Quiero NSRP PROJECT MANAGER • ATI - Frances Pearce INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT • Electric Boat – Mark Toscano • Tnemec Company – Andy Hoffman • Righter Group – Greg Pope NAVY INVOLVEMENT • NAVSEA 05 (tech warrant holder) – David Owen • NAVSEA 05 (coatings) – Mark Ingle/Howard Castle

  3. Project Scope The scope of this project is to develop a NAVSEA approved process qualification document and evaluate the use of Aerolon sprayable insulation for the replacement of polyamide foam Navy vessel hull insulation. • Task 1- Performance Test Plan • Task 2 - Fire Test Plan and Report • Task 3 - Submarine Atmosphere Control Manual (SACM) Certification Request Letter • Task 4 - HVAC Analysis

  4. Technical Discussion • Currently, the insulation installation process on ships is labor intensive. • To improve the application process, this project is evaluating aerogel filled insulative coatings (AIC) as an insulation alternative. • Aerolon AIC is water based spray applied coating, which makes it quicker to apply than taped on insulation panels. • To replace the current insulation system, Aerolon must be proved to be equivalent or better than the current process, and also suitable for the vessel environment. • Aerolon is a robust system with low thermal conductivity.

  5. Technical Discussion • This project focus is to replace vessel hull insulation. • Aerolon can also be used for other ship systems, as ventilation and pipe insulation. Aerolon also has potential use for applications on other Navy ship classes.

  6. Technical Status • Task 1 Performing the Qualification Test Procedure has been completed, the final report is being finalized. • Task 2 has been completed - SWRI was contracted to perform the qualifying IMO Part 2 and Part 5 fire testing. The final report has been submitted to NAVSEA for review. • Task 3 The Submarine Atmosphere Control Manual (SACM) Certification Request Letter has been submitted, results from NAVSEA not expected until June 2019. • Task 4 HVAC Analysis overview has been completed

  7. Project Status • Schedule • Project is completed. Final reports being reviewed by NAVSEA • Business Status • No issues regarding project funding or invoicing. • Issues • No issues encountered to date. • Near-Term Plans • Engage NAVSEA tech warrant holders for results review.
