                TG No. 144                                                        August 1987


                C-18. FEDERAL SPECIFICATION TT-E-489, 10 MARCH 1980, ENAMEL, ALKYD, GLOSS
                (FOR EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR SURFACES).

                    a. This is a high-grade, alkyd-type high gloss enamel for use on primed
                exterior and interior wood or metal, particularly on smooth exterior metal.
                Its main use is for refinishing automobiles and construction equipment. There
                are two classes of enamel; Class A which may be applied with either brush or
                spray, and Class B or baking enamel, which Is intended for spray applications
                only. This specification also establishes two types of enamels; Type I, bulk
                quantities, and Type II, aerosol containers. All Type II aerosol containers
                contain Class A air-drying enamel.

                    b. This enamel may or may not contain lead and insoluble chromium VI
                compounds. This is determined by the pigment used to achieve the desired
                colors. Therefore, the MSDS for the specific paint should be consulted, since
                this formulation is available in approximately 70,different colors.

                    c. The volatile composition of Type 1, Class A and B enamel must meet
                that presented In table C-38.


                Table C-38
                Volatile Composition
                                                                         Percent by volume
                Ingredient                                                    Maximum

                (a)  Solvents with an olefinic or cycloolefinic type               5
                     of unsaturation

                (b)  The total of aromatic compounds with eight or                 8
                     more carbon atoms in the molecule, except
                     ethylbenzene, methylbenzoate, and phenylacetate

he total of ethylbenzene, trichloroethylene,                20
                     toluene, and branched-chain ketones

                (d)  A solvent which may be classified into more
                     than one of the above groups shall be considered
                     a member of the group having the lowest allowable
                     concentration

                (e)  Total of (a), (bi, and (c)                                   20

                Since the solvent content is limited by generic terms, the used paint P.SD@.
                must be consulted.
