PPG has received a $1.5 million award from the federal government’s Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) to develop a chemical-agent-resistant coating (CARC) in powder form for use on military vehicles and support equipment.
This is PPG’s third contract with SERDP whose mission is to harness the latest science and technology to improve the DoD’s environmental performance, reduce costs, and enhance and sustain mission capabilities. Powder coatings are attractive to SERDP because they are safer to apply than many liquid alternatives, with no emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Plus, the ability to reuse overspray yields a nearly 100-percent utilization rate, so they generate little or no waste.
