NATURAL AGING OF PACKAGING BARRIER MATERIALS AT ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL,

Abstract

The effect of natural aging on the properties of selected barrier materials conforming to Military Specifications JAN-P-117, MIL-B-121 and MIL-B-131 has been determined. The materials tested have been in storage for intervals up to nine years at Rock Island Arsenal. The properties are compared with specification requirements and original properties. Certain properties of JAN-P-117, Type II and JAN-P-117, Type 1, Class C were seriously deteriorated within two years. MIL-B-121 and MIL-B- 131 materials were not appreciably affected by the storage. Physical properties and water resistance properties were generally not affected, material resistance to moisture vapor and grease were reduced and the seam construction was adversely affected by the long-term storage.
