This compound is particularly suitable for use on military aircraft engine spark plugs and threaded fasteners and fittings at temperatures below 427°C (800°F). This compound contains molybdenum disulfide which at higher temperature conditions [538°C (1000°F) and above] may induce hot corrosion of fastener or contiguous materials. Accordingly, its use at higher temperatures will be avoided. AMS 2518 thread compound should be used in lieu of products directed by this specification in these high temperature applications for Air Force use. It should not be used in lieu of sealing compound, pipe joint and thread, lead free, general purpose, conforming to TT-S-1732.
