- How should items that require Method 20 be packaged?
Per MIL-STD-2073, 'Items shall be treated with appropriate preservatives in accordance
with procedures of 5.2.2.2 or 5.2.2.3. Contact preservative coated items shall be wrapped in a material conforming to MIL-PRF-121, Grade A, or
QQ-A-1876. Flexible wraps shall snuggly enclose the coated part or item and be secure to prevent unintentional unwrapping. Parts or items coated
with hard film preservatives conforming to MIL-PRF-16173, Grade 1 or 4, may, when dried, be exempted from wrapping. Items preserved with VCI
treated materials conforming to MIL-PRF-3420 or MIL-PRF-22019, respectively taped or sealed to form an airtight enclosure, are also exempted
from wrapping. Projections, sharp edges, or other features of the item, which may damage the barrier wrap, shall be cushioned as required in
accordance with 5.2.3. The type of cushioning and barrier material used shall be commensurate with the size, weight and configuration of the
preserved part or item. Method 20 packs shall pass the applicable inspection requirements of table G.I.'
