CHAPTER 3

PAINTING, SEALING, CORROSION PREVENTIVE COMPOUND

APPLICATION

3.1 GENERAL.

Operators may need to wear respiratory protective equipment when spray painting, or the area may need proper exhaust ventilation. United States Air Force (USAF) organizations that apply protective coatings will request initial and annual surveys by the local Bioenvironmental Engineer and Safety Officer. Their recommendations for complying with Air Force Occupational Safety and Health Standards (AFOSH) will be followed. Contractor personnel will comply with all Bioenvironmental Engineer, Safety Officer guidelines and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards.

3.1.1 Coating Requirements. Comply with all cited coating requirements in Chapter 3, if a conflict exists, follow the manufacturer recommendation.

3.2 DEFINITION OF EXPOSURE.

Exposure is defined as support equipment (SE) that is subjected to combined direct action of climatic elements (to include the interior of such units). Climatic elements include temperature extremes, humidity extremes, rain, hail, snow, sleet, salt-laden air, industrial atmospheres, direct solar radiation, dust and seaming action of wind-blown sand.

3.3 REQUIREMENTS FOR PAINTING - FIELD LEVEL.

NOTE Flight Chiefs/Superintendents are authorized to make the determination if the unit requires complete repainting.

SE shall be repainted when painted surfaces have become bare or exposed because of paint deterioration or damage, or when it is determined that the equipment is inadequately protected from con-osion. Repainting of SE for purely cosmetic reasons is prohibited. SE units will be prioritized through the work flow on a "worst first" basis as determined by SE Scoring documentation. Refer to Table 3-2 for SE

I scoring guidance. All SE receiving a new paint finish willhave a contrasting color or black (color 37038) block of no less than 2 1/2 inches applied to the SE as close as practical I to ID plate by the activity that applied the paint. Stencils or decals may be used for the paint block. Figure 3-1 shows an example of a typical paint block.

3.3.1 Coating Requirements. Comply with all cited coating requirements in Chapter 3, if a conflict exists, follow the manufacturer recommendation.

3.3.1.1 Corrosion Control Scoring Program and Complete Repainting Criteria . SE requires a robust conosion program to ensure the longevity of the equipment. A system of scoring, prioritizing and scheduling will assist with preservation and refurbishment

3.3.1.1.1 Corrosion Scoring. The SE con-osion condition will be· scored annually during periodic scheduled maintenance inspection. This allows prioritization and scheduling with the appropriate con-osion control facility. The SE will be prioritized and scheduled on a "worse first" basis. The SE owning work .center will score and develop a tracking system to annotate the scores using categories 1-4 as described in Table 3-2.

3.3.1.1.2 SE will be evaluated to detem1ine an accurate conosion score. The minimum areas evaluated for deterioration and con-osion are:

Panels or component surfaces. Framew�rk, sub-frame, chassis, and axles. Panel or component edges. Welds and spot welded panel seams. Fasteners and latches. Attachment points. Deterioration involves: Chipped, peeled or blistered paint on panel sur-face. Visible co1Tosion (rust, pits, white powdery deposits or rust leaching from panel seams). Cracked coating around welds or fastener heads. Cracked, peeled or discolored paint at panel seams.

Change 10 3-1

Attachment 1 For Reference use only

Cracked or peeled coating at attachment points.

Coating deterioration caused by enviromnental agents, ultraviolet light, corrosive fluids as evi-denced by excessive fading or a chalky residue on panel surfaces.

Missing coatings over recent weld repairs.

3.3.1.2 Scoring Categories. In order to set the priority of

scored equipment, technicians evaluate the unit and place in one of four categories (Table 3-2) with category 1 being best, requiring no touch-up and category 4 as worst, requir-ing extensive disassembly, repair, and refurbishment. Lead-ership should utilize this tool to determine the priority for induction of "worst first" into the refurbishment workflow.

3.3.1.2.1 Complete Repaint Criteria. SE requires coin-

plete repainting when the coating system fails. A coating system is considered failed when over 75% of the total ex-terior surface displays obvious oxidation, bleaching, peeling, cracking, flaking, etc. When the coating system has failed it will be completely stripped and repainted by qualified per-sonnel in accordance with the standard paint system in Table 3-1. The corrosion control facility performing the SE repaint (ie, Fabrication Flight, contractors, depot, etc.) will validate the need for a complete repaint prior to accepting the SE into the corrosion flow.

3.3.2 Abrasive Blasting. The most effective means of

completely depainting and removing corrosion from SE is by mechanical means such as abrasive blasting using ap-proved abrasive blasting dry media, water blasting, or water blasting with abrasive grit injected into the water stream.

Plastic media blasting is effective in removing coatings and light surface corrosion from SE but will not effectively re-move heavy corrosion TO l -l -69i, Cleaning and Corrosion Prevention and Control Aerospace and Non-Aerospace Equipment, and TO 1- 1-8, Application and Removal of Or-ganic Coatings, Aerospace and Non-Aerospace Equipment, provides in depth guidance on abrasive blasting material se-lection- and processes. Refer to these TOs for the effective development and execution of all SE abrasive blasting cor-rosion and coating removal programs.

