Ources sought announcement for
durable elastomeric materials
the naval surface warfare center, panama city division (nswc pcd) is seeking information from potential sources for durable elastomeric materials to be used on the landing craft air cushion vehicle (lcac). Due to the harsh operating environment of this fully amphibious air cushion vehicle, employed systems utilize highly durable, erosion-resistant, elastomeric coatings. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to determine whether industry can provide improved commercial off-the-shelf (cots) solutions for elastomeric coatings for the following two applications.
Rubberized flexible fabric:
the lcac skirt system is composed of flexible, elastomer coated fabric. It experiences significant wear and abrasion, particularly during overland operation on concrete apron and ramps. This results in increased sustainment costs and time consuming maintenance. Nswc pcd seeks improved, innovative elastomeric compounds or additives to improve durability of the skirt system. Below are desired mechanical characteristics to consider when offering a solution.
Coated fabric objectives:
resistance to low temperature no cracking to -30f per astm d2136-66
resistance to flexural fatigue no cracking to 6 x 105 cycles per astm d430-73
resistance to uv radiation no surface hardening or cracking per astm d750
resistance to abrasion 8% loss per astm d5963
erosion coatings for rigid structures:
numerous lcac components and structures are exposed to high velocity flow containing abrasive elements such as water and sand. Surfaces of these components require durable erosion coatings to prolong component life and decrease operating costs. Nswc pcd seeks innovative materials and/or processes that can be applied to rigid structures to meet this urgent fleet need. Examples of surfaces that require protection include steel, aluminum, composites, and advanced polymers. Below are desired mechanical characte...
