Determine Loop Tack for Pressure-Sensitive Tapes with Peel Tester

When we talk about pressure-sensitive tapes, PSA tapes, and labels, then the first and foremost thing that comes to our mind is testing the peel adhesion strength of these materials. The strength of the bond between a substrate and the substance being peeled off will be measured in peel tests (known as the adhered). This feature is relevant in a wide range of applications where two (or more) materials are bonded together. Testing the tack strength of these materials also plays a major role in determining their quality. Thus, with Presto Peel / Seal / Bond and Adhesion Tester, it has been easy for you to conduct peel strength test and quantify the permanence of adhesion or peel ability of self-adhesive pressure-sensitive materials. Let’s focus on brief information about the loop tack test and how this lab testing instrument makes it easy for you to conduct this test.

What is the loop tack test?

Tack measurement for pressure-sensitive adhesives allows for the calculation of the adhesive's strength, or stickiness, which changes depending on the pressure used to make the bond. Manufacturers and end-users of pressure-sensitive adhesives undertake the loop tack test, which helps them to evaluate the adhesive strength of these materials with ease. Thus, with the help of a peel tester, it’s been easy for you to determine the adhesive strength of these materials.

This bond strength tester helps to evaluate the peel ability of adhesive materials & convey the most exact test outcomes. It creates high forces that are further used for various testing and analysis purposes. This peel bond tester produces enough forces for testing the adhesion strength and gives you accurate test results in the form of a digital readout. According to ASTM D6195, a loop tack test of the materials is required in order to ensure their quality.

Now, let us focus on the features and technical specifications of the peel strength tester. 

Features of Peel strength tester

The Presto Adherence Strength Tester is used to determine the durability of self-adhesive pressure-sensitive materials' adhesion or peel ability. This adhesive testing equipment will let you conduct the bond strength between two surfaces. Materials like adhesives, tape, sealants, laminates, electronics, cosmetics, medical device packaging, and general packaging materials can easily be tested with the help of this lab testing equipment. 

Below we have listed the features of the Presto peel strength tester.

• Microprocessor-based display for accurate test results
• Display for Peel Adhesive strength of test specimen
• Memory to hold up to 9 test reading

These are the features and technical specifications of this lab testing equipment. You can easily conduct the peel strength test in your quality control labs for testing adhesion curing, and adhesion behavior of several materials.

Presto peel tester will allow you to conduct a 180-degree peel test & a 90-degree peel test for pressure-sensitive materials. Now, let us discuss how Presto Peel / Seal / Bond and Adhesion Tester will make it easy for you to overcome the challenge of poor quality peel strength.

The Presto Peel Tester comes with fixtures that may be utilized in a variety of situations. It is used to determine the strength of the binding between the laminated coating and the substrate on which it is applied.

This lab testing machine has been made in accordance with industrial standards like ASTM D903 and can be considered to be one of the best adhesive label testing instruments. 

How does Presto peel tester help to overcome the challenge of poor adhesive strength?

The forces that attract one material to another are known as adhesive forces. Tape requires adhesive forces to adhere to other items, but it also requires strong cohesive forces to stay together and not disintegrate while on the other object. Presto peel/seal/ bond adhesion strength tester helps you to evaluate the adhesion strength of materials with ease. The Presto Adhesion Strength Tester has been built on a rigid metallic base plate and finished in Autumn Gray & Blue combination painting.

Once you conduct the peel test of the materials with the help of this lab testing instrument then you can easily measure the bond between substrate and material that is being peeled off.
