Repair and Restore Polymer Thermal Spray Coating and Application System Navy SBIR FY2010.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.2 Topic No.: N102-146 Topic Title: Repair and Restore Polymer Thermal Spray Coating and Application System Proposal No.: N102-146-1071 Firm: Resodyn Corporation 130 North Main Street Suite 600 Butte, Montana 59701 Contact: Scott Coguill Phone: (406) 497-5229 Web Site: www.resodyn.com Abstract: The Navy seeks an in-situ powder coating material and application method for spot repair. Resodyn Corporation proposes a unique restoration and repair polymer thermal spray coating (R&RPTS) system that provides the ease of repair, safety in handling, and effective coating protection to fulfill the Navy needs. The proposed system will be a zero VOC, non-toxic, non-chromated material with the potential for substantially lower zinc loading then is required by conventional anti-corrosion coatings. The coating and application system are not limited by repair area size or thickness of desired coating. The proposed material has an indefinite storage and working pot life with no cure time and temperature restrictions. The R&RPTS approach is not limited by arcing to a grounded substrate or Faraday cage effects, nor is there any coating degradation due to flame. Benefits: The proposed solution to spot repair on radar installations is a unique approach to corrosion protection with the added benefit of a high technical readiness level. The basic technology has already been developed and proof tested for thick (>1/4") coatings on CMU walls. The development of materials and applicators targeted for repair and restoration of above water Navy ship installations has a strong likelihood of success. The resulting polymer thermal spray system has numerous military and industrial applications where anti-corrosion efforts are important. Return
