This mil-spec supercedes
MIL-C-85054

The compound covered by MIL-DTL-85054 can be used on metal
surfaces not exceeding 250 ºF (121 ºC) as a transparent, temporary corrosion preventive coating.

MIL-DTL-85054 is intended for use on non-moving parts not requiring a lubricated surface (such as fasteners,
seams, access panels, points, unpainted metal, and where paint is cracked or damaged); however, it should not be used around liquid oxygen fittings.

 MIL-DTL-85054 Type I and II compounds may be used to displace fresh or salt water from surfaces.

 MIL-DTL-85054 is military-unique since its corrosion resistance capability is much greater than that of an off-the-shelf commercial compound, in order to protect against the harsh environment typically encountered by military aircraft.
