Evaluating the Physical Properties of PSA Tapes

摘要

I am Boine Johnson, President of Texture Technologies Corp of Scarsdale, NY and I will be discussing today some of the newer ways to measure various physical properties of PSA tapes. Traditionally 90 degree and 180 degree peel tests and/or tack measurements with a Polyken tact tester have been the second-generation tests following the original rolling ball test methods. Later in this presentation we will show some improvements in the peel tests, but the main thrust will be in the adhesive test methods utilizing the TA.XT2i from Stable Micro Systems of Godalming, Surrey in the UK.
