Peel Adhesion - Pressure Sensitive Tape 180-degree

There are three basic test methods used in determining the adhesive ability of pressure sensitive tape:

Method A gives a measure of adherence to a standard steel substrate or other type of surface. A strip of tape is applied to the surface using a controlled load. The tape is peeled from the substrate at a specified rate of speed, during which time the load required to effect peeling is measured.

Method B gives a measure of adherence using double-back tape. It follows the same general procedure as Method A.

Method C gives a measure of adherence on the release liner of single or double-back tape having a release liner.

Industry standards for determining peel adherence are:
- ASTM D-3330
