Designation:D2860/D2860M04(Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forAdhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tape to Fiberboard at 90Angle and Constant Stress1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2860/D2860M;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 the determination of the prop-erty of adhesion of pressure-sensitive tape to a fiber-boardsurface.The user of this test method has the option of choosingthe paper surface for the test.The test surface may be thestandard linerboard,another linerboard(or paper)of individualinterest,or a specific fiberboard.1.2 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are tobe regarded separately as standard.The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents;therefore,each system mustbe used independently,without combining values in any way.1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D996 Terminology of Packaging and Distribution Environ-mentsD2904 Practice for Interlaboratory Testing of a Textile TestMethod that Produces Normally Distributed Data(With-drawn 2008)3D2906 Practice for Statements on Precision and Bias forTextiles(Withdrawn 2008)3D4332 Practice for Conditioning Containers,Packages,orPackaging Components for Testing3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsTerminology found in Terminology D996shall apply.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 Procedure AThe pressure-sensitive tape is mounted ona rigid panel.The adhesive side is exposed.A strip oflinerboard,which represents the fiberboard,is placed againstthe tape adhesive with controlled pressure.The area of contactis specified.The panel is mounted in a horizontal position.Aspecified mass is fastened to one end of the linerboard.Themass acts to peel the linerboard away from the adhesive at anangle of 90.The time required to peel the linerboard from thetape is measured.4.2 Procedure BIn this procedure,the fiberboard or thelinerboard representing it is adhered to a rigid panel and thetape peeled from it.In all other respects,the procedure is thesame as Procedure A.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to show the adhesion of apressure-sensitive tape to fiberboard when the tape is under aconstant stress.Test data from this test method for some typesof packaging tape relates to tape performance on fiberboardbox closure.5.2 ProcedureAshould be used when comparing tapes to anestablished requirement.The requirement may be establishedusing either the standard linerboard or another linerboardrepresenting a specific fiberboard.5.3 Procedure B should be used to rank tapes as to theirability to adhere to fiberboard.6.Apparatus and Materials6.1 Tape,pressure-sensitive,double-coated,48-mm 2-in.width.The tape shall exhibit sufficient adhesion to the paneland test specimen or fiberboard to avoid the failures cited in10.1.9 and 10.2.14.6.2 PanelAny steel piece at least 50 by 125 mm 2 by 5in.and no less than 1.1 mm 0.043 in.thick,having one face1This 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 April 1,2010.Published May 2010.Originallyapproved in 1970.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D2860/D2860M 04.DOI:10.1520/D2860_D2860M-04R10.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1(2 by 5 in.)that does not deviate from a plane by more than0.050 mm 0.002 in.6.3 Stop Watch.6.4 Razor Blade,single-edge.6.5 MaskAny paper no more than 0.050 mm 0.002 in.thick formed to a rectangle approximately 125 by 60 mm 5 by2.5 in.with a rectangular hole exactly 24 6 0.25 1.0 6 0.01by 32 mm 1.25 in.centered in the piece.The 24-mm 1-in.hole dimension shall be in the 125-mm 5-in.direction(seeFig.1 and Fig.2).6.6 Cutter,for preparing fiberboard or linerboard and tapespecimens.6.7 Paperboard Piece,approximately 25 by 25 mm 1 by 1in.,for reinforcement.6.8 Paper Punch,single-hole.6.9 Fiberboard or Linerboard Surface,4against which thetest is made.6.9.1 For Procedure A,cut a rectangle exactly 24 6 0.25mm 1.0 6
