Apply these 4 easy steps to prepare the specimen for the peel tester

Adhesives, laminates, and other related materials play an important role in the packaging industry. They are used to make sure that the products are securely sealed and protected from damage during transit. Adhesives help to keep the products safe from damage, while laminates protect them from scratches and other damage.

These materials are also used to improve the appearance of the packaging, making it more attractive to customers. In addition, they can also help to increase the shelf life of the product by preventing oxygen and light from entering the packaging. As a result, adhesives, laminates, and other related materials are essential for ensuring that the products you deliver to your customers are of the highest quality. Testing the peel ability of adhesives is an important part of quality inspection for the packaging materials. Thus, we at Presto have come up with one of the amazing lab testing equipment known as the peel strength tester

The peel strength tester is designed to measure the peel, tear, and other frictional properties of laminates, adhesives, coating, labels, tapes, and other related products. This lab testing instrument is helpful in optimizing the performance of a variety of packaging materials. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you the information about how you can easily prepare the specimen for conducting a peel strength test. We will also discuss the information about how you can prepare the testing specimen for conducting a peel strength test. But, before that, let us brief information about the peel strength tester and what purpose it will be used with the use of this testing instrument.

What is a peel strength tester and for what purpose it will be used?

The peel strength tester is a highly reliable and accurate testing machine that is used to determine the adhesive strength of materials such as self-adhesive tape, double-sided tapes, and so forth. This testing instrument will work by applying a force to the material in order to peel it away from the substrate.

This loop tack tester will then calculate the force required to peel the material away from the substrate, which provides an accurate measure of the adhesive strength of the material. The peel strength tester is essential testing equipment for quality control in the manufacturing of self-adhesive tapes and other similar products.

For what purpose you can use a peel strength tester?

The peel strength tester is a device that is used to measure the adhesive strength of a material. It is mainly used in industries and industrial laboratories for the purpose of studying the adhesion properties of various self-adhesive materials. This lab testing instrument will work by measuring the force required to peel a material off of a substrate. This testing info can be used to determine the suitability of a material for an intended application.

For example, if a material is too weakly adhesive, it may not be suitable for use as an industrial sealant. Conversely, if a material is too strongly adhesive, it may be difficult to remove and may cause damage to the substrates being bonded. A peel strength tester is an essential tool for characterizing the adhesive properties of materials. Thus, you can easily ensure the quality of packaging products with a peel-strength tester. Now, let us focus on its features and technical specifications.

Let us focus on how you can easily prepare specimens using the Presto peel strength tester.

Steps to prepare the specimen for peel strength test

If you want to conduct a peel strength test of laminates, packaging, or other related materials, then you should prepare the specimen first. Thus, we have listed the steps mentioned below.

  • Take a strip of self-adhesive tape that is 150 mm long and 15 mm wide. Prepare the specimen as per the template provided with the machine.
  • Now dip one end of the strip into a toluene solution up to 25 mm. This will delaminate that area of the strip.
  • Now peel off the part of the strip that was dipped in toluene solution.
  • Now you will have two ends of the strip that need to be placed in between the grips for testing. Your test specimen for the Peel adhesion test is ready.

With these steps, you can easily prepare the specimen using a peel strength test. To get a FREE sample testing specimen, you can give us a call at +91-9210903903 or email us at info@prestogroup.com. Our team of technical experts will consult you regarding all your queries.
