4.6.2.2.2 Test at room temperature. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test
(see 4.6.2.2.1) shall be opened and one end of each specimen shall be clamped so that the other
end of the specimen hangs freely. A 3-1/2 pound weight shall then be carefully attached to the
free end of the specimen so as not to impact load the seal. The weight shall be allowed to act for
5 minutes, whereupon the weight shall be removed, and the specimen examined for separation of
the heat-sealed faces. Any evidence of delamination of one ply away from the other in the
heat-sealed area shall be cause for rejection. The evaluation shall be limited to the heat-sealed
area specified in 4.6.2.2.1.

4.6.2.2.3 Test at 100 °F. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test (see 4.6.2.2.1)
shall be tested the same as those specimens tested at room temperature (see 4.6.2.2.2) except that
specimens shall be clamped in a forced draft circulating air oven maintained at 100 ± 2 °F with a
weight of 2 pounds ± 1/2 ounce acting on the free end of the specimen for 1 hour. The rate of air
circulation shall be held to the minimum required to maintain uniform temperature throughout
the oven. In no case shall the rate of air circulation cause any movement of the weighted
specimens. The weights shall be attached after the specimens and test clamp fixtures have been
placed in the oven. The weights shall be removed prior to taking the specimen from the oven in
order to avoid excessive loading due to swaying action. After one hour, the weights shall be
removed and the specimen examined for separation of the heat-seal faces. Any evidence of
delamination of one ply away from the other in the heat-sealed area specified in 4.6.2.2.1 shall be
cause for rejection.

4.6.2.2.4 Test at 160 °F. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test (see 4.6.2.2.1)
shall be tested the same as those at 100 °F (see 4.6.2.2.3) except that the weight shall be
10 ounces ± 1/2 ounce and the temperature in the forced draft circulating air oven shall be
160 ± 2 °F. The rate of air circulation shall be held to the minimum required to maintain uniform
temperature throughout the oven. In no case shall the rate of air circulation cause any movement
of the weighted specimens.

4.6.2.3 Seam strength sealed before aging.

4.6.2.3.1 Test specimens. The six sections for this test (see figure 1) shall be folded in half
with the crease parallel to the long axis. The open or unfolded length shall be heat-sealed by
clamping in the sealer and simultaneously drawing a sharp-penciled line on the backing along the
edge of the sealer jaw. The folded length of the test section shall then be cut off 1/2 inch from
the end. After heat-sealing, the samples shall be aged in a circulating air oven maintained at 160
± 2 °F for 12 consecutive days (288 hours). After aging, 1-inch-wide specimens, as specified in
4.6.2.2.1, shall be cut from the sections for test at room temperature, 100 °F, and 160 °F.

4.6.2.3.2 Test at room temperature. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test
(see 4.6.2.3.1) shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.2.2.

4.6.2.3.3 Test at 100 °F. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test (see 4.6.2.3.1)
shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.2.3.

4.6.2.3.4 Test at 160 °F. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test (see 4.6.2.3.1)
shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.2.4.

4.6.2.4 Seam strength sealed after aging.

4.6.2.4.1 Test specimens. The six sections for this test (see figure 1), in the flat unsealed
condition as taken from the sample roll, shall be aged in a circulating air oven maintained at
160 ± 2 °F for 12 consecutive days (288 hours). After removal from the oven the unsealed
sections shall be returned to room temperature. Test specimens shall then be obtained as
specified in 4.6.2.2.1.

4.6.2.4.2 Test at room temperature. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test
(see 4.6.2.4.1) shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.2.2.

4.6.2.4.3 Test at 100 °F. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test (see 4.6.2.4.1)
shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.2.3.

4.6.2.4.4 Test at 160 °F. The six 1-inch-wide specimens selected for this test (see 4.6.2.4.1)
shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.2.4.

4.6.3 Aging resistance. Three specimens, 36 by 6 inches, cut from across the roll of
material, at points which shall be not less than 1 yard apart, shall be used for this test.

4.6.3.1 Procedure. The specimens shall be subjected to the following aging cycle:

8 hours in a humidity chamber at 100 ± 2 °F and 90 to 95 percent RH, followed by

16 hours in a circulating air oven at 160 ± 2 °F.

