Various medical and adhesive manufacturers follow ASTM and ISO testing standards before bringing surgical tape to market. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape goes through a rigorous [...]
Pressure sensitive tape is used in a variety of products and applications including: electrical tape, douple sided tape, masking tape, duct tape, packaging, bandages, medical devices, and much more. ASTM D3330 describes six methods used to test the ad...
ASTM F2256 describes in detail how to prepare and test tissue adhesives. This standard describes the methods used to compare and characterize different types of adhesives and for manufacturing quality control of the tissue adhesive based medical d...
This video shows a 90 degree adhesive peel strength test on an ADMET eXpert 7601 universal testing machine (tensile testing machine). We fit the eXpert 7601 with our 90 degree peel strength fixture and one vise grip on the top crosshead to h...
Peel strength, the average force required to separate two bonded materials from one another, is a property applicable to various industries including aerospace, automotive, adhesives, [...]
Peel tests are often used in packaging applications to determine the bond strength of freshness seals commonly found in food and medical packaging. We performed a 90 degree peel test to determine the force required to peel the freshness seal from a can...
ASTM D903 is one of the most commonly performed adhesive strength tests. An adhesive is bonded to a material and peeled back at 180 degree angle to measure average peel strength. This post is intended to help you understand the basic test procedure and...
