Abstract: The article discusses the Cost of Corrosion Study by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) which identified the organosiloxane nonskid decking coatings as one of the fleet's top five cost drivers. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) installs 3.7 million square feet of the nonskid coatings worth $56.6 million per year. It indicates that NRL aims to extend the service life of Navy nonskid systems and test the non-epoxy alternatives for extended-durability flight and deck performance.
