Corrosion preventive compound is intended for application to military
materiel, as illustrated in the following nonmandatory examples:
(Corresponds to P-4 of MIL-P-116). (Applied in the molten state by
dipping, brushing, swabbing, etc.):
(a) For unshielded outdoor storage of gun tubes, etc.
(b) For protection of small metal parts, either packaged or unpackaged.
(c) For long-term indoor storage protection of highly finished
surfaces, such as recoil mechanisms.
(Corresponds to P-4 of MIL-P-116). (Applied in the molten state by
dipping, brushing, swabbing, etc.):
(a) For unshielded outdoor storage of gun tubes, etc.
(b) For protection of small metal parts, either packaged or unpackaged.
(c) For long-term indoor storage protection of highly finished
surfaces, such as recoil mechanisms.
(d) For use in submarine ballast tanks.
(Corresponds to P-5 of MIL-P-116). (Applied in the molten state or
above ambient temperatures by dipping, brushing, swabbing, etc.):
(a) For unshielded outdoor storage of materiel in relatively moderate
climates, at temperatures not exceeding the flow point temperature of
the compound.
(b) For general packaging of automotive parts, etc., for storage under
conditions for which Class 3 compound is either too low in melting
point, or too soft in consistency.
(Corresponds to P-6 of MIL-P-116). (Applied either by brushing or
swabbing at room temperature, or by dipping in the molten state):
(a) For preservation of antifriction bearings.
(b) For use on machined surfaces for which a protective material that
is brushable and easily removable at room temperature is required.
