4.5.4.3 Net contents. The net weight of the dispenser shall be determined by the difference
between the gross weight and the tare weight. Results shall be in conformance with 3.5.4.

4.5.5 Effect on plastics.

4.5.5.1 Equipment. The equipment used for this test shall be an ASTM D543 compliant
Constant Strain Loading Fixture (radius of curvature = 6.2 inches) (see 6.8).

4.5.5.2 Test coupons. The dimensions of the test coupons shall be 0.125 by 0.5 by 5.0
inches. The plastic materials for this test shall consist of:

a. MIL-PRF-5425 cast acrylic (annealed in accordance with ASTM F484)


b. MIL-PRF-25690 stretch acrylic
c. SAE AMS-P-83310 polycarbonate

4.5.5.3 Procedure. The specimens shall be secured in the loading fixture. The product shall
be applied onto the top surface of the plastic by spraying back and forth three times in ten seconds
from a distance of six inches. The test coupons shall be allowed to air dry for one hour and then
shall be examined for crazing and strength loss. Crazing is evident when a flashlight is used to
illuminate the specimen from a direction tangent to the specimen bend. Strength loss is evident if,
when removed from the fixture, it fails easily when bent by hand (using an unexposed specimen
as a control). Test results shall conform to 3.6.

4.5.6 Effect on elastomers. Four elastomeric specimens (butadiene nitrile rubber (NBR),
butadiene styrene (Buna S), butyl rubber, and ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM)) shall be used.
The product shall be sprayed on each specimen until the surface is completely wet. The specimens
shall be re-wetted after 4 and 8 hours and then be permitted to stand for a total of 24 hours. The
specimens shall then be examined for conformance to 3.7.

4.5.7 Cleaning efficiency.

4.5.7.1 Specimen preparation. Nine panels, 2 by 5 by 0.020 inch, cut from aluminum alloy
2024 conforming to SAE AMS-QQ-A-250/5 shall be solvent-wiped, weighed (W1), and soiled with
the following:

a. MIL-PRF-81309 (corrosion preventative)

MIL-PRF-29608C

4.5.7.3 Procedure. The cleaned test panels shall be weighed (weight = W1). The test soil
shall be applied using cotton tipped swab to the lower 2.5 inch of test panel and spread evenly to
within about 1/16 inch of edge. This procedure shall be repeated for the remaining test soils. The
weight of the soiled panels shall be recorded as W2. The test panels shall be placed (coated surface
facing up with the soiled area at the bottom) on a test rack, such that the test panel forms a 60-
degree angle with the horizontal. The rack shall be lined with a laboratory wiper to catch the
overspray. Using a 3.5-inch standoff, the traverse rate on the Gardco Washability & Wear Tester
shall be set at 3 inches/sec (setting =1.5). The aerosol can shall be positioned to spray from 3.5
inches away (panel to nozzle) so that spray hits panels at 90 degrees. The aerosol shall be sprayed
using three single passes only (not back and forth) on three successive cycles aiming at the top, then
middle, then bottom third of the soil. The aerosol shall be allowed to evaporate for 15 minutes, then
the reverse of the panel shall be wiped to remove displaced soil. The test panels shall be reweighed
and recorded as W3. Cleaning efficiency shall be determined as follows with the average results of
each soil reported:

% CE = (W2 - W3)/(W2 - W1) * 100

The average of three replicates for each soil shall be calculated (9 test panels). Results shall
conform to 3.8.
