The barrier materials covered by this specification are intended
for use in specialized military methods of preservation. The combination of
all performance characteristics of MIL-PRF-22019; vapor inhibitor ability;
vapor inhibitor ability after exhaustion; transparency; storage stability;
long term protection; contact corrosivity; seam and fabrication strength;
compatibility with copper, blocking and puncture resistance; delamination;
water resistance of markings, provides the necessary requirements for
protection from exposure to the extremes of the navy/naval aviation
environment. Navy/naval aviation items are exposed to high moisture, high salt
concentration, transfer at sea, rough handling, and minimal storage
conditions. There are no commercial equivalents that meet the physical,
mechanical, and corrosion requirements necessary to protect materiel that is
exposed to the operational naval aviation environment. Specifically,
specialized Method of Preservation GS of MIL-STD-2073-1C used MIL-PRF-22019 as
the premier source of barrier materials that provides volatile corrosion
inhibitor protection for applicable items encountering the above conditions.
MIL-PRF-22019 provides the building blocks for applying specialized military
preservation techniques approved under MIL-STD-2073-1C.
