Self adhesive tapes - Determination of peel adhesion properties EN 1939:2003

Publication date:   Dec 22, 2003

Scope

This European Standard specifies a series of methods for the determination of peel adhesion properties of self adhesives tapes.
Annexes A and B specify further variations in the testing protocol according to specific conditions.
This European Standard contains:
- Method 1: Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from stainless steel at an angle of 180° ;
- Method 2: Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from its own backing at an angle of 180° ;
- Method 3: Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion of double sided and transfer tapes at an angle 180° ;
- Method 4: Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of adhesion of the liner to an adhesive tape at an angle of 180°.
Together with
- Annex A Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from a surface at low temperature ;
- Annex B Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from a surface at an angle of 90°.
A guide to the use of these methods and annexes is given in Table 1.
