Options beginning with “C” are packaged in a ready-to-mix unit with the resin and catalyst separated by a
physical barrier by a third party packager. These options are equivalent (fit, form and function) to the same
option that does not begin with “C” and may be freely substituted by Design and Manufacturing.
1/ Specific batch sizes for options -C are listed in Table 6. The last two characters in the Table 6
option number indicates the base material option (e.g. -C215 is a 21.2 gram batch size for -C015 material
option). The -C options shall have the same material properties as the base material option.

1.0 SCOPE: This standard specifies the requirements for various options of epoxy based ink systems suitable for
screen printing or spraying onto glass, metal, gold and other non-porous surfaces. Intended use is for a two-
part marking ink which possesses good high temperature color retention and is resistant to acids, alkalines,
solvents and abrasion. This material is acceptable for low outgassing applications.

1.1. Classification: Catalysts supplied with the inks shall be of the types as listed below for the applicable
options listed in Table 1.

Type I: General purpose. For use on all substrates. Room temperature or heat cure.
Type II: For use on gold, glass, untreated aluminum and untreated titanium substrates. Heat cured only.

3.2. Product Characteristics: The product characteristics of the material, as received, shall conform to 3.2.1
through 3.2.5.

3.2.1. Color: The color of the ink base compound shall be as specified in Table 1 for the applicable option.
3.2.2. Mixing Consistency: When mixed per Table 3 and MIL-I-43553, the ink base compound and the
curing agent shall mix freely to produce a homogeneous mixture free from skins, lumps, sediment
and precipitant materials. After mixing, the components shall not gel during the specified working
life (Ref.3.2.2), and chemicals that may separate shall be readily dispersible.
3.2.3. Working Life: When mixed per Table 3 and MIL-I-43553, the material shall have a minimum working
life of 6 hours at ambient temperature (25.0°C or less) when tested in accordance with 3.2.2.
3.2.4. Storage Life: The storage life of the material shall be at least 12 months from the original date of
manufacture when stored at or below 25°C. Options -C shall have at least 50% of the material
storage life (from original date of manufacture) remaining prior to shipment. After this period or following
opening the container, the storage life shall be controlled per the requirements of SV 553028 (SS/L
only).
3.2.5. Workmanship: The material shall be uniform in quality and condition and shall be free from foreign
material. The ink base compound and curing agent shall meet the workmanship requirements of MIL-I-
43553. Options -C shall show no evidence of the physical barrier being compromised or evidence
of catalyst leaching into the resin or vice versa.

is tested for adhesion in accordance with Method B of ASTM D 3359. The ink shall meet the
requirements for Classification 4 or 5. Testing and compliance with adhesion properties are not
supplier requirements. Space Systems/LORAL will test for conformance with this requirement. Lots
failing this test are unacceptable for use, and may be returned only with supplier consent.
3.3.3. MIL-I-43553 Requirements: The cured ink shall meet the requirements of MIL-I-43553 as listed in Table
2.

accordance with ASTM E 595, shall not exceed 10.8% total mass loss (TML) for all options excepting
-0011, -0013, -0014, -0111, -0113 and -0114 which shall be 8.0% total mass loss and 0.10% volatile
condensable material (VCM). Testing and compliance with outgassing properties are not supplier
requirements. Space Systems/LORAL will test for conformance with this requirement. Lots failing this
test are unacceptable for use, and may be returned only with supplier consent.
3.3.5. Testing: Space Systems/LORAL acceptance testing shall be in accordance with the requirements of SV
553028. Testing per SV 553028 is for SS/L internal use only, this is not a supplier requirement.
