MIL PRF 23377K Primer Coatings - Epoxy and High Solids

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of MIL PRF 23377K standard. The MIL PRF 23377K standard covers requirements for anti-corrosion, chemical and solvent resistant, solvent-based, high solids epoxy primer coatings with a maximum volatile organic compound (VOC) content of 340 grams per liter (g/L) (2,8 pounds per gallon). .

MIL PRF 23377K Primer Coatings - Epoxy and High Solids

Primer coatings consist of the following types and classes as specified. Primer coating types are as follows:

  • Type I - Standard pigments
  • Type II - Low infrared reflective pigments

Primer coating classes are as follows:

  • Class C1 - Barium chromate based corrosion inhibitors
  • Class C2 - Strontium chromate based corrosion inhibitors
  • Class N - Non-chromate based corrosion inhibitors

Primer coatings within this specification must be purchased by volume, unit
It is a kit containing two or three components. Kit component dimensions do not have to be the same size. When using this part numbering system, the kit size will be identified.

This section does not include documents referenced in other parts of this specification or suggested as additional information or examples. While every effort has been made to ensure that this list is complete, users of documents are cautioned that they must meet all stated requirements of the documents specified in this specification, whether listed or not.

Primer coatings provided under this specification are free from contract award.
There will be products authorized by the qualification activity to first be listed in the current qualifying products list in the qualified products database (QPD). The material supplied under the contract will be the same as the qualified product, within the manufacturing tolerances.

The materials used in the manufacture of the primer coatings supplied in this context will be products that comply with the requirements of this specification. Primer coatings, when used in accordance with their intended use and in conjunction with the precautions listed, will not adversely affect the health of personnel.

Primer coatings will consist of two or three components as follows:

  • Component A - a base component consisting of epoxy resin and solvents.
  • Component B - a curing agent containing polyamide or amine resin and solvents.
  • Component C (optional) - thinning component, consisting predominantly of organic solvents.

Component B will act as the curing agent for component A. Components must be packaged separately and offered as a kit. Pigments may be included in component A or B. When the components are mixed in the proportions specified by the manufacturer, a primer coating is obtained that meets the requirements of this specification. Chlorinated solvents, except para-chlorotrifluoromethylbenzene or equivalent, will be prohibited in the formulation of these primer coatings. Incidental cadmium and cadmium compounds shall not exceed one part per million (ppm). The non-volatile portion shall not contain more than 0,05 percent by weight lead metal or lead compounds.

The materials covered by this specification are low VOC, anti-corrosion, chemical resistant and peelable primer coatings. These primers are used in military aircraft
Formulated for unique performance requirements. These requirements include adhesion to a wide variety of metals and composites, flexibility to withstand tactical maneuvers at low temperatures, corrosion resistance in the marine environment, resistance to leaking aircraft fluids, and low infrared reflectance for stealth in combat. Type I is for general use. Type II is for use where low infrared reflection is required. Unless a specific type or class is referenced in a contract or order, type I, class C2 is the default reference. Chromate-free (class N) primer coatings are for use where federal, state, or local regulations restrict the use of chromate-based materials. Class N primers may only be used when their use has been authorized by the engineering authority for the system or product to which the primer coats will be applied. MIL-PRF-23377F, class 2, for users of high solids coatings, use class C2 of this document. For users of MIL-PRF-23377G and MIL-PRF-23377H, class C, use class C2 of this document.

EUROLAB also provides MIL PRF 23377K testing services within the scope of other military testing services. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more effective, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.
