The solid film lubricant covered by this specification is intended for use on aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper and copper alloys, steel and stainless steel, titanium, and chromium and nickel bearing surfaces (see appendix for application instructions). It is useful under the following conditions:

a. To touch up worn surfaces originally coated with lubricant conforming to MIL-L-8937 or MIL-L-46010.

b. For sliding motion applications such as plain and spherical bearings, flap tracks, hinges, threads, and cam surfaces.

c. Where conventional lubricants are difficult to apply or retain, or where other lubricants may be easily contaminated with dirt and dust.

d. For use within 12 months of the date of manufacture.

e. Where temperatures may range from -90 to 400 °F (-68 to 204 °C).

f. If mechanisms are operated at infrequent intervals or are lubricated for life.

g. Where long-term corrosion protection is required.

h. Where a solvent-resistant coating is required.

i. Where a lubricant requires extremely heavy load ability in initial start-up of heavy loaded mechanism designed for fluid lubrication.
