MIL-PRF-81309

MIL-PRF-81309 is a military performance specification that outlines the requirements for corrosion preventive compounds (cpcs) designed to protect metallic surfaces from corrosion. These compounds are typically used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and marine, where the prevention of rust and corrosion is crucial. In military and aerospace applications, metal components are often exposed to harsh environments, such as moisture, salt spray, and industrial pollutants, which can lead to corrosion.

Key Characteristics

  • Ultra-thin film: The compounds form a very thin, protective layer on the metal surface.
  • Water-displacing: Capable of displacing water, preventing it from coming into contact with the metal and causing corrosion. They can effectively displace water from metal surfaces, reducing the risk of rust forming in moist environments.
  • Non-staining: They generally do not leave stains or discoloration on the protected surface.
  • Non-hardening: They do not harden or become brittle over time

Types and Classes

MIL-PRF-81309 is divided into various classes and types based on their characteristics and applications:

  • Type I: Water-displacing, soft film
  • Type II: Water-displacing, dry film
  • Type III: Corrosion-preventive with an additional characteristic (e.g., lubrication or electrical insulation)

  • Class I: Bulk container (brush, dip, or spray application)
  • Class II: Aerosol container or spray application
