How to Conduct Peel Test with Presto Peel Tester

Adhesives play a very important role in the packaging industry, especially where there is a vast use of corrugated boxes, plastic boxes, etc. Thus, it is essential to conduct the peel test for these adhesive materials so as to avoid the fear of product damage during transportation and shipping. Thus, if you are working in the packaging industry, then Presto peel strength tester will serve best for you. This amazing lab testing equipment will help you to quantify the permanence of adhesion or peel for self-adhesive pressure-sensitive materials.

The peel strength tester is mainly used in industries and industrial laboratories for the purpose of studying the adhesion properties of various self-adhesive materials. The instrument is meant for creating high forces that are further used for various testing and analysis.

Now, let us focus on how this lab testing equipment will provide many benefits in the eCommerce industry.

How does peel strength tester benefits the eCommerce industry?

Packaging items like adhesives, packaging tapes, etc. are widely used in the eCommerce industry. Thus, every manufacturer wishes to deliver their products without any damage to your customers. Those adhesives that have low peeling strength will lead to product damage and cause rejections. Thus, it is very important for you to test the peel/seal and bond strength of these materials to reduce any product damage.

With the use of a Presto peel/seal/ bond strength tester, you will be able to test the peel ability of materials with ease. This testing equipment has been designed as per industry standards and is highly recommended for use in the packaging industry. The two main factors that contribute to the quality of packaging are strength and integrity. Presto peel/seal bond strength tester will let you study the adhesion properties of the materials. You can easily read about how a peel-strength tester can easily change the face of the flex pack.

Steps to operate Presto peel strength tester

Whenever you conduct the test, with the help of this lab testing equipment, then you can prepare the specimen first. After preparing the specimen for the peel test, you need to start the machine.

• To operate it, you need to start the machine by plugging the machine into a 5 amp, 220 Volts AC. After that, turn the machine ON.
• After that, place the upper side of the specimen between the upper fixed grips and tighten the grip firmly. Now bring the lower movable grip upwards so that the specimen can easily reach the grips. Ensure that the lower limit switch ring is placed at a position that keeps a minimum distance of 25 mm.
• Now place the lower end of the specimen between the lower grips and tighten the grip firmly. Make sure that the specimen is placed in the center of the grips.
• Once you place the specimen accurately for the peel test, then you will be able to commence the test.

In this way, you can easily operate this lab testing equipment.
