M
echanics, P-D-680 cleaning solvents
have been around a long time. As of right
now, P-D-680 Types I, II and III are can-
celled and have been replaced with envi-
ronmentally safer cleaning solvents.
Aviation and ground support users,
do not order P-D-680 of
any
type from
the supply system. Instead, order MIL-
PRF-680, the safer cleaning solvents
with the following NSNs:
When using these hazardous solvents, be cautious. The flash points are 100°F for
Type I, 140°F for Type II and 200°F for Type III. Use all safety precautions when using
flammable liquids.
Wear the appropriate protective gear, such as face shield, rubber gloves and a respi-
rator if required by your local environmental SOP.

All Aircraft…
sorry, fellas.
we’re the
new
kids on the
block!
you
guys
gotta
go!
buh-
bye!
I
t must be a Monday! You’ve got aircraft corrosion problems and can’t find the
corrosion team.
Don’t fret. The team is now called the PEO Aviation Corrosion Prevention and
Control Center of Excellence (CPC CoE). They provide assistance with corrosion
prevention and control to all aircraft maintenance personnel worldwide.
If your unit needs help, the CPC CoE assistance team will send two represen-
tatives to your unit.
Their assistance consists of a 2
1
⁄
2
-hour classroom session followed by a 1-hour
hands-on session with your bird. You will learn the basics of corrosion, repair
techniques, stopping and preventing corrosion and types of materials to prevent
corrosion. The team can assist with other corrosion problems too, whether it’s on
an airframe or on a piece of aviation ground support equipment (AGSE).
You can find corrosion information on the CPC CoE website at:
To request a visit, contact the corrosion hotline at DSN 897-0209, (256) 313-
0209 or email:
cpc-coe@peoavn.redstone.army.mil
