Powder Coating Overview
  • Project Background
  • WR-ALC Powder Coating Project Description And
    Status
  • Components Coated
  • Old Process
  • Results of Powder Coating Implementation

3
Background
  • Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office
    (AFCPCO) Recognized The Value Of Powder Coatings
    For Select Applications.
  • AFCPCOs Early Involvement With Powder Coating
    Integration At Kelly AFB TX And Corpus Christie
    Army Depot (CCAD)
  • AFCPCO Taken The Engineering Lead To Assist The
    Transfer And Integration Of Powder Coating
    Technology In USAF

4
Background (Cont.)
  • HQ AFMC/LGP-EV Established The PCIWG To Utilize
    The Expertise Within The ALCs, AFRL, AFCPCO,
    Weapon System Offices, HQ AETC And Develop A
    Common Approach To Powder Coating Integration.
  • PCIWG Developed Standardized Test Protocols For
    Powder Coating Testing Within The Air Force.

5
WR-ALC Project
  • AFCPCO And HQ AFMC/LGP-EV Initiated A Project To
    Introduce Powder Coatings At WR-ALC.
  • WR-ALC/TIP Selected The Hydrostatic Test Shop,
    Building 150.
  • Workload Includes Overhaul Of
  • Life Raft Inflation, O2, CO2 and Nitrogen Bottles
  • Flightline And Building Fire Extinguishers

Components
7
Old Process
  • Walnut Shell Abrasive Coating Removal
  • Visual Insp. For Damage, Including Corrosion
  • Zinc Phosphate Pretreatment
  • Varied T.O. Directed Primers and Topcoats
    Including Zinc Chromate (TT-P-1757), Lacquer
    (MIL-L-7178), Enamel (TT-E-489) And Epoxy Primer
    (MIL-PRF-23377) And Polyurethane (MIL-PRF-85285)
  • Limited workspace, variable workload resulting in
    frequent backlogs

8
New Process
  • Same Coating Removal, Inspection, And
    Pretreatment Processes
  • Powder Coatings Selected to Replace Liquid
    Coatings and Primers
  • Lo-Temp Cure Epoxy Powder For Life Raft, O2, CO2,
    Nitrogen bottles, And Interior Fire Extinguishers
  • Lo-Temp Polyester TGIC For Flightline Halon
    Bottles
  • Lo-Temp Zinc-Rich Epoxy Corrosion Inhibiting
    Primer
  • Project Completed September 02

Process Improvement
  • Cleaner Operation
  • Eliminates Zinc Chromate Primer Coating
  • Eliminates Lacquer, Enamel And Polyurethane
    Primers And Topcoats
  • Significantly Reduces HAZMAT And HAZWASTE
  • Improved Workplace Environment
  • Painting Turnaround Time Reduced From Days To
    Hours
  • Elimination of Excessive Parts Backlog
  • Improved Coating Performance