The aging cycle shall be repeated every weekday for five consecutive days. The specimens shall
remain in the circulating air oven at 160 ± 2 °F on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, except that
holidays shall not exceed a total of two days over the entire aging period. The aging procedure
shall continue for fourteen consecutive days. The specimens shall be folded loosely, hung, rolled
loosely, or laid flat in the test chamber during the aging period. At the conclusion of the aging
period the specimens shall be returned to room temperature and examined, particularly at all
edges, for delamination brought about by the aging exposure. There shall be no prying or
picking of the plies when examining the amount of ply separation. For purposes of this test,
delamination shall occur if ply separation at any one given point extends in more than 1/2 inch
from the edge with an edge length separation greater than 1-inch. Satisfactory specimens shall
be returned for use in conducting the “aged” portion of waterproofness and oil resistance testing.

4.6.4 Waterproofness.

4.6.4.1 Preparation of test specimens. Five 6 by 8 inch pouches shall be fabricated from as
received material using the sealing conditions specified in 4.5. Five additional pouches shall be
similarly prepared using barrier material that was aged in accordance with 4.6.3. Each pouch
shall be filled with white filter paper and a final heat-seal closure effected. The bags shall then
be immersed under a one-inch head of water containing Aerosol O.T. and a water-soluble red
dye to aid in determining leakage. The water shall be maintained at 73 ± 5 °F and the length of
immersion shall be not less than 72 hours. At the conclusion of the test, the bag shall be
removed, allowed to drain, opened at one end and the filter paper shall be examined for dye
staining. Staining of the filter paper or delamination of the barrier material shall constitute a
failure.

4.6.5 Low temperature flexibility. Twenty 4 by 12 inch test specimens shall be drawn from
the sample roll of barrier material, ten in each principal direction. Clamps to facilitate
subsequent handling of the specimens shall be placed at both ends of each specimen. The
specimens shall be placed in a test chamber maintained at -25 ± 2 °F for at least one hour.
Placement of the specimens in the chamber shall allow full air circulation against all surfaces of
each specimen. Each specimen shall be individually removed from the chamber and
immediately drawn lengthwise over a 1/4 inch diameter stainless steel mandrel while
maintaining the specimen in a bend of approximately 180 degrees throughout the test. This
flexing operation shall be conducted rapidly and should be completed within 3 seconds after
removal of the specimen from the cold chamber. The test shall be conducted on five specimens
from each principal direction with the heat-sealable face against the mandrel. The remaining ten
specimens shall be similarly tested with the opposite face in contact with the mandrel. Each
specimen shall be observed for evidence of delamination, cracking, or ply separation.

5. PACKAGING

5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified
in the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain
requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory
Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within
the Military Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.

6.1 Intended use. The barrier materials covered by this specification are intended for use in
specialized military methods of preservation. The combination of all performance characteristics of
MIL-PRF-121; flexibility; waterproofness; contact corrosivity; greaseproofness; seam strength and
fabrication; puncture, bursting, aging, blocking, and curl resistance; delamination; water resistance
of markings provide the necessary requirements for protection from exposure to the extremes of the
navy/naval aviation environment. Navy/naval aviation items are exposed to high moisture, high salt
concentration, transfer at sea, rough handling, and minimal storage conditions. There are no
commercial equivalents that meet the physical, mechanical, and corrosion requirements necessary to
protect materiel that is exposed to the operational naval aviation environment. Specifically,
MIL-STD-2073-1, Methods of Preservation 20 and 33, use MIL-PRF-121 as a primary source of
barrier materials that provide waterproof and greaseproof protection for applicable items
encountering the above conditions. MIL-PRF-121 provides one of the building blocks for applying
specialized military preservation techniques approved under MIL-STD-2073-1.

6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:

a. Title, number, and date of this specification.

b. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and, if required, the specific issue of
individual documents referenced.

c. Type of material (see 1.2).

d. If first article inspection is required (see 3.1).

e. Length and width of rolls required, if other than standard size (see 3.4).

f. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).

6.3 Heat-seal equipment. In the interest of standardization and for ease of manipulation, all
seals for test under this specification should be effected on a jaw-type heat-sealer. This,
however, should not be construed as an indication of Governmental preference in regard to
sealing equipment. It is not intended that the operating temperature of heat-sealing equipment be
limited to 525 °F or less. While equipment may be operated at temperatures exceeding 525 °F to
accomplish a satisfactory seal, the barrier material should also be capable of being heat-sealed at
temperatures of 525 °F or less.

6.4 First article test samples. Samples for first article inspection should consist of a sample
of the barrier material which has been produced by the contractor using the same production
process, procedures, and equipment that is going to be used in fulfilling the contract.

6.5 Conformance inspection lot. For purposes of sampling, an inspection lot for
examinations and tests should consist of all material made by the same process from the same
components by one manufacturer and submitted for delivery at one time.
