Abstract

This specification establishes the requirements for rain erosion resistant films with a pressure-sensitive adhesive designed for exterior applications where protection from rain erosion and abrasion are desired. The films may be applied to flat, curved, or compound surfaces. <br>The films are supplied in the following types: </span><pre> Type I Transparent, gloss, 0.014 inch thick, paper or plastic liner Type II Transparent, matte, 0.014 inch thick, plastic liner Type III Transparent, gloss, 0.018 inch thick, plastic liner Type IV - Black, matte, 0.018 inch thick, plastic liner Type V - Colored, matte, 0.014 inch thick, plastic liner Type VI - Colored, matte, 0.018 inch thick, plastic liner</pre> <br> <br>Types V and VI are furnished in colors conforming to FED-STD-595 as follows: <pre> Class 1 - Gray Color No. 36320 Class 2 - Gray Color No. 36118 Class 3 - Gray Color No. 36251 Class 4 - Green Color No. 34092</pre> <br> <strong>Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Code 414100B120-3, Highway 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5100, by using the self-addressed Standardization Document improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.</strong> <br><b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> Designed for protection of leading edges of wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers and other forward facing surfaces of aircraft and missiles from rain erosion and other forms of abrasion. The film can be applied to bare and painted surfaces. Designed for the same applications as Type I film, except they are also designed for use where non-reflective characteristics are required. Designed for the same applications as Type I film, it can be heat formed to fit radomes and missile nose cones. Designed for the same applications as Type I and II films and where a color match is desired. Designed for the same applications as Type III and where a color match is desired. <br>
