A-A-52443 Lubricant, Mold, Tire, Silicone Base Emulsion (Metric)This CID covers one type of silicone-base tire-mold lubricant furnished as a concentrated emulsion for further dilution with 100 or more parts of water. It is furnished in metal containers (with metal screw-top caps) of various sizes (see 2.8). The solution is used for spraying (or otherwise coating) tire molds, recapping or retread molds, tube plates, and the like. When applied, the solution will form a thin, inert film to prevent adhesion of "rubber stocks" and will assure a good surface finish of the cured compound.

5.5 Corrosive action. Experience has shown that the amount of corrosion inhibiting agent adequate to protect containers and equipment against any corrosive action by the undiluted tire mold lubricant (see 2.7) may at times be inadequate for completely affective protection of equipment from diluted lubricants made with water from some local sources. In this case, the addition of proper amounts of sodium nitrite or other inhibitor has proved desirable.

5.6 Cross-reference data. Silicone based tire mold lubricants conforming to this CID are interchangeable/substitutable with lubricants conforming to MIL-L-3921A(AT).

5.7 Regulatory requirements. The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials in accordance with Public Law 94-580 to the maximum extent practicable.
