Test methods

  • ELONGATION AT BREAK

    evaluation of the elongation of the carrieri of the tape when stretched till break.
    Test method: AFERA 4005

  • TENSILE STRENGTH

    evaluation of the load that causes the break of the carrier of the tape.

    Test method AFERA 4004

  • LOOP TACK (QUICK STICK)

    evaluation of the istantaneous adhesive capacity (tack) by measuring the strength necessary to remove the tape from a surface onto which has been applied without significative pressure.
    Testing method: PSTC 16

  • PEEL 180°

    evaluation of the linear adhesiveness by measuring the strength necessary to remove the tape from a surface.
    Testing method: PSTC 101

  • ROLLING BALL TACK

    evaluation of the istantaneous adhesive capacity (tack) by measuring the distance travelled by a ball on the surface of the tape.

    Testing method: PSTC 6

  • STATIC SHEAR

    evaluation of the adhesive cohesion by measuring the time necessary to the tape to slip away from a surface when charged with a a vertical weight.
    Testing method:  FTM 8 on steel
