FLUID FILM Exceeds Expectations & Requirements in Aviation and Aerospace
IIn the critical aerospace & aviation industries, corrosion preventives and lubricants can face a vast and extensive battery of tests to reach chemical approval. FLUID FILM has faced intense scrutiny by government research laboratories as advanced as Boeing's Space Systems Division for use on the Space Shuttle and Boeing's Engineering Materials and Process Laboratory for use on aluminum alloys, exceeding process requirements and expectations, ultimately resulting in reduced maintenance costs.
FLUID FILM has proven so effective in these industries that specifications were written by the U.S. Navy/Army/Marine Corps, Sundstrand Aerospace, Boeing North America, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. National Guard, Sikorsky Helicopter and Delta airlines for the use of FLUID FILM in a variety of applications.
The U.S. Air Force, in accordance with Mil-C-16173-E Grade 2, conducted testing on FLUID FILM. FLUID FILM exceeded all performance requirements.

FLUID FILM proved so successful at protecting magnesium that Sundstrand Aerospace wrote specification number MS02-43-01 for FLUID FILM, which is now used throughout the Helicopter Industry.
Laboratory and field testing of FLUID FILM by the US Coast Guard for use on Sikorsky HH#F helicopters demonstrated maintenance cost reduction. FLUID FILM subsequently incorporated into maintenance schedules for several aircraft types. ARSC Engineering specification GEN 200000.0113 - October 1993.

Apply FLUID FILM Liquid A on the inside of the tube and on the adapter/reducer tube external surfaces after adjustment in order to encapsulate the entire adjustable end. Apply FLUID FILM Liquid AR on all internal and external threaded surfaces before assembly of the pushrod.
The Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater evaluated Fluid Film AR on the upper deck flight control rods and found it to be "extremely effective" for this application.
