A Trivalent Chromium Pretreatment (TCP) demonstration and validation program is currently being executed for Naval Aviation platforms. The aft section of two S-3 aircraft has been treated using a spray-on process at the Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP) at North Island, California. The coating system on these aircraft will be evaluated for corrosion performance and paint adhesion at regular intervals. The S-3s will be in service during their evaluation period. Trivalent Chromium Pretreatment demonstration and validation efforts are also underway for aircraft stationed at NADEP Cherry Point, North Carolina and NADEP Jacksonville, Florida. A thorough demonstration and validation of TCP will ensure an efficient transition to the fleet. Other opportunities are being solicited for demonstration and validation TCP throughout the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautical and Space Administration, and original equipment manufacturers.
