New Test Requirement for Evaluating Temperature Resistance of Nonskid Coatings

摘要

1. Flight decks are coated with an epoxy/amine resin filled with aggregate to produce a nonskid surface a. MIL-PRF-24667 governs nonskid for the US Navy 2. During flight-ops, hot exhaust from various airframes impinges the flight-deck 3. This results in deck temperatures of several hundred degrees and localized deck deflections 4. There are currently no products qualified for high-temperature service (MIL-PRF-24667, Type IX) 5. Nonskid failures have been noted within exhaust impingement zones due to the combined thermo-mechanical loading.
