What is an Oil Paint?

An Oil Paint (PAINT,OIL) is a paint that uses drying oil or drying oil modified with varnish as the principal nonvolatile component of the vehicle. The total drying oil content, including the oil in the varnish when varnish is used, must be greater than 75 percent, by weight, of the total nonvolatile portion of the vehicle. See also ENAMEL. Excludes PAINT,HEAT RESISTING; PAINT,STENCIL; PAINT,TRAFFIC; P AINT,ANTIFOULING and PRIMER COATING.

A Lacquer is a clear or pigmented liquid coating composition which, when applied in a thin layer, sets and dries rapidly to form a solid film chiefly by evaporation of the solvent portion of the vehicle. It is composed basically of a cellulose derivative and/or a blend of resins such as vinyl, arcylic, polystyrene, and the like, mixed in a solvent, with or without the addition of plasticizers. Excludes SHELLAC, CUT; PAINT, RUBBER; PAINT, ANTIFOULING; DOPE and all items that are mechanically strippable.

A Stain is a liquid or powder composition that colors porous or nonporous material such as wood, snow, and the like. It may be transparent or translucent. It may be a dye dissolved in water, alcohol, or in toluene liquid. It may be a mixture of colored pigment, drying oil, and thinner, or a mixture of colored pigment or dye and varnish. It may be a mixture of colored pigment, wood preservative, drying oil and thinner commonly used for staining shingles. Excludes WATER COLOR.

An Enamel is pigment dispersed in a varnish vehicle containing natural or synthetic resin. The varnish may be modified with drying oil to the extent that the total drying oil content of the vehicle, including the oil in the varnish, does not exceed 75 percent, by weight, of the total nonvolatile portion of the vehicle. When applied in a thin layer, it dries principally by polymerization and/or oxidation to form a hard, smooth, opaque film. Excludes LACQUER; ENAMEL, HEAT RESISTING; bituminous and ceramic coatings and GOLD SIZE.

What is an Enamel Tinting Medium?

An Enamel Tinting Medium (TINTING MEDIUM,ENAMEL) is a mixture consisting of vehicle agents in greater proportions than the total amount of pigments. It produces a tinting color which is uniform, easily dispersed in paint, and free from grit and color separation. It may come in a liquid or semiliquid form capable of being readily dispersed with a paddle to a smooth uniform consistency. Excludes PIGMENT PAINT PRODUCTS, which may contain only small amounts of vehicle agents.

What is an Oil Varnish?

An Oil Varnish (VARNISH,OIL) is a liquid composition of drying oil(s) and resin which is specifically compounded to produce a transparent or translucent hard finish after application as a thin layer. It may have other incidental values, such as resistance to fungus, and a degree of electrical insulation. It dries and sets by evaporation, oxidation and polymerization. For items specifically compounded primarily for electrical insulating characteristics, see INSULATING VARNISH, ELECTRICAL. Excludes bituminous base items. See also LACQUER; PAINT (as modified) and ENAMEL.

What is a Cut Shellac?

A Cut Shellac (SHELLAC,CUT) is dry shellac dissolved in alcohol. It may contain pigment or dye.

What is an Antifouling Paint?

An Antifouling Paint (PAINT,ANTIFOULING) is the last coat of paint applied to the hull of a ship or surfaces of other items which are exposed to sea water, and contains toxic ingredients, such as red or yellow mercuric oxide, or red cuprous oxide. These toxic substances prevent the attachment of barnacles and other marine growth.

What is a Primer Coating?

A Primer Coating is a coating primarily formulated to form a bond and/or protective coating between the surface and the succeeding coat of paint, enamel or lacquer. Excludes DOPE; COATING COMPOUND, METAL PRETREATMENT, RESIN-ACID; bituminous base coatings and items primarily formulated as sealers, surfacers or adhesives.

What is a Traffic Paint?

A Traffic Paint (PAINT,TRAFFIC) is a paint used for marking streets, highways, airport runways, and the like. Excludes WALKWAY COMPOUND, NONSLIP.

What is a Surface Sealer?

