Low-VOC
Topcoats and Primers (LM)
Completed in 1999
The
Low-VOC Topcoats and Primers information exchange identified VOCs, such
as MEK,
MIBK,
toluene, and xylene as found in topcoat and primer formulations, as the
target HazMats
to be eliminated or reduced. The topcoats and primers addressed were applied
by brush or conventional wet-spray coating. Coatings addressed were CARCs
and non-CARCs that were applied to components for a broad spectrum of
applications such as electronics cabinets and cabinet parts; aluminum,
steel, and stainless steel sheet and parts; and nonmetallics, painted
metal surfaces, and elastomers. Available alternative technologies were
considered in a technology survey.
The main thrust of this information exchange was the development of the JTP. The JTP contains the critical technical and performance requirements for qualifying alternatives for affected programs at two Lockheed Martin sites in Orlando, Florida. The JTP was endorsed by the affected defense system program managers. As a result of the JG-PP CBA for the Lockheed Martin facilities, the JTP will not be executed in its current form nor testing initiated until specific depot needs have been assessed and current related projects underway are evaluated. Some recent JG-PP projects that are addressing specific needs, such as the Low/No VOC and Nonchromate Coating System for Support Equipment, leveraged the JTP developed under this information exchange.
