This specification establishes the requirements for flake or granular cetyl alcohol, solvents for dissolving the cetyl alcohol, preparation and application requirements for use of cetyl alcohol as an installation lubricant on mechanical fasteners, such as pins, bolts, nuts, washers, threaded or nonthreaded fastening devices, and inspection criteria for coated parts.

Classification

The lubricant shall be classified in two types with grades as specified herein (see 6.1). Type I is the traditional classification. Type III shall be used when environmentally necessary.

Type I - Petroleum Base Solvent

a. Grade A: 30 to 90 grams of cetyl alcohol per liter (0.25 to 0.75 pound per gallon) of solvent.

b. Grade B: 120 to 150 grams of cetyl alcohol per liter (1.00 to 1.25 pounds per gallon) of solvent.

c. Grade C: 270 to 300 grams of cetyl alcohol per liter (2.25 to 2.60 pounds per gallon) of solvent.

Type II - Not Used.

Type III - Water Base Solvent

a. Grade A: 10 to 30 grams (0.08 to 0.25 pound per gallon) cetyl alcohol per liter of deionized water.

b. Grade B: 30 to 60 grams (0.25 to 0.50 pound per gallon) cetyl alcohol per liter of deionized water.
