Conduct thin film adhesion test with Presto adhesion tester

Gaurav Malhotra

Thin films are commonly used in the packaging industry because of their numerous advantages such as flexibility, durability, and transparency. Thin films are used as barriers to protect packaged products from external factors such as moisture, oxygen, and other contaminants that can cause spoilage or degradation of the product. Thus, testing these packaging films is an important part of the quality control process. Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a peel adhesion tester.

This is one of the high-quality lab testing instruments that is used to test the peel adhesion strength of different materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers. In this blog, we will discuss brief information about the Presto peel adhesion tester and how this quality lab testing instrument is useful in testing the adhesion strength of thin films. So, let us get started!

Why thin films should be tested against adhesion?

Thin films are lightweight, making them an ideal choice for packaging applications where weight is a critical factor. They also take up less space, which is important for storage and transportation. Testing the adhesion strength of thin coating films is an essential part of the quality control process.

Thin films are often used in applications where they are subjected to various environmental conditions, such as humidity, temperature changes, and mechanical stress. Testing the adhesion of thin films helps to ensure that they will perform as intended and will not peel, crack, or delaminate.

Thus, with the use of the Presto peel adhesion tester, one can easily ensure improved adhesion strength of the packaging material and ensure accuracy in test results.

This quality testing equipment can also test the adhesion strength of packaging labels, and make sure that these materials will perform as per the intended purpose. This ASTM D903 adhesion tester is relatively used to test the films against adhesion.

Now, let us discuss a brief about the Presto adhesion tester.

All about Presto peel/seal/bond adhesion tester

Adhesion testing is an essential part of quality control in manufacturing. It helps to identify potential issues with the film or substrate, such as contamination or improper preparation that could affect the adhesion of the film.

Thus, we at Presto are a leading peel/seal/bond adhesion tester manufacturer and design this quality lab testing instrument to test the peel ability of materials.

This quality lab testing instrument has been designed with different industry standards that include ASTM D903 which ensures accuracy in test results. It comes with a digital LED display with ± 2% at full load.

Besides this, it has strong gripping clamps to perform the Peel test at 180 degrees. Manufacturers can give their packaging strong adhesion strength with the help of this quality lab testing instrument.

Now, let us discuss a brief about its features and technical applications.
