scope:

This standard specifies requirements for two grades of tape, pressure-sensitive adhesive, type QX (water-resistant, aluminium foil): Grade 1 with a nominal thickness of 40 pm and Grade 2 with a nominal thickness of 75 pm.

The designation "Type QX" indicates that the material may be suitable for certain applications where compatibility with explosives is a requirement. However, compatibility with all explosives in all environments has not been established and Design Authorities should seek advice on particular applications. Further information may be obtained from Defence Standard 13-102; Testing of Materials which are Required to be Compatible with Explosives.