3.3.2.1 Several coating systems require the complete coat-

ing removal and surface preparation to include a white metal or near white metal surface condition with a minimum of a 2 mil surface profile. This requirement can only be achieved through abrasive grit blasting or high pressure water blast-ing. Several high-pressure water blasting systems will allow the injection of abrasive grit into the water stream to achieve the required surface profile. Consult the equipment manufaë-turer's data sheet for additional guidance. Ensure the coinbi-nation of abrasive grit and medium/high pressure water will not cause warping or other structural damage to SE and that this process is environmentally acceptable prior to the requi-sition of the abrasive blasting equipment.

3.3.2.1.1 Dry Media Abrasive Blasting for Iron and

Steel. For complete coating and corrosion removal and sur-face preparation to include white metal or near white metal surface condition of iron and steel substrates (other than stainless steel), 0.063 (16 gauge, US Standard) or thicker, use one of the approved products listed below:

For complete coating and corrosion removal and surface preparation to include white metal ornear white metal surface condition of aluminum, magnesium, stainless steel alloys and for iron and steel substrates less than 0.063, use abrasive blasting dry media qualified to MIL-PRF-9954 (reference Table A-l).

3.3.2,2 Medium Pressure Water Blasting. Medium pressure water blasting, with operating pressures less than 40,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) is also authorized for coating removal on SE. All requirements and safety consid-erations listed in abrasive blasting sections of TO 1-1-691 and TO 1-1-8 apply. Ensure the SE seams, and crevices are protected from water intrusion/entrapment to prevent subse-quent corrosion. Remove or protect from the high pressure water stream, all soft metal/non-metal components such as data plates, copper parts, hoses, etc.

3.3.2.3.3 Preparation and Priming of Plastic Compo-

nents/Panels. Plastic components/panels should be pre-pared and coated as follows:

NOTE

All contaminates must be removed prior to sanding to prevent embedment of contaminates into the plastic surfaces.

Water blasting of equipment that has been primed with a chromate containing primer may allow leaching of the chromate into the waste water. Organizations shall gain approval from the appropriate environmental management of-fice of primary responsibility prior to the com-mencement of water blasting activities.

3.3.2.2.2 Use the lowest effective water pressure when re-

moving paint or when abrasive media is used in combination with the medium pressure water to remove corrosion.

3.3.2,3 Scuff Sand and Overcoat. If disassembly and complete mechanical removal is impractical within the orga-nization, due to environmental constraints, the requirements of Table 3-1 for mechanical removal and application of the two layer metal-rich primer (MIL-PRF-32550)/intermediate primer (MIL-DTL.53030), on ferrous alloys waived and re-placed with MIL-DTL-53022, Type II Aluminum, fiberglass, and stainless steel equipment and parts will not be coated with metal-rich primers at any time.

e. Apply MlL-PRF-85285, Type IV, topcoat in accor-dance with TO 1-1-8.

3.3.3 Temporary Coating Repairs. For temporaiy repairs

of chipped paint and mild to moderate corrosion, use the appropriate corrosion preventive compound (CPC) listed in Paragraph 3.13. For severe corrosion that cannot be perma-nently repaired the use of rust converters is recommended.

For more pennanent repairs of small chipped areas, use au-thorized coating systems that are contained in items such as but not limited to: SEMPENS, Preval compressed air spray packs, Clip-Pacs, Brush and Roller, or AKZO Nobel Two -

Component MIL-PRF-85285 Aerosol can. Single component aerosols, enamels or laquers are not authorized coatings. In-formation, about these materials can be viewed on the AF-

CPCO website on the AF Portal Larger defects in paint or damaged areas will be grounds to repaint the complete sec-tion as determined by Flight Chief or Superintendent.

3.3.3.1 Rust Converters. Rust converters typically con-

sist of mixtures of phosphoric acid, organic alcohols, and tannates in a latex matrix that forms a protective film on the metal surface that protects against rust. They are designed to

Change 20 3-3 be applied directly to rusty surfaces to convert residual rust on steel surfaces to harmless and adherent chemical com-pounds. Unlike the standard scrape, prime, and paint regime, the surface does not require stripping to bare metal. Rust converters, topcoated with MIL-PRF-85285, serve as a 180-day temporary repair.

cant factor, and total repaint of the unit is within economic repair, then disassembly, abrasive blasting, proper conver-sion coating of the substrate metals and application of the preferred paint system described in Table 3-1 will be accom-plished. The lack of conversion coating capability or abra-sive blasting capability, by a contractor shall not grant au-thority to deviate from the requirements.

3.4.1 .3 When it is determined that corrosion is not a sig-nificant factor, or the units are not within economic repair limits, then paint touch-up will be accomplished. The paint material used in the touch-up should be the same material that is on the equipment unless otherwise specified. If the SE requires scuff sanding and overcoating and the prepared sur-face is not exposed to bare metal, the use of non-chrome tie coat in lieu of a primer is authorized.

