What is a peel strength Tester and what is it used for?

Adhesives play an important role in the packaging industry that cannot be overstated. Adhesives can provide a strong bond between two materials, which helps keep packaging secure. They also help protect your packaging from moisture and other environmental elements. But what if those adhesives could be easily peeled off? This will result high product reject rates. Therefore, it is very important for manufacturers in the packaging industry to test the peel strength of their packaging.

Adhesives are an essential part of packaging. They help keep products safe and can be used to seal packages or apply labels. Adhesives also seal out moisture and other contaminants , protecting the contents of the package. Since adhesives are available in a variety of formulations, adhesives can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any packaging application. Testing the peel/seal/bond strength of adhesives is an essential part of the quality control process.

Adhesion and bond strength Tester. This is one of the irreversible high-quality laboratory testing devices that can be used to quantify the adhesion or peel ability of self-adhesive materials.

Adhesives are widely used in packaging due to their ability to form strong bonds between surfaces. This makes them ideal for holding dissimilar materials such as paper and cardboard together. To perform a peel strength test on a material, a test specimen can be prepared first.

Once the specimen is accurately prepared, you can place the upper and lower grips on the specimen and tighten securely. Move the lower movable grip up so that the specimen can easily reach the grips . It is necessary to ensure that the distance between the lower limit switch and the specimen is at least 25mm. Place the lower end of the specimen in the lower grip, and tighten the grip securely. Make sure to place the specimen in the center of the grip. Once these steps are executed accurately, you can easily start testing.
