ASTM D5330/D5330M-06
(Specification)Standard Specification for Pressure-Sensitive Tape for Packaging, Filament-Reinforced
Standard Specification for Pressure-Sensitive Tape for Packaging, Filament-Reinforced
ABSTRACT
This specification covers filament-reinforced, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape for packaging and includes the following types: Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV. The tapes covered by this specification are intended for use in closing and reinforcing fiberboard boxes and for bundling items for shipment. The materials used in the construction of the tapes shall be such that they ensure performance of the tape over the prescribed temperature range. The material and manufacture requirements for backing, adhesive, reinforcements, and rolls are specified. The tape shall comply with the physical property requirements such as (1) adhesion before and after aging, (1) adhesion at low temperature, (3) elongation, (4) shear adhesion, (5) break strength, and (6) thickness. Additional physical requirements are specified for Type IV tape. The tape shall meet the prescribed dimension (including the roll width, roll length, and splice overlap), color, and transparency requirements. The sampling method for end-item examination and end-item testing are given. Accelerated aging (heat and humidity), adhesion, break strength and elongation, thickness, and weathering (for Type IV only) tests shall be performed. Environmental considerations such as toxic content are also specified.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers filament-reinforced, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.
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 of the other, without combining values in any way.
The following precautionary 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.
