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,
and X composition G), 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. Although laboratory testing is done between 2 °C
(35 °F) and 32 °C (90 °F), each individual coating of these
coating systems is applied in the fleet between 4 °C (40 °F) and 49
°C (120 °F).
