6、ight 2001, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Materials Required Cloth Shall be suitable for wiping rust preventive from a painted panel. Test Panel Refer to FLTM BI 103-02, Method B,2 or as specified in the applicable material specification. The panel(s) shall be freshly painted within 72 hours of init
7、iating testing using and baked to the minimum requirements of the current production white topcoat enamel. Conditioning and Test Conditions All test values indicated herein are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for not less than 2
8、4 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless otherwise specified. Procedure 1. Check the microhardness of the painted surface(s) before test exposure per FLTM BI 112-02. 2. Apply rust preventive compound on current production white, base/clear coat enamel, painted panels (or base
9、/clearcoat enamel as referenced in the rust preventive specification). 3. Expose one panel in the fluorescent sunlamp cabinet at 45 /- 2 C for 16 hours. Expose a second panel in oven only at 45 +/- 2 C for 16 hours. 4. After exposure, remove the rust preventive from the panel with a soft cloth satur
10、ated with a suitable solvent. 5. Check the microhardness (as in step 1) of the paint on the areas of the test specimen on which the rust preventive was smeared. Report any staining or softening of the paint in the areas that had been covered with the rust preventive compound. Chemicals, materials, parts, and equipment referenced in this document must be used and handled properly. Each party is responsible for determining proper use and handling in its facilities.
