How to Operate a Rolling Ball Tack Tester Efficiently?

In the packaging industry, the use of pressure-sensitive tapes is very common. From commercial to domestic and industrial purposes, these tapes will offer you high quality in adhesion as per requirement. Thus, you can evaluate the adhesive strength of these pressure-sensitive tapes with the help of a rolling ball tack tester from Presto. This is very easy to operate testing equipment and has been designed in the compilation of various industrial standards. Here we are going to discuss brief information about rolling ball tack testers and how you can easily perform the test with some simple steps.

What is a rolling ball tack tester?

The rolling ball tack tester from Presto Testing Instruments is one of the best-selling and easy-to-use testing equipment that lets you test the tack of adhesives. This testing instrument will quantify the ability of an adhesive to quickly adhere to another surface. The instrument is designed based on the balling method, and the primary adhesive property of adhesive tapes could be obtained by observing the adhesive effect that occurred immediately after the rolling ball and adhesive specimen come into contact. It works on a simple working principle where the steel ball is allowed to roll down from a specific starting point on the grooved path inclined at a specific angle to the base of the test platform. The rolling ball attains maximum velocity at touch down and rolls above the tacky surface which retards its motion by virtue of resistance offered by the adhesive.

This testing equipment has been embedded with several amazing features and appropriate technical specifications.
