5 MAPSIL SILICo MAPSIL SILICo was developed to provide a Chromium free, corrosion protection for light aluminum alloys and to be covered by thermal control paints and antistatic paints One product achieves the performances needed depending on the thickness application: MAPSIL SILICo: For launcher use, applied in thick layer (> 10 µm) to provide a good corrosion resistance on aluminum alloys and steel For satellite use, applied in low thickness (2-6 µm) to provide electrical conductivity For replacement of Alodine 1200, applied in low thickness (2 µm) to provide electrical conductivity 9 Already qualified by CNES with white antistatic coatings: CNES reports (In progress with ESA) DCT/TV/TH/ (PU) DCT/TV/TH/ (Silicone) DCT /TV/TH/NT (PU) Conclusion Cr free anticorrosion primers and surface treatments : MAPSIL SILICo available for qualification MAP AQ PS expected for June 2012 Primer Application Use Substitution Formulation status MAP AERO P Launcher Anticorrosion MAPSIL SILICo high thickness MAP AERO WP Launcher Anticorrosion MAPSIL SILICo high thickness Qualification planned ESA / NASA PS PRIMER Satellite Adherence/ Anticorrosion Phosmap 11 Primer Satellite Adherence/ Anticorrosion MAP AQ PS In progress CNES MAPSIL SILICo low thickness Silane primers: PSX, E CNES 10 Pre- treatment Application Use Substitution Formulation status Alodine 1200 Launcher / Satellite Qualification planned Anticorrosion MAPSIL SILICo low thickness ESA/NASA ASTRIUM BR 127 Satellite Bonding MAP AQ PS In progress TAS 5
