The adhesive willtemporarily hold the note to another sheet of paper, a file, orother surface without damaging or otherwise modifying th

17、esurface of the sheet or file. The notes display a written messageor reminder.4.2 This specification is based on the U.S. Government CIDA-A-2546, which was cancelled in 1999.5.

30、D6787M 02 (2012)1214.2 Sheet Removal:14.2.1 The sheets of pad paper shall release easily from thepad without leaving any trace of adhesive on the underlyingsheet.14.3 Multiple Sheet Lift:14.3.1 When removed from the pad, the first note removedshall not remove another note when tested according to th

31、efollowing method.14.3.2 A pad is securely mounted to a flat, hard, horizontalsurface with double-coated pressure sensitive adhesive tape.The tape covers the entire back side of the pad and thenon-adhesive side of the pad faces up. A random number ofsheets between 1 and 60 are removed from the top o

32、f the padand discarded. The sheet remaining on top of the pad isremoved by grasping between the thumb and forefinger andlifting off the pad at a 90 angle. The next 24 sheets areremoved from the same pad in a like manner for a total of 25sheets. Count the number of times more than one sheet isremoved

33、 at a time (multiple lift). Repeat the test five times onthe same lot of pads and average the number of multiple liftsto obtain an individual test result. Multiple lift shall not occurmore than one time per pad.14.4 Fiber Pull:14.4.1 When adhered to a sheet of copy paper, notes shallnot pull paper f

34、ibers from the copy paper when tested by thefollowing method.14.4.2 Place a sheet of multi-purpose copy paper on a hard,flat surface. Randomly select two test sheets from the note pad.Separately place the two test sheets of the pad paper on thecopy paper and adhere each by rolling once in their leng

35、thwisedirection (that is, once back and once forth) using the hand heldroller. On one of the test sheets, write over the adhesive striparea with a sharp No. 2 pencil, using enough pressure to indentthe paper. Remove each test sheet from the copy paper.Evidence of paper fibers on the adhesive strip s

36、hall beconsidered as failure to meet the requirement.14.5 Initial Flagging:14.5.1 The sheets of pad paper, when adhered to a sheet ofmulti-purpose copy paper, shall remain attached to the copypaper when tested as specified in the following method.14.5.2 Adhere a sheet of the pad paper to the copy pa

37、perusing the method described in 14.4.2. Hold the edges of thespecimen so they do not lift off the paper before the timer isstarted. By hand, roll the combined sample around a cylindricalmandrel 51.0 mm (2.0 in.) in diameter with the horizontal edgeof the sheet perpendicular to the axis of the cylin

38、der. See Fig.1. Flagging is defined as the length of the adhesive end of thesheet that peels away from the copy paper due to stresses frombeing bent around a curve. Total flagging is the sum of flaggingat both ends of the sheet. Mark the points at which thespecimen separates from the paper after 30

39、s have elapsed. Testfive specimens from the same lot of notes and average theflagging values to obtain an individual test result.14.5.3 The note pads shall not show a total flagging lengthin excess of 25 % of the length of the horizontal edge 30 s afterthe combined sample is mounted on the cylindric

40、al mandrel.See Table 3.14.6 Repositioned Flagging:14.6.1 After repositioning notes to paper 10 times andtesting for flagging, the note shall remain attached to the paperwhen tested according to the following method.14.6.2 A sheet from a note pad is positioned on a sheet ofmulti-purpose copy paper an

41、d adhered using the proceduredescribed in 14.4.2. It is then removed and repositioned on afresh section of the copy paper and adhered as described above.This cycle is repeated 9 times for a total of 10 adhesions. Thesheet is then tested for initial flagging per 14.5. Repeat this test5 times per lot

42、of notes and average the results to obtain anindividual test result.14.6.3 Repositioned flagging shall not exceed 60 % of thelength of the horizontal edge. See Table 3.15. Environmental Requirements15.1 BleachingTo obtain an acceptable brightness orcolor, chemical bleaching of the paper may be used.

43、 Thebleaching process shall be elemental chlorine free. Certifica-tion of compliance shall be made available upon request.15.2 Environmental RequirementsThe repositionablewriting paper shall not contain toxic or potentially harmfulmaterials as defined in Federal Document 16 CFR Part 1500.3.The contr
