Fabric Adhesive Tape Holding Power Tester Shear Adhesion Strength For Double Sided Tape ASTM D3654 Holding Power Tester

Introduction

The LAT-01 Lasting Adhesiveness Tester is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to evaluate the shear adhesion strength for double sided tape and other pressure-sensitive adhesive products. Accurate and reliable, this tester is essential for laboratories in various industries, including packaging, food, medicine, and beverages, ensuring that adhesive products meet rigorous quality standards. By assessing shear adhesion strength, manufacturers can guarantee optimal performance in their applications.

Background

Shear adhesion strength for double sided tape, often referred to as holding power, shear resistance, or static shear adhesion, is a critical metric for evaluating adhesive performance. The test involves applying a strip of tape to a standard steel panel, which is then mounted vertically. A specified weight is attached to the free end of the tape, and the time taken for the adhesive to fail under this load is recorded. This measurement helps determine the durability and reliability of the adhesive under various conditions.

Application

The LAT-01 Lasting Adhesiveness Tester is specifically engineered for assessing the lasting adhesive and holding power of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, labels, and related products. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications across industries, providing accurate data essential for product development and quality assurance.

Standards

This tester adheres to established testing standards, including ASTM D3654 and PSTC-107, ensuring compliance and reliability in results. These standards provide a framework for measuring shear adhesion strength for double sided tape, allowing for consistent and comparable results across different testing environments.

Test Description

In the testing process, the adhesive specimen is vertically suspended on the LAT-01. The bottom of the specimen is attached to a standard weight, which creates a shear force on the tape. The lasting adhesive property is quantified either by measuring the displacement of the specimen on the vertical test plate or by recording the time to failure under load. This method ensures that the shear adhesion strength for double sided tape is evaluated under controlled and repeatable conditions.

Features

• High Precision Measurement: Equipped with a single chip timing mechanism and high accuracy proximity switch for reliable test results.
• Versatile Testing Options: Optional non-standard test plates and weights allow for customized testing conditions.
• Multiple Testing Stations: Available in configurations of 5, 10, 20, and 30 testing stations, accommodating various testing needs.
• User-Friendly Interface: Features an LCD display for easy reading of test parameters and results.
• Time Auto Locking: Automatic locking of time ensures accurate measurement without user intervention.
