Measurement methods
- PEEL 180°
determination of the linear adhesiveness by measuring the force required to remove the tape from a surface
Measurement method: PSTC 101 - STATIC SHEAR
determination of the adhesive cohesion by measuring the time taken from the tape, to slip from a surface when subjected to vertical load
Measurement method: FTM 8 on steel - ROLLING BALL TACK
determination of the immediate adhesiveness of the adhesive (tack) by measuring the distance traveled by a ball on the tape’s surface
Measurement method: PSTC 6 - LOOP TACK (QUICK STICK)
determination of the immediate adhesiveness of the adhesive (tack) by measuring the force required to detachment the tape from a surface on which it was applied, without significant pressure
Measurement method: PSTC 16 - BREAKING
determination of the force to be applied for breaking the tape
Measurement method: AFERA 4004 - ELONGATION AT BREAK
determination of the maximum elongation of the tape’s backing when subjected to a load that causes break
Measurement method: AFERA 4005
