 Ocean City Research Corp. has assisted the Headquarters, U.S. Army Materiel Command with the management of the JG-APP program by providing engineering, technical, and analytical services to the Army’s Joint Pollution Prevention Advisory Board (JPPAB) member.
The Joint Logistics Commanders chartered the JG-APP in 1994 to coordinate joint service pollution prevention activities.
In 1998, JG-APP was merged with the Joint Policy Coordinating Group on Depot Maintenance's Pollution Prevention efforts to create the Joint Group on Pollution Prevention (JG-PP).
The DOD/industry collaborative effort is focused on reducing overall program pollution prevention costs by reducing duplication of efforts and following the methodology illustrated below. Ocean City Research Corp. has played an integral role in the execution of each phase of this methodology.
On-going projects include validating alternatives to:
-
chromate primers for corrosion protection on aircraft exterior mold line skins;
-
cadmium for corrosion protection and threaded part lubricity;
-
tin-lead surface finishes on circuit cards;
-
VOCs in conformal coatings;
-
lead in dry film lubricants;
-
VOCs in primers and topcoats;
-
VOCs in identification markings; and
-
zinc chromate primers for galvanic corrosion protection.
