How does the peel strength Tester work?

Adhesives also play a key role in ensuring the packaging is easy to open after shipping. They are widely used in different packaging materials including labels, stickers and many more. Adhesives with low peel strength will not be able to make a strong bond to the substrate. Therefore, it is important for packaging manufacturers to perform peel strength tests on these materials.

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

Peel adhesion is considered an important property of packaging materials that directly affects its quality. Materials such as pressure-sensitive tapes, labels, and other packaging materials can be tested for their peel ability to deliver the exact product to customers. The peel strength Tester is used to test the peel strength of different packaging materials including self-adhesive tape, double-sided tape, etc. It can generate enough force to measure the adhesive strength of the test sample precisely and accurately.

Purpose of using peel strength Tester in packaging industry

Peel strength Testers play an important role in determining the durability of adhesives and allow manufacturers to decide whether the adhesive can be used in packaging materials. When a product is transported or transported from one place to another, it will be subjected to various peeling forces, which may compromise the integrity of the product. This is where the Presto Peel/Seal Tester comes in .

By using a peel strength Tester, packaging manufacturers can easily ensure the peel ability and performance of the adhesive during shipping or transportation, can easily test the bond strength between the substrate and the surface, and determine the durability of the adhesive.

How does a peel strength Tester work?

• Before performing the peel strength test, please prepare the test sample and start the machine.

• Place the specimen between the upper and lower grips, and tighten the grips firmly.

• Move the lower movable grip up so that the specimen can easily reach the grips.

• You need to make sure you place the lower limit switch ring at a minimum distance of 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.

In this way, manufacturers in the packaging industry can easily perform peel strength tests on their materials. Users can easily perform T-peel, 90-degree peel, and 180-degree peel to ensure that accurate products are delivered to customers.
