NRL's Center for Corrosion Science and Engineering began work on the ONR Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) 'Single Coat Program' in 2000. The goal was to reduce maintenance time and provide cost savings by introducing rapid-cure coatings technology to the fleet. Since program inception, NRL in conjunction with NAVSEA05M has successfully demonstrated the new rapid-cure coatings and advanced application process in more than 60 ship ballast tanks, comprising nearly 200,000 ft2. There have been no reported in-service failures, the program has demonstrated costs savings of 25-30%, and the Navy will benefit greatly from a new class of qualified coatings. In addition to working with commercial partners, the Marine Coatings Section patented a new resin system and has formulated a new series of solvent-free, rapidcure coatings designed specifically for shipboard use. These coatings, currently known as 'novel resins,' are cost-competitive with existing products and are of great interest commercially. They are scheduled for upcoming ship demonstration and final qualification.
