TT-P-645C
6.1 Intended use. This paint is intended for use on interior bulkhead and shipboard surfaces. This product may be applied where air pollution regulations apply. This paint is a non-lead, non-chromate, non-asbestos material. The dried paint film has been tested to U. S. EPA standards and the paint debris is, as of the time of this specification, a non-hazardous waste. It may be applied by brush, spray, or roller and is suitable for any metal or wood structure. During development, this paint was easily sprayed with a Binks #7 HTES (high transfer efficiency special) gun. Spraying with a high volume, low pressure (HVLP) gun was successful using an AIRVERTER® HVLP Sprayer available from Smith Eastern Corporation. The basic formulation provides an paint of a green color. This paint 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 pounds/gallon) as delivered, and does not require thinning for brush or spray application.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Requirements for an HHA (see 3.2.1 and 4.7). c. Request for directions for use (see 3.4).
d. Packaging requirements (see 5.1 and 6.9).
e. Whether MSDS and ASTM F718 data sheets are required with each shipment (see 6.6).
6.3 NAVSEA approval and direction. Deviations from specified materials, procedures, and requirements and selection of specific alternative materials and procedures will be submitted to NAVSEA for evaluation and direction. Requests should include supporting documentation.
6.4 Inspection for first article. First article inspection is required for all manufacturing sources. The contracting officer should specify to offerors that the item shall be a first article sample from the first production batch (see 3.1) to be tested as specified in 4.2. The contracting officer should include specific instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article test results, and disposition of first articles. Invitations for bids should provide that the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement for samples for first article inspections to those bidders offering a product which has been previously tested by the Government, and that bidders offering such product, who wish to rely on such tests, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is presently appropriate for the pending contract. Bidders should not submit alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the solicitation.
6.5 Volatile content. Although the container marking specifically refers to the Federal Regulations, the paints may be used anywhere else a product complying with 3.2 is allowed. This includes other air pollution control districts or similar areas controlling the emission of solvents into the atmosphere.
6.6 Materials safety data sheets (MSDS). The contracting activity should be provided an MSDS at the time of contract award. The MSDS should be provided in accordance with OSHA section 29 CFR 1910.1200, Chapter XVII and found as part of 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 MSDSs prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. The pertinent Government mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in FED-STD-313. When specified, an ASTM F718 data sheet should be included with each shipment of the material covered by this specification (see 6.2).
6.7 Toxicity evaluation. The NMCPHC requires sufficient information to permit an HHA of the product. Upon completion of the HHA, a copy will be provided by the NMCPHC to the Government for evaluation.
6.7.1 Toxicological product formulations. The contractor should have the toxicological product formulations and associated information available for review by the NMCPHC to evaluate the safety of the material for the proposed use.
