Vietnam produces radar-absorbing paint

Institute of Chemistry - Materials (Military Science and Technology Institute) has researched and successfully developed radar-absorbing paint to be applied to warships, aircraft ...

Radar-absorbing paint is a special material used to paint the surface of military targets to protect targets against the detection and positioning of enemy radars.

Many nations have paid great attention to the production of new radar-absorbing paint by changing the adhesive system; conductive fillers, magnetic as well as structural parameters of the membrane ... Radar absorption paint is one of the important measures to camouflage, increasing the survival of the weapon equipment.

Vietnamese aircraft will be able to fight
Higher, if coated with paint absorbs radar.

Scientists at the Institute of Chemistry - Materials (Military Science and Technology Institute) have successfully developed the radar-absorbing paint with the symbol PD / RAP-MEH used to paint the weapons. Equipped with techniques to minimize the reflective profile of the weapon, improve the camouflage capabilities of the weapon equipped with the technology for reconnaissance, detection and control equipment using radar-based radar in the ice band. X (from 8 to 12GHz).

PD / RAP-MEH coatings are made from composite materials based on composite polypyrrole and barium ferrite.

The paint is black. Some main specifications of PD / RAP-MEH paint include: Viscosity: 65; Surface Dry: 2 hours, Dry Time 1: 8 hours; solid content 73.2%; hardness: 0.23; bending strength: 2mm.

Ability to absorb radar waves in the range of 8 to 12GHz (with a film thickness of 1mm) is greater than 94%. The life span of the mixture after mixing is from 2.5 to 3 hours.

Materials for PD / RAP-MEH radar absorption paint can be active in water, while fabrication technology is not too complex. In fact, paint can be applied in some areas with cheaper price than imported products, so successful production is very important and need to continue to expand.

So in the near future, our military fighters and warships will soon be able to apply radar-absorbing coatings to enhance combat capability as well as stealth with radar for .
