MIL-DTL-53030D

Abstract

This specification covers the requirements for a water based, air-drying, corrosioninhibiting, epoxy type primer for pretreated ferrous and nonferrous metals. The primer is lead and chromate free and is compatible with chemical agent resistant aliphatic polyurethane topcoats. The primer contains no more than 2.8 pounds/gallon (lbs/gal) (340 grams/liter (g/l)) of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and is hazardous air pollutant-free (HAP-free), as applied.<b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> The primer described in this specification is lead and hexavalent chromium free and is intended for use on clean, chemically pretreated metal surfaces in camouflage systems and is compatible with Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) topcoats. It is a water based epoxy primer that is HAP-free with maximum VOC content of 2.8 lbs/gal (340 g/l) and is compatible with chemical agent resistant aliphatic polyurethane topcoats. The epoxy primer will provide enhanced corrosion performance of 1,000 hours salt spray and 40 cycles on the cyclic test. This epoxy primer should not be applied directly to wash primer conforming to DOD-P- 15328 or MIL-C-8514. This epoxy primer should not be used on aircraft or any associated components of the aircraft. The proper aircraft primers are either MIL-PRF-23377 or MIL-PRF-85582.<br>
