Designation:D3889/D3889M96(Reapproved 2020)Standard Test Method forAdherence to Linerboard of Pressure-Sensitive Tape at LowTemperature1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3889/D3889M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers one procedure for determiningthe adherence of pressure-sensitive tapes to a standard lin-erboard or other similar surface.1.2 This test method provides for an attribute response(passor fail)and does not yield numerical data on a variable orcontinuous scale.1.3 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are tobe regarded separately as standard.The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each systemmust be used independently without combining values in anyway.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D996 Terminology of Packaging and Distribution Environ-mentsD3715/D3715M Practice for Quality Assurance of Pressure-Sensitive TapesD4332 Practice for Conditioning Containers,Packages,orPackaging Components for TestingE122 Practice for Calculating Sample Size to Estimate,WithSpecified Precision,the Average for a Characteristic of aLot or Process3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsGeneral terms in this test method are de-fined in Terminology D996.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The pressure-sensitive tape to be tested is adhered to thestandard linerboard or other material of interest.Following adwell period at an elevated temperature,the specimen assem-bly is cooled to a specific temperature.After a specified time atthe low temperature the specimen assembly is flexed around asmall mandrel and observed for indications of bond failure.5.Significance and Use5.1 Satisfactory tape performance at the test temperatureimplies satisfactory cold-temperature performance at or abovethe test temperature.5.2 This procedure would be applicable for questions ofadherence to 100%kraft fiberboards similar to the standardlinerboard surface without substitution but for direct informa-tion on any board or surface,the actual surface in questionshould be substituted.6.Apparatus6.1 Standard Reference Material 1810A,3length approxi-mately 280 mm 11 in.,width approximately 13 mm 12in.wider than the specimen width.See Section 8.NOTE1When agreed upon between the parties involved or whencalled for by the material specification,other flexible material may besubstituted for the 1810 linerboard.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D10 onPackaging and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D10.14 on Tape andLabels.Current edition approved Oct.1,2020.Published October 2020.Originallyapproved in 1980.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as D3889/D3889M 96(2012).DOI:10.1520/D3889_D3889M-96R20.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Standard Reference Material 1810A is available from the U.S.GovernmentPrinting Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.6.2 Rubber-Covered Steel Roller,482.5 6 1.3 mm 3.25 60.1 in.in diameter and 44.5 6 1.3 mm 1.75 6 0.05 in.wide,covered with rubber approximately 6 mm 0.25 in.thickhaving a Shore A durometer hardness of 80 6 5.The surfaceof the rubber shall form a true cylinder devoid of any convexor concave deviations.The mass of the roller shall be 2040 645 g 4.5 6 0.1 lb.The mass of the handle shall not add to themass of the roller during use.6.3 Oven,air circulating,maintained at 66
