ASTM D5486/D5486M-04
(Specification)Standard Specification for Pressure-Sensitive Tape for Packaging, Box Closure, and Sealing
Standard Specification for Pressure-Sensitive Tape for Packaging, Box Closure, and Sealing
SCOPE
1.1 This 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 to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently, without combining values in any way.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 14, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
