The extreme high temperatures (400°F+), oxidized spent rocket fuel and environmental conditions of salt water were causing premature coating failure of the hatches. ENECON’s high temperature resistant repair and rebuilding composite, CeramAlloy HTP, was used to repair and rebuild the severely eroded areas of each hatc
