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.

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.

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.
