The peel adhesion test is used to determine the force required to de-bond two components joined by an adhesive. The test result, also known as bond strength, is generally represented as N (force to de-bond) / 25mm or 50mm (depending on specimen width).

The peel adhesion test can be used for:

Applications: Adhesives are widely used in various industries including textiles, fabrics, labels, laminates and composites. Peel adhesion testing is applicable to almost all components which are bonded together using adhesives.

90° peel test

In 90 degree peel test, a constant 90° angle is maintained whilst the two glued components are peeled apart. The average load required to separate the two, over the length of the specimen is recorded and expressed as N/25mm. Other methods of expressing test results include average peak/trough loads and customer defined calculations.

180° peel test

In 180-degree peel test, a constant 180° angle is maintained whilst the two glued components are peeled apart. The average load required to separate the two, over the length of the specimen is recorded and expressed as N/25mm. Other methods of expressing test results include average peak/trough loads and customer-defined calculations.
