Description

The primer IPLVPF1 Type 1 for ferrous metals (gray, approximately BS381C 627) replaces Def Stan 80-206, and the IPLVPNF2 Type 2 for non-ferrous (gray-green 283) replaces the chromate 80-207, which has not complied with REACH since January 2019. Both come with the activator IPLVPCAT. The finish IPLVCARC is a matt CARC instead of 80-208 with the activator IPLVCARC-CAT, the gloss IPLVTCGL instead of 80-209 with the activator IPLVTC-CAT, in colors NATO Green 285, Light Stone 361 and Desert Sand 380. For ammunition there are the lead-free and chromium-free IP80-25, the varnish IP80-175 Class C, phenol-formaldehyde varnishes of the QX series for the inner surface of shells, the shellac IP80-44-6 per the withdrawn Def Stan 80-44, and Incralac. For weapons there are the IP80-56 matt black epoxy over a phosphated surface, the IP80-109 varnish per RD 1177 and the IP80-65 for jerricans. General-purpose are the IP80-54, IP80-55, zinc phosphate IP80-126, IP80-152 and the preservative compound IP80-217 PX-1 (NATO C 614). The anti-slip epoxy IP1977 meets Def Stan 80-134 Type 1 and 80-211 Type 3.

How to choose

For military vehicles start with a primer for the metal, IPLVPF1 Type 1 for ferrous and IPLVPNF2 Type 2 for non-ferrous. Then choose the finish, the matt CARC IPLVCARC with IR reflectance or the gloss IPLVTCGL without it. For ammunition take the IP80-25 or IP80-175, for small arms the IP80-56, and for decks and floors the IP1977.
