What is MIL-PRF-680 specification?

MIL-PRF-680 is a US Department of Defense (DoD)

Military Performance Specification for “Degreasing

Solvents” used for parts cleaning of weapons, ground

vehicles, equipment and aircraft

Specification involves 5 types of degreasing solvents

categorized primarily by their different flash points

This is the most widely used and recognized military

specification for solvent cleaning

History of Specification

PD-680 was previous specification (1992) for “Drying Cleaning and Degreasing Solvents”

Used widely by the US DoD in general cleaning applications

Classified into three types: – Type I Minimum flash point of 100F (38C) – Type II Minimum flash point of 140F (60C) – Type III Minimum flash point of 199F (93C)

PD-680 Cancelled

PD-680 specification cancelled on December 13th, 1999

Replaced by MIL-PRF-680 solvent degreasing specification

US Military states that if a Technical Order has not been updated and continues to reference the use of P-D-680, MIL-PRF-680 is the accepted substitute

8

US Military states that if a

Technical Order has not

been updated and

continues to reference the

use of P-D-680, MIL-

PRF-680 is the accepted

substitute.

Why was PD-680 cancelled?

Toxic substances

Hazardous waste

Air pollutant

Flammability

Specification was too general

10

MIL-PRF-680 vs PD-680

MIL-PRF-680 specification requires:

Lower aromatic content

Limited % carcinogenic and toxic chemicals

Lower vapor pressure

Lower non-volatile residue limit

Soil cleaning performance test (not a PD-680 requirement)

Lower odor
