echanics, aircraft corrosion treatment to protect aluminum is an ever changing,
never-ending job as product improvements remain ongoing.
If you’ve been using the current Alodine Touch-N-Prep 1132 pens, NSN 8030-01-
460-0246, you know they save time and easily apply corrosion treatment.
If
your
requisitions
are
being
cancelled
through
the
supply
system,
or
through
GSA, it’s because there is a
more environmentally-friendly
version available. The 1132 pens
contain hexavalent chromium, a
dangerous carcinogen.
Here’s the big question a lot
of people are asking: Is there a
replacement corrosion pen to do
touch-up corrosion treatment?
The answer is yes. The AMCOM
corrosion team says you can
order the replacement Alodine
Touch-N-Prep 871 pen using
NSN 8030-01-560-9113. These
pens use trivalent chromium,
which is safer to use.
Make a note until each aircraft’s Expendable and Durable Items List is updated in
the next change.
As always, when you are applying corrosion treatment, don’t forget to wear your
personal protective equipment (PPE).
If you have questions, call the AMCOM Corrosion Center of Excellence Hotline,
(256) 313-0209, DSN 897-0209 or toll free at (866) 222-2364.
