Abstract:

The silicone based paint formulation used on the booster section of the Atlas Missile has exhibited some undesirable characteristics, such as discoloration, peeling and blistering, during handling and cleaning procedures. A suitable replacement is being sought, and Convair-Fort Worth has developed several aluminized epoxy paint formulations for this purpose. Author
