Description:
The overall goal of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of Convergent Spray TechnologyTM for the roofing industry. This was accomplished by producing an environmentally compliant coating utilizing recycled materials, a CSTTM spray process portable application cart, and a hand-held applicator with a CSTTM spray process nozzle. The project culminated with application of this coating to a nine hundred sixty square foot metal for NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama.
The project was executed in three phases. Phase one involved Independent Research and Development (IRAD) experimentation with materials, formulations, and CSTTM spray process. In phase two, the coatings were tested and the spray process was refined. Coatings were applied in two field demonstrations as part of the third phase. Funding for phases two and three was provided by Environmental Technology Initiative (ETI).
