1/ MIL-PRF-23377 (type I) or MIL-PRF-85582 shall be used on aluminum and nonferrous surface or when both ferrous and nonferrous materials are present. Alternative Coatings of MIL-DTL-

53022, MIL-DTL-53084 or MIL-DTL-53030 may also be used on both ferrous and nonferrous materials or when both materials are present in the same assembly.

5.4 Preservative treatments for wood. Preservative treatments are often required for both painted and unpainted material and must be used when specified. A nonpentachlorophenol preservative should be used for this purpose. Caution must be exercised in the use of preservative materials as some water based preservatives might cause objectionable swelling and/or a raised-grain in a high quality end use. When a preservative treatment is specified, the wood surface shall be dry and free from grease and other foreign matter before it is treated. Wood that is to be treated shall not have a moisture content exceeding 20 percent of its oven dry weight. Where possible, wood parts shall be cut to final dimensions, planed or sanded smooth,
