NSN PROCESS
An essential part of the military’s logistical supply chain
is the National/NATO Stock Number system (NSN). NSNs
are used to manage and identify all supply items. They also help to standardize the military requirements for testing
and evaluating supply items. All product characteristics and performance data must be identified in the cataloging process used to assign new NSNs. McLube currently offers eight products with NSNs.
Appropriate authorities may contact McLube for more information about our NSN-assigned products.

Recent research

McLube recently completed a US Navy test program to develop new technology corrosion preventive coatings. In addition to laboratory screening studies, test protocols were developed to simulate the shipboard environment as closely as possible. Test conditions included exposure to heat, chemicals, and seawater in a marine atmosphere. Metal substrates and sample configurations were specific to the weapon system under development. Additional parameters for resistance to abrasion, impact, vibration, or other performance specifications were also tested.
