Adhesive Testing Attachments

Spherical Probe Adhesion Test
A 1" spherical probe is often used
to assess adhesive characteristics
such as ‘tack’, adhesive cohesion
and work of adhesion.

Loop Tape Test System
Provides a means of assessing
‘Quick Stick’ according to FINAT
Method 9.

Adhesive Testing Attachments

Multiple Indexing Plate
Allows ten adhesive measurements
to be performed and is quickly
indexable and centrally aligned to
the next test region for sample
setting determination.

90° Peel Rig
Allows 90 degree peel testing
via a sliding platform.

Rotary Adhesive
Indexing System
Allows indexing within a
thermal cabinet.

Adhesive Testing Attachments

Universal Peel Strength Rig
Allows measurement of the peel
strength of containers up to
95mm diameter and 120mm
height at three angles.

Peel Strength Rig
(180 degree peel action)
Peel action measurement
for adhesive bandages,
adhesive tapes.

Large Peel Strength Rig
Adjustable peel action measurement
for e.g. yoghurt, ready meal
packaging. It accommodates pots
up to 120mm diameter.

Adhesive Testing Attachments

Tape Unwinding Rig
For the measurement of unwind
adhesion – a quantitative measure
of the degree of ease or difficulty
in unwinding a roll of tape.

Flexible Substrate Clamp
This device offers easier sample
mounting and securing for the
measurement of the adhesion of
a flexible substrate material
when withdrawn from a sample.

Peltier Plate/Cabinet
Adhesives can be tested
at constant temperature,
providing more accurate
measurement.