A Surface Sealer (SEALER,SURFACE) is a conposition in liquid form primarily used to seal porous surfaces, the nonvolatile portion of which contains varnish, drying oils, and/or resins. Excludes FILLER, WOOD; PRIMER COATING; bituminous coating and rubber; and rubber base coatings.

What is a Heat Resisting Enamel?

A Heat Resisting Enamel (ENAMEL,HEAT RESISTING) is an ENAMEL that has the quality to withstand temperatures of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204.44 Celsius) and higher. See also PAINT, HEAT RESISTING. Excludes bituminous coatings.

What is a Heat Resisting Paint?

A Heat Resisting Paint (PAINT,HEAT RESISTING) is a paint that has the quality to withstand temperatures of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204.44 Celsius) and higher. See also ENAMEL, HEAT RESISTING.

What is a Polyurethane Coating?

A Polyurethane Coating is a coating material in which the basic film-forming component is polyurethane, oil modified polyurethane, or resin modified polyurethane. It may be pigmented.

What is an Epoxy Coating Kit?

An Epoxy Coating Kit is a finish coat material composed of a base compound and an accelerator. The base material consists of an epoxy resin which is a reaction product of epichlorohydrin. The activator is normally a polyamide, polyamine, or similar compound. Usually, for colored epoxy finishes, only the base material contains pigment or dye, but both base and activator may be colored. The material may also be furnished with pigment separate from both base compound and accelerator.

What is an Epoxy Primer Coating Kit?

An Epoxy Primer Coating Kit is a base coating material used as a primer for succeeding epoxy finish coatings. It is usually furnished as a kit composed of an activator and a base compound.

What is a Latex Paint?

A Latex Paint (PAINT,LATEX) is a paint whose basic vehicle is a synthetic polymer in water emulsion form. Excludes PAINT, ANTIFOULING; and PAINT, RUBBER.

What is a Paint Products Thinner?

A Paint Products Thinner (THINNER,PAINT PRODUCTS) is a straight or blended run of petroleum naphthas with aniline point of not less than 100 degrees fahrenheit (37.98 celsius), or hydrocarbons of intermediate solvent powder used in thinning paints, varnish, enamel and other coating compounds. Excludes NAPTHA (as modified), specific chemicals, thinner used in ink, sealing compounds and adhesives.

What is a Paint Products Pigment?

A Paint Products Pigment (PIGMENT,PAINT PRODUCTS) is a natural or synthetic, substantially insoluble, inorganic or organic substance which imparts color and hiding power, and is used in making paints, enamels and coating materials. It my be in powder, pellet, flake, or paste form. Paste items are pigments which are ground in drying oils or varnish, with or withour small amounts of volatile thinner, wetting and dispersing agents, or pigments ground in Japan. Excludes pigments used in ink, plastic, rubber, sealing compounds, and adhesives.

What is a Rust Inhibiting Enamel?

A Rust Inhibiting Enamel (ENAMEL,RUST INHIBITING) is an ENAMEL which reacts chemically with rust. Can be used on clean, bare metal or rusted surfaces. Excludes RUST ARRESTING COATING.

NATO Supply Class 8010 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 80, which encompasses Brushes, Paints, Sealers, and Adhesives.

Class 8010 specifically refers to Paints, Dopes, Varnishes, and Related Products. These products are used for various purposes such as coating, protecting, and enhancing the appearance of surfaces.

Paints are liquid or semi-solid substances that are applied to surfaces to provide color, protection, and decoration. They can be used on a wide range of materials including wood, metal, and concrete.

Dopes are specialized coatings used primarily in the aerospace industry. They are applied to fabric-covered aircraft to provide protection against weathering and to enhance the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft.

Varnishes are transparent or semi-transparent coatings that are applied to surfaces to provide a glossy or matte finish. They are commonly used on wood surfaces to enhance their appearance and protect them from damage.

Related products in this class may include primers, thinners, solvents, and other substances used in conjunction with paints, dopes, and varnishes. These products are often necessary for proper application and maintenance of the coatings.

The NATO Supply Class 8010 is important for military and defense purposes as it ensures that the necessary paints, dopes, varnishes, and related products are available for use in various applications, including maintenance, repair, and operational activities.
