Patent ID: 8875479

Claim:
A method of filling a chemical agent resistant coating container and applicator comprising the steps of: pre-heating the chemical agent resistant coating container, as well as, steel sphere agitation units that will come in direct contact with a chemical agent resistant coating, to eliminate any residual moisture within the chemical agent resistant coating container and on the steel sphere agitation units; wherein the steel sphere agitation units include both large and small spheres; pre-reducing said chemical agent resistant coating with a reduction thinning agent to a final viscosity; wherein the final viscosity produces a consistency suitable for atomization mist by the applicator; agitating the pre-reduced chemical agent resistant coating on a paint shaker; transferring the pre-heated chemical agent resistant coating container, the pre-heated steel sphere agitation units, and the pre-reduced, agitated chemical agent resistant coating into a chamber; wherein the chamber is continuously purged and hermetically sealed with either nitrogen or a dry inert gas; inserting said pre-heated steel sphere agitation units into said pre-heated chemical agent resistant coating container within said chamber, such that each chemical agent resistance coating container contains three small spheres and one large sphere; filling said chemical agent resistant coating container with the pre-reduced chemical agent resistant coating; and purging the filled chemical agent resistant container with nitrogen or other inert gas, then immediately sealing said chemical agent resistant coating container and removing it from said chamber.
