The U.S. Army uses numerous adhesives and sealants among other coating materials that contain significant amounts of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The U.S. Army has determined that it is much more cost effective to reduce or eliminate HAP emissions from coatings operations rather than using emissions control devices. This work examines laboratory and field demonstration/validation of one highly used sealant, Torque Seal. The adhesives and sealants thrust area of the Sustainable Painting Operations for the Total Army program has identified a HAP-free alternative to Torque Seal containing ethanol as the carrier solvent. Laboratory testing including adhesion, resistance to fluids, resistance to humidity, and drying time has validated that the HAP-free sealant performs very similarly to the baseline Torque Seal containing methanol (HAP). Furthermore, a demonstration/validation study at Fort Rucker, AL, using a UH-1 helicopter rotor shows that the HAP-free sealant has performed as well as the Torque Seal., The original document contains color images.

The Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of mandating the Defense Land Systems and Miscellaneous Equipment National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) that will affect Army surface coating operations. The Army uses numerous adhesives and sealants among other coating materials that contain significant amounts of HAPs. This work examines a laboratory and weapons platform demonstration of two of the most highly used adhesives/sealants throughout the Army. The adhesives and sealants thrust area of the SPOTA program has identified HAP-free alternatives to Torque Seal, an antitamper sealant. Laboratory testing has shown that HAP-free Torque Seal using ethanol as the lone solvent had similar solids content, viscosity, adhesion, fluid resistance, and weathering relative to the baseline product. Dry time is slightly longer, but not enough to raise any concerns with weapons platforms maintainers., See also ADM002187. Presented at the Army Science Conference (26th) held in Orlando, Florida on 1-4 December 2008. The original document contains color images

The specific problem of this report is to trace the growth of the State Board of Education in Kansas. The State Board of Education will be referred to hereafter as the State Board. This board has had its ups and downs but the Constitution of the state clearly placed the responsibility for the creation of a state system of public instruction upon the legislature. The legislature shall encourage the promotion of intellectual, moral, scientific and agricultural improvement, by establishing a uniform system of common 2 schools, and schools of a higher grade, embracing normal, preparatory, collegiate and university departments. Therefore the purpose of this research is to portray the reason for the creation of such a board and its activities from its beginning up until the present time.
