VF-1.181SOLID FILM LUBEApply MIL-PRF-46010, Type I or Type III solid film lubricant in accordance with BAC5811.

Thin in accordance with D210-12534-1. Add 1 volume clean, dry, virgin (for example, unused) 100 mesh MIL-P-85891, Type II plastic media to 3 volumes of the mixed MIL-PRF-22750 epoxy. Stir mixture until uniform. Apply this mixture 0.005 to 0.020 inch dry film thickness. Cure in accordance with D210-12534-1. (VF-1.201)
VF-1.204WALKWAY COATApply A-A-59166, Type II (preferred replacement for cancelled MIL-D-23003) Deck Covering Compound (for example, walkway coating), Color 37038 black (unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or contract), with 30 to 60 mesh walnut shell aggregate, as follows: a. Prior Surface Preparation - Prepare surfaces to receive walkway coating as required by the Boeing Philadelphia Engineering Drawing. If no preparation instructions are given, prime surfaces in accordance with VF-1.71. Allow the primer to dry-to-topcoat before applying the walkway coating. b. Mixing A-A-59166, Type II Mix - Mix in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. (Note: If base material is a single component polyurethane, the addition of walnut shells to the compound will cause a significant reduction in usable pot life.) c. Application Suggestions: 1) A-A-59166, Type II may be applied by brushing or rolling onto designated areas of the aircraft. If multiple coats are required, allow adequate drying time between coats. Walkway coating dry film average thickness must be 10 to 50 mils (0.010 to 0.050 inch). 2) For spray application, A-A-59166, Type I should be sprayed onto the designated surface. While the painted surface is wet, evenly spread dry walnut shell grit over the wet surface with a suitable sieve. Apply an additional layer of paint to insure complete coverage and saturation of the walnut shell grit. Repeat as necessary as often to obtain required thickness. Multiple thin applications will result in a more effective coating than a single, heavy application. The suggested ratio is 12 oz. (350 ml) by volume of walnut shell to 1 quart (0.946 liters) of Type I walkway paint. The final average dry film thickness of the walkway coating must be 10 to 50 mils (0.010 to 0.050 inch). d. Cure - Depending on applied thickness, the walkway coating should be firm for foot traffic within 3 to 5 days when cured at temperatures above 70 F (or longer at lower temperatures). e. Adhesion testing of the Walnut Shell Grit in the cured walkway coating must be performed on each assembly. Testing must be performed as follows: 1) Select a test site in an inconspicuous area. 2) A standard wooden “Medical-type” tongue depressor (approximately 6 inches (152 mm) L x 0.75 inch (19 mm) W x 0.0626 inch (1.58 mm) thick) with rounded ends must be held against the cured painted surface at an approximate 45 degree angle. 3) With moderate finger pressure applied to the center point (approximately 3 inches from rounded ends) of the wooden depressor, scrape the tip (the rounded end) against the walkway coating in a forward-and-backward motion for a total of 10 complete cycles. Use a constant uninterrupted motion when scraping for a distance of approximately 1 to 2 inches in length. 4) A new tongue depressor must be used for each new test location. 5) Visually examine the test site without magnification. Pass/Fail criteria is as follows: • Incidental removal of walkway grit is expected and not grounds for rejection. • The coating “Passes” if grit is not easily removed and not exposing primer and/or substrate. • The coating “Fails” if primer or substrate is exposed and if grit can be easily removed. 6) For coatings that do not meet this requirement, Boeing Philadelphia Engineering must be notified to provide corrective action. f. Rework of Defective Coatings - Areas that fail Grit Adhesion test must be reworked as follows: 1) Abrade area with a wire (stainless or brass) brush to remove loose grit. Do not try to remove all walkway coating, only non-adherent material. 2) Vacuum to remove all loose dust and particle. 3) Inspect area for exposed bare aluminum. 4) If necessary, apply chromate treatment (Alodine) in accordance with VF-3.0 and spot prime as necessary. 5) Re-apply A-A-59166 walkway coating in accordance with VF 1.204. 6) When coating is cured, re-inspect finished product for walkway grit adhesion.
