scope:
This Standard defines clear and dyed shellac lacquers.
The brushing type is used for sealing and colour marking the cap annulus on small arms ammunition, power cartridges etc.
The dipping type is used for the colour marking of coil springs (eg for base fuzes).
The designation 'Type QX' indicates that the material is of a quality suitable for application where a high degree of compatibility with explosives is a requirement. However, its compatibility with all explosives in all environments has not been established and Design Authorities should seek advice on particular applications from the Director, Royal Armamerit Research and Development Establishment, Waltham Abbey, Essex.
