• P2 results in risk reduction through:– Incorporation into design

• Design for Environment

– Material Substitution– Recycling– Sharing Best Practices– Etc.

P2 OBJECTIVESP2 OBJECTIVES

• Specialty Coating Reformulation:– Reduction in Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK).

• Electrodag 501/502 are MEK-laden.

– Alternative: Lower-VOC Water-Based Specialty Coating.

REDUCTION IN TARGETED PT CHEMICALSREDUCTION IN TARGETED PT CHEMICALS

• Reduction in Class II ODCs.– Remove products containing HCFC-141b.– Focus: Mold-Release Agents– Old Miller-Stephenson Chemical Products:

• MS-143DF bulk liquid• MS-122DF aerosol• MS-122N/CO2 aerosol

REDUCTION IN TARGETED PT CHEMICALSREDUCTION IN TARGETED PT CHEMICALS

• New Miller-Stephenson Chemical Products:– MS-143XD bulk liquid– MS-122AD aerosol

• Testing included:• Ease with which urethane part releases from tool/coupon• Appearance of urethane part• Hardness testing of cured urethanes• Crosscut tape adhesion testing on painted urethanes• Shop-employee feedback

• Evaluation of non-chromated coatings has been on-going since the 1990s.– Primer successes on aircraft.

• Commercial products are not quite there yet, but are getting very close.

• Our testing is an effort to identify a a total non-chromated system (pretreatment and coatings).

LOW-VOC MOLD-RELEASELOW-VOC MOLD-RELEASE

• Test & evaluation conducted in concurrence with low-VOC wipe-solvent research.

– More specifics on following slides.

• Effort is to identify replacement for: – Henkel Frekote 44-NC (746 g/L VOC)– Henkel Frekote 700-NC (754 g/L VOC)

• Products Evaluated:– Henkel Frekote 900-WB / 901-WB (0 g/L VOC)– McGee Industries Inc. MAC-507 (0 g/L VOC)– Zyvax Inc. Water Works Departure (0 g/L VOC)– Henkel Frekote 710-LV (115 g/L)

• Frekote 710-LV To-Do List:– Test & Evaluate– Conduct Shop Trials– Procure in Presaturated Wipers– Change Specifications

LOW-VOC MOLD-RELEASELOW-VOC MOLD-RELEASE

• Previous Approach – Focus on toxics

• Current Approach – Focus on quantity (usage)– Where can we get the biggest “bang for

our buck”?• Answer: Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)

• Test & Evaluation - Focus on tool-cleaning operations. – Steel– Aluminum– Composite– Foam

• Approximately 30 cleaners/dilutions evaluated. • Test and Evaluation included:

– Visual evaluation– Number of wipes/strokes required to remove contamination– Water-break evaluation– Corrosion testing– Fluid-soak testing– Lay-ups

» Paint-adhesion testing» Lap-shear testing

• Two products have passed final qualification requirements:

1) Acetone » Exempt from VOC-categorization in the local

Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District.

2) Ecolink 1171» Solvent blend containing PCBTF, methyl acetate,

and d-limonene.

• Wipe-Solvent Replacement Challenges:– Institute Presaturated Wipers.– Change Specifications.– Meet Environmental and Health/Safety

Requirements.– Change culture.
