Probe Tack Tester
SKU : PT-2000
The Polyken™ Probe Tack from ChemInstruments makes it easy to measure the tack of pressure sensitive adhesives. A precision ground 5.0 mm diameter flat probe contacts the adhesive, reverses direction and pulls away from the adhesive. The maximum force required to break the adhesive bond is recorded and displayed. The Polyken™ Probe Tack adhesive testing machine meets the standards set forth in ASTM D2979. Machine speed is 24 ipm (61 cm/m), probe diameter is 5 mm and it has an annular ring which applies the standard pressure of 9.79 +/-0.10 kPa. An automatic test cycle produces a 1 second dwell time from the beginning of contact to the end of contact.
