MIL-DTL-43719D
6.1.1 Type I. The pressure sensitive adhesive of type I material is of the aggressive tack type.
Accordingly, under some circumstances, type I material markers are subject to premature contact and
attendant difficulties. These difficulties may be countered or avoided by various devices, such as appropriate
scoring of the liner, technique of placement, wet method of application (dilute detergent), and other methods
that may be furnished by contractors to assist proper positioning of markers of all sizes.
6.1.2 Type II. The type II material has been included in this specification for use primarily in large,
difficult-to-apply markers when desired. Its pressure sensitive adhesive is of a type which confers a degree of
positionability of the marker during application and prior to final attachment, and is desired by some users
under certain conditions, particularly for markers like stars, crosses, letters, 16 inches or larger in size. Users
should take note of the fact that the adhesion of type II material is significantly less than that of type I, and that
use of this type will involve a trade off of adhesion for positionability. It is expected that selection of the desired
type will be governed by the user's experience and consideration of various factors; e.g., size and shape or
configuration of marker, temperature during application, lesser adhesion of type II, difference in cost, and skill
of applicator.
6.1.3 Type III. The type III material is intended for mounting on metal or wood bases by a heat-
vacuum process; e.g., as in manufacture of signs and markers.
6.1.4 Translucent transfer sheet. In addition to their use in transferring legends and prespaced
letters, translucent transfer sheets are incorporated in some markers to make use of other capabilities such as
stiffening the markers for handling, masking markers from subsequent painting, and protection marker surfaces
from dirt and foreign matter, as may be required (see 6.2).
6.2
Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of this specification and specification sheet (when applicable).
b.
Type and class required (see 1.2).
c.
When a first article is required (see 3.1, 4.3, and 6.3).
d.
If translucent transfer sheet is required (see 3.2.2 and 6.1.4).
e.
Color required (see 3.3).
f.
Form and size (see 3.5.1 for marking materials in rolls and sheets and 3.5.2 for markers).
g.
When procurement of marking materials for the M 113/A1/A2 Armored Personnel Carrier
is required (see 3.5.2.1).
h.
Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 First article. When a first article is required, it will be inspected and approved under the appropriate
provisions of FAR 52.209-4. The first article should be a preproduction sample. The contracting officer should
specify the appropriate type of first article and the number of units to be furnished. The contracting officer
should include specific instruction in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for selection, inspection,
and approval of the first article.
6.4 Shelf-life. This specification covers items where the assignment of a Federal shelf-life code is a
consideration. Specific shelf-life requirements should be specified in the contract or purchase order, and
should include, as a minimum, shelf-life code, shelf-life package markings in accordance with MIL-STD-129 or
FED-STD-123, preparation of a materiel quality storage standard for type II (extendible) shelf-life items, and a
minimum of 85 percent shelf-life remaining at time of receipt by the Government. These and other
requirements, if necessary, are in DoD 4140.27-M, Shelf-life Management Manual. The shelf-life codes are in
the Federal Logistics Information System Total Item Record. Additive information for shelf-life management
may be obtained from 4140.27-M, or the designated shelf-life Point of Contact (POC). The POC should be
contacted in the following order: (1) the Inventory Control Points that manage the item and (2) the DoD
Services and Agency administrators for the DoD Shelf-Life Program. Appropriate POCs for the DoD Shelf-Life
Program can be contacted through the DoD Shelf-Life Management website: https://www.shelflife.hg.dla.mil/.
