90° Peel Fixture 1 kN (225 lbf) for the Vantage Tensile Tester Series
Sample Type: Flexible adhesive material.
This fixture utilizes a sliding sample plate to maintain a 90° angle while measuring peel force. The adhesive sample is attached to the plate while the opposite end is secured by the upper grip.
Measures peel strength at 90° to a surface. The adhesive backed sample is wrapped around the wheel, and the end of the sample is folded back on itself to provide an adhesive free area which is clamped into a grip.
Samples can be tested in widths up to 50 mm (2 in).
Sample Type: Pressure sensitive adhesives, tapes, and labels.
Measures the tack (instant grip) of the specimen by lowering the looped material until it makes contact with a stainless steel plate and then measuring the force required to release the sample. The plate is attached with a tab that is placed in the lower grip.
