A superscript epsilon () 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
3、 specification 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 ind
4、ependently, without 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 use
5、rof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 General definitions for packaging and distributionenvironments are found in Terminology D996.4. Significance and Use4.1 Type I is a polyester film-backed pressure-sensitive tapeintended for box clos
17、ure and sealing applications wherestrength and resistance to sunlight, rain, and other deterioratingelements are required. It is usually used on weather-resistantfiberboard (Class WR or WWVR of Specification D4727/D4727M). The tape is intended for H-type closure or sealing ofregular slotted boxes (C
18、losure Method 2B3 and 2B4 of PracticeD1974), and other applications where the tape will be over-lapped onto itself. Type I, Class 2 transparent tape can also beused for label attachment and covering applications whereweather resistance is needed.4.2 Type II is a polyester film-backed pressure-sensit
19、ivetape intended for box closure applications where strength andwater-resistance are required. It is usually used on domesticgrade fiberboard (Class D of Specification D4727/D4727M).The tape is most suited for center seam closure of regular orregular slatted boxes (Closure Method 2B4 of Practice D19
20、74)and other applications where the tape will not be overlappedonto 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 wher
21、e ageneral purpose water-resistant tape is desired. It is used ondomestic grade fiberboard (Class D of Specification D4727/D4727M). The tape is suited for center seam closure of regularslotted boxes (Closure Method 2B4 of Practice D1974).4.4 Type IV is a woven cloth-backed pressure-sensitive tapefor
22、 less critical packaging applications where a cloth-backedtape 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
23、domesticfiberboard (Classes WR, WWVR, and D of SpecificationD4727/D4727M). The tape is suited for center seam andH-type closures or sealing of regular slotted boxes (ClosureMethods 2B3, 2B4, and 2B7 of Practice D1974) and otherapplications where it may be overlapped onto itself.5.
