APPLICATION SPOTLIGHT - ASTM D3330 Peel Adhesion of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives, Tapes and Labels.
Adhesive properties for pressure sensitive labels, packages, and tapes are measured using a standard test surface, a specified angle and test speed. Test results monitor uniformity of adhesive coatings, bonding adhesion strength and force to remove face stock. Sample failures reveal the weak link of a product or process. Cohesive failure produce a tacky residue on both surfaces, adhesive failure reveals a premature peel, failure along the adhesive face stock and test surface, and substrate tearing.

| TestResources offers testing products including test machines and fixtures matched to ASTM D3330, which is used for quality assurance tests on pressure-sensitive tapes, and provides a means of assessing uniformity of the adhesion of a given type of tape. The assessment may be within a roll of tape, between rolls, or between production lots. ASTM D3330 Method F addresses the 90 degree peel test and measures adherence to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest for a single-coated tape. D3330 replaces several prior industry standards including, AFERA 4001 Self adhesive tapes – Measurement of peel adhesion, European Norm: EN 1939 Self adhesive tapes – Measures peel adhesion from stainless steel or from its own backing, and Pressure Sensitive Tape Council Standards: PSTC-2 Peel Adhesion for Single Coated Tapes at 90° Angle. |

| The most common method is to measure adherence by peeling a sample at a 180° angle from a standard steel panel or a specific surface of interest. Fixtures and test machines are available to serve all these needs. |
