ALUMINIZED CODING STUDY FOR RETROFITTING IN-SERVICE SLIDE MATERIALS

This report describes the work to develop a thermal-resistant reflective coating for the retrofit of in-service slides and slide/rafts. The report includes the experimental evaluation of commercially available reflective coatings and paints, ingredient-modification experiments, methods of application, physical properties tests, and retrofit cost estimate. The end product of this study resulted in a new aluminum polyurethane coating, BF Goodrich coating KE7620, suitable for retrofit purposes. (Author)
