4.7 Analysis of the coating.

4.7.1 Pigment analysis. Extract the pigment as in ASTM D2371, except use ethanol for the
extraction. Make appropriate qualitative and quantitative tests on the extracted pigment to
determine if only permissible pigments were used. Nonconformance to table I shall constitute
failure of this test.

4.7.1.1 Lead content. Determine the presence or absence of lead by weighing 50 mg of pigment
into a small glass test tube. Add 5 ml of dilute HNO 3 and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes. Decant
a one ml aliquot into a plastic micro-centrifuge tube and centrifuge for five (5) minutes at 17,000
rpm - balancing the centrifuge with a tube containing one ml. of the dilute HNO 3 solution. This

13
 MIL-PRF-22750G

tube shall also act as the test “blank”. Immerse a lead test strip into the supernatant from each tube.
Shake off the excess liquid and after approximately one minute compare the color change in the
reaction zone of the strips to the color scale (concentration levels) provided by the manufacturer. If
any color change is apparent from the “blank” strip rerun the test using fresh, lead-free reagents.
For the “Sample” strip, the appearance of a bright red color is indicative of lead at a concentration
level above the specification limit, while no color change or a faint pink color change is indicative
of lead concentrations below the specification limit. Confirmation of the exact lead concentration
in the coating’s solids shall be determined using any authoritative quantitative method, such as
ASTM D3335.

4.7.1.2 Hexavalent chromium. Determine the presence or absence of hexavalent chromium by

either of the following chemical reagent screening techniques.

(a) Weigh approximately 250 mg of pigment into a small glass test tube. Add 5 ml of 25
percent aqueous KOH and shake vigorously for 1 - 2 minutes. Decant a one ml aliquot into a
plastic micro-centrifuge tube and centrifuge for five (5) minutes at 17000 rpm, balancing the
centrifuge with a tube containing one ml of the KOH solution. The resulting supernatant liquid
shall be nearly colorless. Use the tube containing the KOH solution as a reference. A distinct
yellow color indicates the presence of hexavalent chromium and therefore shall constitute failure
of the test requirement.

(b) Weigh approximately 50 mg of pigment into a small glass test tube. Add 5ml of 10 percent
aqueous H 2 SO 4 and shake vigorously for 1 - 2 minutes. Decant a one ml aliquot into a plastic micro-
centrifuge tube and centrifuge for five (5) minutes at 17,000 rpm, balancing the centrifuge with a
second tube containing one ml of the H 2 SO 4 solution. The solution in the second tube shall act as the
test “blank”. Immerse a chromate ion (CrO 42 -) test strip into the supernatant from each tube. Shake
off the excess liquid and after approximately one minute compare the color change in the reaction
zone of the strips to the color scale (concentration levels) provided by the manufacturer. The
appearance of a purple/violet color from the “sample” strip is indicative of hexavalent chrome and
therefore shall constitute failure of the test requirement. If a color change is apparent from the
“blank” strip rerun the test using fresh, chromium-free reagents. The appearance of a pronounced
color change is indicative of hexavalent chrome and therefore shall constitute failure of the test
requirement.

4.7.1.3 Antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, cyanide, manganese, mercury,
nickel and selenium. Manufacturers need to review applicable environmental and safety regulations
and comply with material shipment requirements (see 6.2). The MSDS needs to include a notarized
statement that verifies that the composition of the material (coating formulation) is free of the
antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, cyanide, manganese, mercury, nickel,
selenium and their compounds.

4.7.2 Volatile content. The volatile content of the admixture (see 3.3.2) determined by EPA
method 311 and the VOC analysis (see 3.3.2.1 and 3.3.2.2) determined in accordance with ASTM

14
 MIL-PRF-22750G

D3960 shall comply with 3.3.2.1 or 3.3.2.2. Nonconformance to the VOC limit in 3.3.2.1 or 3.3.2.2
shall constitute failure of this test.

4.7.3 Solvent VOHAP determination. Hazardous solvent content of each individual coating shall
be determined in accordance with ASTM D3271 or EPA method 311, as applicable. Check for
compliance with 3.3.2.2.

4.7.4 Specular gloss (60 degree). Prepare a film of the coating on steel as specified in 4.7.14 and
allow to dry 168 hours. Determine the 60 degree specular gloss in accordance with ASTM D523.
Nonconformance to table I shall constitute failure of this test.

4.7.5 Hiding power (contrast ratio). Apply the mixed coating to a dry film thickness of 2 ± 0.2
mils (50 ± 5 microns) on a black and white hiding chart and determine the reflectance using the
daylight reflectance factor of ASTM D2805 over the black and white portion of the card and record
the values as R B /R W and check for compliance with table I.

4.7.6 Infrared reflectance. Determine the infrared reflectance on the black portion of the charts
used for hiding power (see 4.7.5). In all evaluations, use a spectrophotometer which is capable of
measuring the total (diffuse and specular) reflectance in accordance with ASTM E308 and ASTM
E1331. Nonconformance with table I shall constitute failure of this test.

4.7.7 Drying time. Spray the mixed coating on a test panel, as specified in 4.7.14, to a dry film
thickness of 2 ± 0.2 mils (50 ± 5 microns) and determine the drying under ambient conditions in
accordance with ASTM D5895. Check for compliance with table I.

4.7.8 Viscosity. Determine viscosity in accordance with ASTM D1200. Check for compliance
with table I.

4.7.9 Condition in container.

4.7.9.1 Component A. Upon opening a full previously unopened container, the condition of the
contents shall be examined for compliance with 3.5.1.1. Reseal, then agitate the container for three
(3) minutes on a paint shaker and examine for compliance with 3.5.1.1. On reexamination of the
contents, the disclosure of any gel bodies or undispersed pigment indicates unsatisfactory settling
properties.

4.7.9.2 Component B. Upon opening a full previously unopened container, the condition of the
contents shall be examined for compliance with 3.5.1.2.

4.7.10 Storage stability.

4.7.10.1 Component A. Allow a full quart can of component A to stand undisturbed for 1 year in
accordance with ASTM D1849 and then examine the contents. Evaluate the pigment settling as

15
 MIL-PRF-22750G

specified in 4.7.9.1, except agitate the can for 5 minutes on a paint shaker prior to reexamination.
Determine viscosity and other applicable tests for compliance with 3.5.2.1.
