A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specificatio
3、n covers film, paper, and cloth pressure-sensitive tapes used for box closure and sealing.1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are tobe regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently, w
4、ithout combining values in anyway.1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 14, of this specification. Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this stan
5、dard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

16、ame3. Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 General definitions for packaging and distributionenvironments are found in Terminology D 996.4. Significance and Use4.1 Type I is a polyester film-backed pressure-sensitive tapeintended for box closure and sealing applications wherestrength and resistance to s
17、unlight, rain, and other deterioratingelements are required. It is usually used on weather-resistantfiberboard (Class WR or WWVR of Specification D 4727/D 4727M). The tape is intended for H-type closure or sealingof regular slotted boxes (Closure Method 2B3 and 2B4 ofPractice D 1974), and other appl
18、ications where the tape will beoverlapped onto itself. Type I, Class 2 transparent tape can alsobe used for label attachment and covering applications whereweather resistance is needed.4.2 Type II is a polyester film-backed pressure-sensitivetape intended for box closure applications where strength
19、andwater-resistance are required. It is usually used on domesticgrade fiberboard (Class D of Specification D 4727/D 4727M).The tape is most suited for center seam closure of regular orregular slatted boxes (Closure Method 2B4 of Practice D 1974)and other applications where the tape will not be overl
20、appedonto itself. Type II, Class 2 tape is also used for labelattachment and covering applications where water resistance isdesired.4.3 Type III is a polypropylene film-backed pressure-sensitive tape intended for box closure applications where ageneral purpose water-resistant tape is desired. It is
21、used ondomestic grade fiberboard (Class D of Specification D 4727/D 4727M). The tape is suited for center seam closure of regularslotted boxes (Closure Method 2B4 of Practice D 1974).4.4 Type IV is a woven cloth-backed pressure-sensitive tapefor less critical packaging applications where a cloth-bac
22、kedtape is desired.4.5 Type V is a paper-backed weather-resistant, water-resistant pressure-sensitive tape for box closure and sealingapplications where weather resistance and water resistance arerequired. It may be used on weather-resistant or domesticfiberboard (Classes WR, WWVR, and D of Specific
23、ationD 4727/D 4727M). The tape is suited for center seam andH-type closures or sealing of regular slotted boxes (ClosureMethods 2B3, 2B4, and 2B7 of Practice D 1974) and otherapplications where it may be overlapped onto itself.5.

28、ll be a polyester film.7.2.3 Type III backing shall be a polypropylene film.7.2.4 Type IV backing shall be a woven cloth.7.2.5 Type V backing shall be a treated paper.7.3 AdhesiveThe adhesive shall be pressure-sensitivewater-insoluble and shall require no moisture heat or otherpreparation prior to o
29、r after application to clean, dry surfaces.The adhesive shall be coated in a smooth and evenly distrib-uted layer on one side of the backing.7.4 RollsThe tape shall be evenly wound in rolls, adhe-sive side in, on cores made of paper-fiber or plastic. The coreshall have sufficient rigidity to prevent
30、 distortion of the rollunder normal conditions of transportation and use. The insidediameter of the core shall be 7.6, 0, + 1.6 mm 3, 0, +116in. When the roll is unwound, the backing shall not tear, theadhesive shall not transfer nor split from the face of the tapebacking to the adjacent layer befor
31、e or after aging (see Table1).8. Physical Properties8.1 The tape shall comply with the physical property re-quirements listed in Table 2 and the water-solubility require-ment of Test Method D 5570.D 5486/D 5486M 0629.

32、or 72 mm 2 or 3 in.or other commercially available widths, as specified (see6.1.3).9.1.1 A width tolerance of 1.5 mm 6116 in. shall beallowed on all widths.NOTE 2Uses of pressure-sensitive tapes in closure and sealing appli-cations call for commonly available commercial widths. The widthscommon in t
33、he inch-pound system are not identical to the available SIreplacement widths. The most frequent width conversions are:Inch-Pound, in. SI, mm1241.5 3624837249NOTE 3The effect of this width difference on packaging performanceis not considered significant.79.2 Length:9.2.1 Types I, II, III, and IVThe l
