To address the issue of mold in the Navy fleet, a new program has begun developing a biocidal mold-inhibiting coating alongside an industry partner for use in ship interior spaces. This coating is based on an already qualified MIL-PRF-24596 coating with the addition of mold-inhibiting additives.
A Resuflor™ topcoat system has been used to ensure a reliable and robust floor surface for the L-159E aircraft that are being used to conduct combat training.
