Application Characteristics and Laboratory Testing of Protective Coating Systems for Carbon Steel Exposed to Simulated SRB Effluent

August 1986

By: Louis MacDowell

Abstract

This is an interim report on the Protective Coating System Program currently being conducted by the Materials Testing Branch to evaluate candidate systems for protection of carbon steel from both marine corrosion and attack by the solid rocket booster Al2O3/HCl slurry. This report contains the application data sheets for each of the 114 coating systems which were applied at the MTB paint shop. These sheets contain information about surface preparation, conditions in container, mixing conditions, application conditions and handling properties, coating thickness information, drying times, and comments on the overall application performance of each of the coatings included in the study. The report also contains the results of the laboratory adhesion and heat testing of the inorganic zinc-rich coating systems evaluated as part of the study.

For additional information, a complete copy of this study is available as NASA Report MTB 268-86A.  Send requests for copies to corrosion@ksc.nasa.gov.