3.4.2 Contractor Compliance. If contractor supported

corrosion prevention and control is utilized, compliance with the proper coating cleaning, surface preparation, preserva-tion, pretreatment, and painting requirements of this manual, TO 1-1-691, and TO 1-1-8 shall be included in the contrac-tors' Statement of Work.

3.5 AUTHORIZED COLORS, SEMPENS, AND MA-

TFRIAI S

3.5.1 SE Standardized Colors.

It is possible to have slight variances in color.

Equipment will not be repainted so as to have all equipment or components the same shade.

The Air Force has instituted a tone down program for SE.

The standard color for all flight line SE is SAE-AMS-STD-

595, gray no. 26173, MIL-PRF-85285 Type IV, topcoat. The color change shall be integrated into the units' regular corro-sion schedule and equipment will be aligned with the new scheme on an attrition basis. Newly manufactured, Commer-cial Off the Shelf (COTS), or refurbished equipment shall be painted gray no. 26173, in a MIL-PRF-85285, Type IV top-coat. Flight line support equipment being deployed to South-west Asia will no longer be required to be painted tan. Mo-bile communication equipment will maintain its current color scheme to meet mission needs/requirements. The authorized colors for mobile communications equipment are SAE-AMS-

STD-595, green color no. 24052/34052, light tan no. 33303, tan color no. 30279, and brown no, 20400, all MIL-PRF-

85285, Type IV topcoat. This guidance does not apply to

3.5.1.1 SE metalized with 85/15% zinc/aluminum will re-

main in the original gray color without a topcoat applied.

3.5.2 SE Standard Topcoat. High solids polyurethane

MIL-PRF-85285, Type IV is the required topcoat material for all SE.

3.5.2.1 Deleted

3.5.2.2 Table 3-1 identifies authorized coating materials

for SE. All SE receiving a new paint finish will have a con-trasting color or black (color no. 37038) block of no less than 2 1/2 inches, applied to the SE as close as practical to ID plate by the activity that applied the paint. Stencils or decals may be used for the paint block. Figure 3-1 shows an example of a typical paint block.

3.5,2.3 Air Force will accept Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) painted SE procured through US Army when it would increase the cost to change the coating to an epoxy/ polyurethane coating system (MIL-PRF-23377/MIL- PRF-85285). If CARC painted equipment needs to be painted, the units shall refinish and maintain equipment us-ing the appropriate coating system required for the assigned location/mission. This is to be accomplished only during the normal maintenance cycle.

3.5.3 Authorized Colors for Liquid Oxygen, Nitrogen, Storage Carts and Tanks. All liquid oxygen, liquid nitro-gen servicing carts and storage tanks shall be finished in color schemes as follows:

3.5.3.1 Liquid oxygen servicing carts used on flight line

shall have all of the control housing, interior and exterior, and cart frame shall be painted SAE-AMS-STD-595, gray color no. 26173.

3.5.3.2 Liquid nitrogen servicing carts used on flight line

shall have all of the control-housing, interior and exterior painted SAE-AMS-STD-595, gray color no. 26173.

3.5.3.3 All 50 to 400 gallon liquid oxygen tanks shall be

painted SAE-AMS-STD-595, green color no. 14187, in ac-cordance with MIL-STD-101C, AFMAN 91-203 and the equipment-specific TO.

3.5.3.4 All 50 to 400 gallon liquid nitrogen tanks shall be

painted SAE-AMS-STD-595, gray, No. 16187, in accordance with M1L-STD- 101 C, AFMAN 91-203 and the equipment-specific TO.

3.5.3.5 Only 2000 gallon or larger liquid oxygen and ni-

trogen tanks not used on the flight line shall be painted SAE-

AMS-STD-595, white color no. 17925.

3.6 CORROSION TREATMENT FOR STEEL

CABLES.

If the surface of a cable is corroded, relieve cable tension and 'carefully force the cable open by reverse twisting. Visu-ally inspect the interior. Corrosion on the interior strands constitutes failure and the cable must be replaced. If no in-ternal corrosion is detected, remove loose external rust and corrosion with a clean, dry, coarse-weave rag or fiber brush.

Clean the control cables with a clean dampened cloth with MIL-PRF-680, Type II or III, CID A-A-59601, or MIL-PRF-

32295, Type II. After thorough cleaning, apply a thin film of either MIL-L-87177, Type I or II, Grade B, or MIL-PRF-

16173, Class II, Grade 3 water displacing corrosion preven-tive compound (CPC) to the cable surface by aerosol spray or a cloth dampened with the CPC followed by a liberal application of MIL-PRF-16173, Class II, Grade 4 CPC with a non-metallic brush. Wipe off any excess CPC. If excessive CPC is allowed to build up, it will interfere with the opera-tion of cables at fairleads, pulleys, or grooved bell-crank ar-eas.

3.7 PIANO TYPE HINGES.

Water displacing, corrosion inhibiting CPC are often applied to hinge pins and nodes to provide lubrication and to reduce corrosion problems Unless otherwise directed by a specific
