Classical Test Method T 698 "Determination of wetting tension of polyethylene and polypropylene films and coatings (modified visking analytical technique)" is now due for ten-year review. In the time since it was last reviewed, a number of members have left the Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG), so that now there are not enough members in that SSIG to meet the minimum requirement of 10.
The scope of the method is: This method measures the relative ease of printability/adhereability of polyolefin film or coated surfaces by measurement of the surface tension.
In order to keep this method active, we need to add more members to the SSIG. If you would like to join the SSIG and participate in the review of this Standard, please send a message to standards@tappi.org no later than July 9, 2012.
