MIL-C-5541 AND ALODINE 1200S

I need to know if the Alodine 1200 S , is according to specification MIL-C-5541, and the difference with the Alodine 1500 and Alodine 600. Please I need this information as soon as possible.

Yes, all three of these materials are on the Qualified Products Lists for Mil-C-5541. Alodine is a trade name so you should find out from the manufacturer what the exact differences are between the 1500 and 600, but my understanding (courtesy of Benjamin Curto in letter 8243) is that 1500 is colorless (clear) and 600 is multicolor (gold)
