Ocean City Research Corp. assisted the U.S. Army Industrial Operations Command (IOC) Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) in the identification and qualification of environmentally friendly solvents for use in the repair of composite honeycomb helicopter panels. The project involved engineering review and analysis of the latest generation of precision-cleaning solvents, evaluation of shop processes and performance requirements, and extensive qualification testing in our Ocean City labs.

The results of the program have impacted CCAD repair operations and have also provided new cleaning options for critical cleaning applications in Army aviation.
