Designation:F110509(Reapproved 2014)Standard Practice forPreparing Aircraft Cleaning Compounds,Liquid-Type,Temperature-Sensitive,or Solvent-Based,for StorageStability Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1105;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the determination of the stability instorage of liquid enzyme-based,terpene-based,and solvent-based chemical cleaning compounds used to clean the exteriorsurfaces of aircraft.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 U.S.Government Document:Federal SpecificationPPP-P-704 Pails,Metal Shipping,Steel 1 through 12 Gallons23.Summary of Practice3.1 Storage stability is determined by evaluation of theeffect of time,temperature,and environmental conditions onthe cleaning compound.Samples used for testing are filledcontainers taken from the manufacturers controlled productionformulation,packaged,and delivered to the purchaser fornormal use.3.2 The sample container shall be subjected to the specifiedstorage environment for a period of 12 months.The test shallbe completed prior to 24 months from date of packaging.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice determines the procedure to be used toensure the long-term storage stability of aircraft cleaning andmaintenance products in order to ensure their ability to meetthe shelf-life requirements called up in specifications or con-tract documents.The subsequent testing requirements aredetailed in the specification or contract.5.Sampling5.1 The sample for storage stability testing shall be takenfrom a controlled production formula,packaged lot,or batchdelivered in a sealed,filled container to the purchaser for use.This sample is normally a 1-gal can conforming to FederalSpecification PPP-P-704.This material shall have previouslybeen tested and passed all other specification requirements forqualification or acceptance.The sample container selected forthe test shall be kept sealed and unopened for the duration ofthe test.The sample container shall be durably and legiblymarked with the following minimum information:Storage Stability Test SampleSupplierFormula numberDate of packagingCold test periodHot test periodBatch/Lot No.Test beganTest ends6.Procedure6.1 Storage EnvironmentPlace the sample container in astorage area where a temperature of 10 to 27C(50 to 80F)ismaintained at least 80%of the total storage test time.Do notsubject the storage test sample to temperature over 32C(90F)or under 12C(10F)during the entire test.Maintain thesample container in a static condition not subject to vibration,rolling,inversion,or other movement.Movement to thenecessary temperature-controlled area for cold-and hot-temperature testing is accepted,but accomplish such transferwith minimum(or no)disturbance of container contents.6.1.1 Cold-Temperature Storage EnvironmentSubject thesample container to a 15-day time interval at 8 6 2C(17 63F).Conduct this cold test interval during the period 90 to 120days after start of the storage stability test time.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F07 on Aerospaceand Aircraft and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F07.07 on Qualifica-tion Testing of Aircraft Cleaning Materials.Current edition approved Dec.1,2014.Published December 2014.Originallyapproved in 1987.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as F1105 09.DOI:10.1520/F1105-09R14.2Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,Bldg.4 Section D,700Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-5094 Attn:NPODS.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 6.1.2 Hot-Temperature Storage EnvironmentSubject thesample container to a 15-day time interval at 32 6 2C(90 65F).Conduct this hot test interval after 270 days of elapsedtest time but 60 days before the termination of the storage test.6.1.3 Completion of TestAfter 12 months storage testtime,carefully remove the sample container(if necessary),without agitation,rolling,or inversion,from the storage areaand place in a room,in a stable location for 48 6 1 h at atemperature of 22 to 27C(71 to 80F).At the end of 48 h,remove the top of the container and examine the internalsurface for corrosion or sediment.Disregard discoloration ofthe interior surface of the container.Take samples of theproduct and test in accordance with the relevant specifica
