The coatings covered by this specification are intended for use
on general (walking) deck areas (Types I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII,
VIII, IX, X composition G, and XI), the flight and hangar decks of
aircraft carriers (Types I, II, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX
compositions G and L) and on the landing decks of air-capable
amphibious aviation and aviation ships (Types I, II, III, V, VI,
VII, VIII, and IX composition G). Type I provides longer durability
than Type II, however the factor of increased weight should be
considered when using this system. Type V provides longer
durability than Type I, but attention is given to the significantly
shorter pot life. Type VI is a fast curing non-skid material for
use when application windows are limited. Type VII is a temporary
repair non-skid that is ready for service in 24 hours, however, it
may have a relatively short service life making it unsuitable for
normal non-skid installations. Type VIII is intended for
application at low temperatures, but it should not be considered a
fast cure product for application at normal or elevated conditions.
Type III non-skid systems are intended for use where flexibility or
thick smoothing capability is needed to correct drainage. Type III
is not intended to be used on aircraft carriers if the underlayment
is used due to compressibility of the materials under heavy
aircraft. Type IV can be used on walking surfaces, but is not
intended for aircraft landing decks. Type XI non-skid system is
approved for use in well deck catwalk areas, airlocks, boatswain
storerooms, elevator machinery rooms, boat gear repair station,
chain locker sump, damage control maintenance shop, deck gear
locker, drying rooms, machinery repair shops, mooring stations,
nixie winch room, officer of the deck stations,
replenishment-at-sea stations, rolling airframe missile handling
equipment rooms, sideport door machinery spaces, signal shelter,
stern gate machinery and operating gear rooms, and valve repair and
test shops. Although laboratory testing is done between 35 °F (2
°C) and 90 °F (32 °C), each individual coating of these non-skid
systems is applied in the fleet between 40 °F (4 °C) and 120 °F (49
°C).
