3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Qualification. The coatings furnished under this specification shall be products which are

authorized by the qualifying activity for listing on the applicable Qualified Products Database

(QPD) at the time set for opening of bids (see 4.2 and 6.3). Any change in the formulation or

processing of a qualified product shall necessitate its requalification. The material supplied under

the contract shall be identical, within manufacturing tolerance, to the product that received

qualification.

3.2 Materials. The materials used in the coating shall be as specified herein. Materials not

specified shall be selected by the contractor and shall be subject to all provisions of this

specification.

3.2.1 Toxic products and formulations. The material shall have no adverse effect on the health

of the personnel when used for its intended purpose. Questions pertinent to this effect shall be

referred by the contracting activity to the appropriate departmental medical service, which will

act as an advisor to the contracting agency.

3.2.2 Hazardous material. The contractor shall comply with the hazardous material requirements

of FED-STD-313 (see 6.4).

3.3 Color. When tested as specified in 4.5.4, the color of the primer shall be characteristic of the

iron oxide red pigment.

3.4 Composition.

3.4.1 Pigment. The pigment portion of the primer shall conform to the requirements of table I

when tested as specified in 4.5.5, 4.5.6, and 4.5.7. Lead or chromate (hexavalent) pigments shall

not be used. Compounds of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, cyanide,

lead, manganese, mercury, nickel and selenium shall be absent. Extender pigments shall be

siliceous matter and barium sulfate, in any ratio, and shall not exceed the amount specified in

table I. The use of the specified pigments does not guarantee that a product will meet all the

requirements of this specification, as the choice of vendors, amounts, methods of dispersion and

incorporation can significantly affect the quality of the end product. Other corrosion inhibiting

pigments, in addition to the specified zinc phosphate in table I can be used.
