Easily perform T-peel test on Adhesive with Presto peel tester

Gaurav Malhotra

The T-peel test or T-peel adhesion test is a widely used quality test that can be used to evaluate the bond strength between two adhered surfaces. By quantifying the peel ability of different packaging materials, one can easily ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers. Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a peel/seal/bond adhesion tester that is used to quantify the permanence of adhesion or peel ability of self-adhesive pressure-sensitive materials. This quality testing equipment has been designed to test the material under specified test conditions from the plate at a specified angle and speed.

This testing equipment has been designed as per ASTM standards that will deliver highly accurate lab testing results. In this blog, we will discuss brief information about the T-peel test and how you can easily perform this quality test with the help of this quality testing equipment.

Introduction to T-peel test

The T-peel test is a commonly used mechanical test to evaluate the adhesion strength of bonded materials, particularly in applications like flexible packaging, adhesive tapes, and laminated films. This test measures the force required to separate two layers of a material that have been bonded together at their edges in a T-shaped configuration. It provides insights into the adhesive bond's strength, cohesion, and integrity of the material.

To perform a T-peel test on the material, manufacturers can easily make the use of right laboratory testing equipment known as the Presto peel strength tester.

This is one of the high-quality laboratory testing equipment that is strictly manufactured with ASTM standards and is highly recommended for use in the plastic packaging industry. Now, let us discuss brief information about this quality testing equipment.

Now, let us discuss how you can easily conduct a peel strength test on the materials.

How to conduct a peel strength test on the materials?

If you want to conduct a peel strength test on adhesives then you should follow the steps mentioned below.

When initiating the test using this laboratory equipment, begin by preparing the specimen. Once the specimen is ready for the peel test, proceed to operate the machine.
To operate the equipment, connect it to a 5-amp, 220-volt AC power source and turn the machine ON.
Following this, insert the upper part of the specimen between the fixed upper grips and securely tighten the grip.
Subsequently, raise the lower movable grip to accommodate the specimen comfortably within the grips, ensuring a minimum distance of 25 mm with the lower limit switch ring.
Next, position the lower end of the specimen between the lower grips and firmly secure the grip, ensuring the specimen is centred within the grips.
With the specimen accurately positioned for the peel test, you are ready to initiate the testing process.

In this way, you can easily operate the Presto peel strength tester and can easily commence the test.
