Questions we are asked most
What is the difference between MIL-PRF-680 types?
The types differ in flash point, evaporation rate and aromatic content. Higher flash point types are safer but evaporate more slowly. The maintenance documentation specifies the type.
Is a pre-paint cleaning solvent the same as a paint thinner?
No. Surface preparation solvents remove oil and contamination before painting; thinners are formulated for a specific paint system. They should not be used interchangeably.
