3. REQUIREMENTS

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

that are authorized by the qualifying activity for listing on the applicable qualified products list

in the qualified products database (QPD) before contract award (see 4.2 and 6.3). The material

supplied under contract shall be identical, within manufacturing tolerances, to the product

receiving qualification.

3.2 Material. Materials used in the manufacture of products supplied under this

specification shall produce products conforming to the requirements of this specification.

3.2.1 Toxicity. The primer coatings shall have no adverse effect on the health of personnel

when used for their intended purpose and with the precautions listed in 3.10, when evaluated in

accordance with 4.5.13 (see 6. 8).

3.3 Composition. The primer coating shall consist of two components, as follows:

Component A - a base component of epoxy resin solution

Component B - a curing agent

The components shall be packaged separately and furnished as a kit (see 1.3.1). When the

components are mixed in the proportions specified by the manufacturer and reduced with water

conforming to ASTM D1193, type IV, if required, a product meeting the requirements of this

specification shall result. Chlorinated solvents, except for para-chlorotrifluoromethylbenzene or

equal, shall be prohibited from the formulation of this primer coating. Incidental cadmium and

cadmium compounds shall be not greater than one part per million (ppm). The non-volatile

portion shall contain not more than 0.05 percent by weight of lead metal or lead compounds.

3.3.1 Pigment. The pigment of the primer coating shall be contained in component A

or B.

3.3.1.1 Class C1. Primer coatings containing barium chromate based corrosion inhibitors,

along with extenders and other pigments, as required, shall be identified as class C1.

3.3.1.2 Class C2. Primer coatings containing strontium chromate conforming to

ASTM D1649 as the corrosion inhibitor, along with extenders and other pigments, as

required, shall be identified as class C2.

3.3.1.3 Class N. Primer coatings containing non-chromium corrosion inhibitors, along with

extenders and other pigments, shall be identified as class N. Incidental hexavalent chromium

content of class N primers shall be not greater than 5 ppm (see 4.5).

3.3.2. Volatile organic compound (VOC) content. The volatile organic compound (VOC)

content of the admixed primer coating shall be not greater than 340 g/L (2.8 lb/gal) of coating,

excluding water (see 4.5.1).
