6.3 MOISTURE AND FUNGUS RESISTANT VARNISH<br />

TREATMENT OF GROUND COMMUNICATIONS,<br />

ELECTRONIC, METEOROLOGICAL (C-E-M) AND<br />

ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.<br />

6.3.1 Retreatment Criteria. Equipment shall be examined<br />

and retreated if its condition can be classified under one of the<br />

following criteria:<br />

6.3.1.1 The equipment shows evidence of any type of deterioration<br />

whether previously treated or not.<br />

6.3.1.2 During the process of repair, the equipment has been<br />

subjected to abrasion by sanding or blasting of any nature.<br />

6.3.1.3 The presence of white powdery oxide deposits on<br />

aluminum alloy or cadmium-plated parts that interfere with<br />

proper operation of the equipment thus requiring some disassembly<br />

or overhaul.<br />

NOTE<br />

The presence of these deposits in itself will not constitute<br />

reason for disassembly or overhaul unless they<br />

specifically interfere with proper operation of the<br />

equipment.<br />

Open air, glove box, and walk-in booth operations<br />

will be evaluated by the safety officer and the bioenvironmental<br />

engineer to ensure personnel safety.<br />

• The use of sand, carborundum, aluminum oxide, or<br />

steel grit should be avoided since abrasive material<br />

of this type may enter moving parts and cause jamming<br />

or excessive wear. Any conductive types of<br />

these materials remaining in equipment may also<br />

impair its electrical operation.<br />

• When plastic media is used, use only MIL-P-<br />

85891, Type V as all other types are too hard and<br />

can damage the substrate.<br />

NOTE<br />

A-A-1722, Type II black walnut shells are available<br />

through <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> supply in a 50 lb. Bag under NSN<br />

5650-00-050-1094, and MIL-P-85891, Type V plastic<br />

media is available through <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> supply in a 250<br />

lb. bag under NSN 5650-01-327-8461.<br />

6.3.2.1 Varnish Treatment Removal. Remove old existing<br />

varnish by abrasive blasting with abrasive material such as<br />

ground black walnut shells conforming to A-A-1722, Type II<br />

or plastic media conforming to MIL-P-85891, Type V per procedures<br />

in Chapter 2 of <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-8 for process guidelines.<br />

MIL-DTL-81706 (ALODINE), COATING, CHEMICAL<br />

CONVERSION 23<br />

6.3.1.4 The presence of white powdery oxide deposits on<br />

aluminum alloy or cadmium-plated parts that do not interfere<br />

with proper operation of the equipment requires only brushing<br />

off accessible oxide deposits with a non-metallic (nonabrasive)<br />

stiff bristle brush and treatment of affected surfaces with<br />

MIL-DTL-81706 (MIL-DTL-5541), Class 1A, Form VI,<br />

Method D solution (Touch-N-Prep/TNP pen method) per Section<br />

II of Chapter 5 in <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691.<br />

6.3.2 Cleaning.<br />

MIL-P-85891, GRAIN, ABRASIVE 36<br />

Use of compressed air for cleaning can create airborne<br />

particles which may enter the eyes and cause<br />

serious injury. Effective chip guarding including eye<br />

protection is required.<br />

Excessive air pressures or a concentrated blast stream<br />

can damage insulation and delicate electronic parts.<br />

This will be avoided during the cleaning process. <strong>Air</strong><br />

pressure for cleaning shall be limited to a pressure of<br />

30 PSI at the nozzle. The nozzle diameter shall be 1/4<br />

inch minimum.<br />

6.3.2.2 Final Cleaning and Debris Removal. Remove all<br />

loose dirt, dust, abrasive debris, and any grease or oil as follows:<br />
