3、.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers pigmented, sprayable, lowvolatile organic compound (VOC) corrosion-inhibiting adhe-sive primers for use on aluminum alloys that are to beadhesively bonded in the fabrication of panels for tacticalshelters. When applied to a properly prepared surface ofaluminum
4、alloy, the primer imparts corrosion resistance andforms a surface suitable for structural bonding and for coatingwith shelter paint finishes.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provi
