scope:

This specification relates to natural or black expanded polyethylene sheet of nominal density 145 kg/m3, for use in cushion packaging applications.

The designation 'Type GP' indicates the material is of a quality suitable for general application.

The designation 'Type QX' indicates that the material is of a quality suitable for certain applications where a high degree of compatibility with explosives is a requirement and the composition may, therefore, be restricted. However, compatibility with all explosives in all environments has not been established and Design Authorities should seek advice on particular applications from the Director, Royal Armaments Research and Development Establishment, Waltham Abbey, Essex EN9 1AX.

Attention is drawn to Def Stan 13-102.
