Akzonobel launches peelable coating.A new type of coating--Intergard 10220--originally developed for military use by AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings is likely to have a much wider impact on civil protection techniques and urban environmental projects in the future. Intergard 10220, now on the market, was developed as a temporary peelable peel·a·ble adj. 1. Having a peel or rind that can be peeled off: peelable fruits and vegetables. 2. That can be removed and used again: peelable address labels. camouflage camouflage (kăm`əfläzh), in warfare, the disguising of objects with artificial aids, especially for the purpose of making them blend into their surroundings or of deceiving the observer as to the location of strategic points. coating with chemical agent absorbent absorbent /ab·sor·bent/ (-sor´bent) 1. able to take in, or suck up and incorporate. 2. a tissue structure involved in absorption. 3. a substance that absorbs or promotes absorption. properties as a result of a three-year collaboration project between the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) at Porton Down Porton Down is a UK government and military science park. It is situated slightly North-East of Porton near Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. To the North-West lies the MoD Boscombe Down test range facility which is owned by QinetiQ. and AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings. "Just as the technical imperative created by the space industry saw the launch of many new technologies that have now become part of our everyday lives, so too is the need to create a durable and flexible camouflage for the military may well result in a host of new uses for the peelable coatings elsewhere," said Robert Walker Robert Walker may refer to:
The new coating meets the demand for asset protection from visual and heat seeking observation in specific environments. Further improvements to the coating's ability to absorb rather than just resist chemical agents are continuing through this joint venture. |
