Pressure sensitive adhesives are commonly used in films, labels, tapes and other related materials. According to ASTM D6195, it is very important to test the material for loop tack to ensure its quality.
Adhesion is a fundamental property of materials and is usually measured in terms of the force required to break the bond between two surfaces. Therefore, a peel adhesion Tester will help you study the adhesive properties of various self-adhesive materials. The instrument is designed to generate high forces which will be further used for testing and analysis purposes. The housing of the machine is suitably powder coated and fitted with a digital peak load indicator for digital readout of test results.
main feature
A loop tack test will be performed to measure the tack of the tape that has been looped. The Peel/Seal/Adhesion Adhesion Tester has adhesive testing capabilities and provides you with accurate test results of adhesive debonding from surfaces.
The main purpose of performing the loop tack test
Tack is considered a material property and is used to test how quickly a bond can form when it comes into contact with a surface with very light pressure. In the packaging industry, with the widespread use of adhesives, it is important for manufacturers to perform peel tests to test whether the adhesive material will be affected by external forces. The test will be done from different angles. So you can easily perform 180 degree peel test or 90 degree peel test to test material quality.
The viscosity of the material will depend on different factors related to the typical roughness of the surface as well as temperature and processing conditions. With this laboratory testing equipment, you will be able to test the stickiness and ensure that your products are relevant. Loop tack testing is intended for quality control and tests the ability of a pressure sensitive material to create a bond to a product.
