- ASTM-D3330 – Standard Test Method for Peel Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tape
These test methods cover the measurement of the peel adhesion of pressure-sensitive tapes.
Test Method A gives a measure of the adherence, when peeled at 180° angle, to a standard steel panel or to other surface of interest for a single-coated tape.
Test Method B gives a measure of the adherence to the backing of a single-coated tape.
Test Method C gives a measure of the adherence of double-coated tape to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest.
Test Method D gives a measure of the adherence of the release liner to the adhesive of either single- or double-coated tape.
Test Method E gives a measure of the adherence of an adhesive transfer tape to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest.
Test Method F gives a measure of the adherence, when peeled at 90° angle, to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest for a single-coated tape.
These -above- test methods are intended to replace AFERA 4001, EN 1939, PSTC-1, PSTC-2, PSTC-3 and PSTC-4.
