MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
20 September 1996
4.3.1.2 Safety precautions. Follow the safety precautions recommended in the vendor's material safety data sheet (MSDS) and the following precautions recommended by the Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC).
(a) Skin contact with NOC will result in irritation and chemical burns.
Wear impervious protection clothing constructed of neoprene or
other material of equivalent resistance to penetration so as to
prevent skin contact. Use elbow-length gloves (with cuffs) as
minimum protection any time open containers of the cleaning agent
are handled. Wash potentially exposed skin areas with soap and
water at breaks, and at the conclusion of the operation. Do not
use organic solvents for this purpose. Thoroughly clean
protective garments at the conclusion of the operation and store
for reuse. Remove clothing which becomes contaminated as soon as
possible and thoroughly clean before reuse. Seek prompt medical
assistance should a rash, chemical burn, or other adverse effect
be experienced which may be related to working with NOC. Do not
store or consume food and tobacco in areas where they could be
contaminated with NOC.
(b) Eye contact with NOC could result in chemical burns. Wear chemical
worker's goggles for all operations where eye contact with NOC
could occur. Use a full-length face shield for any operation
where splashing of the material could occur. In the event of eye
contact, personnel should flush their eyes thoroughly with fresh
water for not less than 15 minutes, then seek prompt medical
attention. An eye wash system conforming to the design
requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Z358.1 shall be in the immediate vicinity of all operations. Eye
wash systems shall provide not less than 15 minutes of water for
emergency flushing.
(c) Over exposure to mists or vapors from NOC may result in sneezing,
coughing, respiratory system irritation, and possibly chemical
burns and subsequent edema in the upper airways. Based on off-gas testing at temperatures up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit (EF), such a possibility is unlikely, considering the magnitude and frequency
of use. In the event any adverse health effects are experienced, cease operations involving NOC and consult the cognizant medical department representative for additional guidance.
4.3.1.3 Disposal. Disposal of NOC shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. If neutralizing NOC, dilute at least 4:1 with water before adding acid to prevent forming a precipitate.
4.3.1.4 Compatibility. Appendix A gives the compatibility of NOC with various materials. Where specific information is lacking, perform compatibility testing as specified in A.3.1 of appendix A. NOC used to clean aluminum or anodized aluminum shall be diluted 50 percent with water as specified in 4.3.1.6.
4.3.1.5 Inspection prior to use. The following inspections shall be performed prior to using NOC.
(a) A shake test as specified in 5.13.2.2 and a visual inspection as specified in 5.13.3.2 shall be performed. NOC which fails either inspection due to the presence of oil shall be rejected and returned to the vendor. NOC which fails the visual inspection due to the presence of particulate or fiber shall be either filtered with a 5 micrometer nominal or finer filter to remove the
suspended particulate or fiber or rejected and returned to the vendor.
(b) Activities verifying cleanliness using the non-volatile residue (NVR) by filtration procedure of appendix B shall sample one container or drum of each NOC lot or batch to determine the background NVR. NOC from different lots or batches may be sampled from storage tanks, such as flushing rigs, to determine the background NVR. For NOC fresh from a container, drum, or tank which has not been used, the baseline NVR shall be no greater than
