Sandstrom #099 is a premium, heat-cured, resin-bonded solid film lubricant meticulously engineered by Sandstrom Products Company for critical industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. Formulated with a highly refined blend of molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_2$) and specialized corrosion-inhibiting pigments within a thermosetting resin matrix, this coating provides an exceptionally low coefficient of friction under high load-bearing configurations. Sandstrom #099 functions as a permanent lubricating barrier that prevents galling, seizing, fretting, and chemical corrosion. Once thermally cross-linked, it develops outstanding structural resistance to harsh aerospace fluids, commercial solvents, and extreme environmental demands, ensuring long-term surface stability in high-temperature and vacuum applications.

Approved Specifications & Aerospace Conformance:
Sandstrom #099 holds active placement on major international military and commercial aerospace engineering databases:
- Military Performance Specification: Fully qualified and listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL) for MIL-PRF-46010H (Lubricant, Solid Film, Heat Cured, Corrosion Inhibiting).
- Pratt & Whitney: Approved and qualified to the demanding parameters of PWA 36204B specification metrics.
- Historical Document Replacements: Fully meets and supersedes classical MIL-L-8937 and MIL-L-46010 standard revisions.
- Chemical Resistance Profile: Evaluated to pass strict immersion testing criteria against Skydrol hydraulic fluids, aviation fuels (Jet A/JP-8), turbine engine lubricants, and cleaning solvents.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
- Extreme Pressure Lubrication: Molybdenum disulfide formulation withstands high mechanical loads, mitigating metal-on-metal contact wear and thermal surface scoring.
- Advanced Corrosion Inhibition: Formulated with structural inhibitors that pass the demanding ASTM B117 salt spray testing requirements, protecting underlying alloys from severe oxidation.
- Thermal and Environmental Cross-Linking: Thermosetting resin matrix creates a durable chemical bond that won't migrate, run, or wash away under intense structural stress or vacuum conditions.
- Anti-Galling Protection: Eliminates initial breakaway torque friction and prevents galling, seizing, and fretting corrosion on tightly matched threaded configurations.
- Substrate Neutrality: Safe for application across aircraft aluminum, high-strength steels, titanium, stainless steel, and various metallized platings.
Typical Applications
- Gas Turbine Engine Hardening: Extensively utilized to coat internal compressor blades, turbine slots, variable vanes, and linkage assemblies where fluid lubricants break down.
- Aerospace Fasteners & Pins: Applied to critical mechanical pins, high-tension structural bolts, hinge assemblies, and threaded couplings to ensure clean, non-seizing disassembly during MRO intervals.
- Landing Gear Components: Used on high-wear slide mechanisms, actuator guides, and pivot joints exposed to flight line contaminants and moisture fields.
- Defense Weapons Systems: Deployed on critical moving parts inside military tactical machinery and small arms where long-term, dry-film preservation and instant operational status are required.

All products with an expiration date are managed and shipped on a strict "First In – First Out" (FIFO) basis.
3. Minimum Shipping Margin
Standard Guarantee: We will not ship any products with fewer than 30 days of use remaining (days before expiration), unless previously coordinated and agreed upon with the customer.
No Automatic Guarantees: Outside of this 30-day minimum margin, Aircraft Shop Supply does not make any automatic guarantee as to the specific length of time remaining on any shelf-life item for standard orders.
4. Special Customer Requirements
We understand that certain projects, maintenance schedules, or regulatory standards require strict specifications. If your order has specific shelf-life requirements, please proceed as follows:
How to Request: If you require a specific Date of Manufacture (DOM), Date of Expiration (DOE), or a specific minimum shelf-life percentage (%), you must clearly state this requirement:
In the Comments/Notes section when placing an online order.
Explicitly written on your Purchase Order (PO) or quote request email for offline orders.
Validation Process: Once your requirement is received:
