A SHEET OF ASBESTOS PAPER IS FLAME-SPRAYED WITH A CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL, SUCH AS ALUMINUM. THE CONDUCTIVE SURFACE IS COATED WITH A SYNTHETIC RESIN AND THEN THE COMPOSITE IS LAMINATED OVER THE STRUCTURE SURFACE. THE RESULTING SURFACE IS RESISTANT TO EROSIN BY RAIN AND DUST AND PROTECTS AGAINST LIGHTNING STRIKES AND STATIC ELECTRICITY BUILD-UP. THIS SYSTEM IS ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE FOR USE ON EXTERNAL AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE, LARGE STORAGE TANKS, ETC.
