The compound covered by this specification can be used on metal surfaces not exceeding 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) as a transparent, temporary corrosion preventive coating. It is intended for use on non-moving parts not requiring a lubricated surface (such as fasteners, seams, access panels, points, unpainted metal, and where paint is cracked or damaged); however, it should not be used around liquid oxygen fittings. Type I and II compounds may be used to displace fresh or salt water from surfaces. Since Type IA and IIA compounds do not displace water, they should be used only after washing, rinsing, and drying the areas to be coated. This compound is military-unique since its corrosion resistance capability is much greater than that of an off-the-shelf commercial compound, in order to protect against the harsh environment typically encountered by military aircraft.
