MIL-DTL-24607B
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory).
6.1 Intended use. This specification covers high grade, air-drying enamels made from an alkyd resin and is
intended for use on primed interior surfaces. It is characterized by excellent color and gloss retention, good drying,
freedom from aftertack, and good flexibility. This enamel is a non-lead, non-chromate, and non-asbestos material.
The dried paint film has been tested to USEPA standards and the paint debris is, as of the time of this specification,
a non-hazardous waste. This enamel has been formulated to comply with air pollution regulations which allow a
maximum VOC of 250 grams of solvent minus water per liter of paint (2.08 lb/gal) as delivered. This product is not
to be thinned for all means of application. The enamel may be applied with brush, roller, or spray.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of this specification.
b.
Color (number of color to FED-STD-595 recommended) required (see 1.2).
c.
When first article is required (see 3.1).
d.
e.
Whether MSDS and ASTM F718 data sheets are required with each shipment (see 3.8 and 6.6).
6.3 Definitions.
6.3.1 Lot. For the purpose of inspection and test sampling, a lot is defined as all the paint (in U.S. gallons) of
the same type, class, grade, composition, and color from a single uniform batch, produced and offered for delivery at
one time. The addition of any substance that was not present in the table I formulas will be considered a new lot for
conformance testing.
6.4 Unit of procurement. The paint covered by this specification should be purchased by volume, the unit
being 1 liter or 1 U.S. liquid gallon at 60 °F (15.5 °C).
6.5 Volatile content. Although the container marking specifically refers to Federal regulations, the paint may
be used anywhere else a product complying with 1.2 is allowed. This includes other air pollution control districts or
similar areas controlling the emission of solvents into the atmosphere.
6.6 Material safety data sheet (MSDS). The MSDS should be provided in accordance with OSHA section
1910.1200, 29 CFR Chapter XVII, and FED-STD-313. OSHA section 1910.1200 requires reporting threshold
criteria for known or suspected human carcinogens on MSDS 0.1 percent or greater, and 1 percent or greater for
other health hazards. The MSDS should be included with each unit of issue of material covered by the specification,
when specified (see 6.2).
6.6.1 Material safety data sheets and ASTM F718. Contracting officers will identify those activities requiring
copies of completed material safety data sheets prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. The pertinent
Government mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in FED-STD-313. When specified, ASTM F718
data sheet should be included with each shipment of the material covered by this specification (see 6.2).
6.7 Toxicity. Questions pertinent to this requirement should be referred by contracting activity to the
qualifying activity. The qualifying activity will act as advisor to the contracting activity. The qualifying activity
will arrange for a Health Hazard Assessment by the appropriate departmental medical service (see 3.4).
6.8 Toxicological product formulations. The contractor should have the toxicological product formulations and
associated information available for review by the appropriate service medical department to evaluate the safety of
the material for the proposed use.
6.8.1 Disclosure. A manufacturer of material should disclose the formulation of his product to the Navy
Environmental Health Center, 620 John Paul Jones Circle, Suite 1100, Portsmouth, VA 23708-2103. The
disclosure of proprietary information, which will be held in confidence by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery,
