FAQs

1. How is the test result recorded?
   After the test time concludes, weights are removed, and the amount of slippage or the time for the tape to separate completely from the panel is recorded using a magnifying glass with graduations.
2. How is the test sample prepared in the tape shear adhesion test?
   The specimen is centered parallel to the longitudinal axis of the two panels, attached to the central part of the panels. The roller is used to roll the specimen at a speed of approximately 300mm/min or 10mm/s, ensuring that only the force generated by the roller's mass is applied. The number of rolling cycles can be specified based on product requirements.
