Changing paint schemes on military vehicles for rapid reaction deployment reportedly is quicker and more cost efficient using Intergard 10220, a peelable coating system developed by ANAC (Akzo Nobel Aerospace Coatings).

Changing paint schemes on military vehicles for rapid reaction deployment reportedly is quicker and more cost efficient using a peelable coating system developed by ANAC (Akzo Nobel Aerospace Coatings). Intergard 10220 is one of a family of specialty coating products tested and approved by the British Army for use on a range of military hardware, following extensive trials by the Army and the Ministry of Defense on a number of vehicles, including the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank.

Applied by conventional sprays, brush or roller, the coating is robust in operation but can be peeled off when necessary to suit the needs of different terrains, or to decontaminate the surface of the vehicle. The paint also can be modeled to change the infrared signature, thus helping to camouflage equipment in different spectra relevant to the environment to which it is being dispatched. Nonslip variants also are available, and further developments are planned with the UK’s MoD (Ministry of Defense).
