Ice-release coating for disconnect switches. Final report
This project has shown that certain commercially available coatings, when applied to key components of air disconnect switches, reduce switch operational torque requirements under ice conditions by one half or less. Application of coated switch parts in areas subject to icing conditions would decrea...

It will also be offered for commercial application for installation to new and existing switch installations. The coating also exhibited excellent heat dissipation properties and may be used to improve heat dissipation of switch blades and other components. The coating material is unaffected by sunlight; it is a two-component, Teflon-filled polyurethane that is available from two sources. The material is currently used for a variety of purposes, such as: aircraft wing and leading edge areas, hydrofoils, conveyor chutes and many others. Light gray in color, it is an excellent heat dissipator and matches the gray insulators used with most switches.
