Objective:
This project will compare the Polysiloxane coating systems to current new construction specifications for cost effectiveness and durability during extended shipyard industrial environment exposure; and provide test data relative to the three major coating manufacturer’s coatings. It will also assist the NSRP community in adopting polysiloxane technology by facilitating information sharing sessions and compiling guidance documents as part of the project final report.
