The ASTM D3330/D3330M-04 (2018) standard specifies standard test methods for the disbonding adhesion force of pressure sensitive tapes and is intended to serve as a tool for mass assurance. This standard includes six test methods, each applicable to different types of pressure sensitive tapes and their measurement of adhesion to various surfaces. Test data can be used in conjunction with acceptance criteria to ensure that the tapes meet the expected performance in their application. However, these test methods are not intended to be used to directly compare the forced adhesion of the same type of tapes produced by different manufacturers, as properties such as backing stiffness and rheology of gluing agents can affect test results. In addition, this standard also emphasizes the importance of safety and health practices, recommending that users carry out appropriate regulatory and restrictive assessments before use.
