1、Designation: D6252/D6252M 98 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Test Method forPeel Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Label Stocks at a 90Angle1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6252/D6252M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the cas
2、e of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the peeladhesion of pressure-sensitive label sto
3、cks. This test methodgives a measure of the adherence to a standard steel substrateor to other surfaces of interest for a pressure-sensitive labelstock.1.2 This test method provides a means of assessing theuniformity of the adhesion of a given type of pressure-sensitivelabel stock. The assessment ma
4、y be within a sheet or roll,between sheets or rolls, or between production lots.1.3 Variations in the label stock facestock and adhesive canaffect the response; therefore, this test method cannot be usedto pinpoint the specific cause(s) of nonuniformity.1.4 This test method may not be appropriate to
5、 test labelstocks having either stiff backings or backings showing a highstretch at low forces. These characteristics could result in ahigh variability of the test response, which is not a trueindication of the real nature of the adhesive bond.1.5 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units a
6、re tobe regarded separately as the standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem must be used independently, without combining valuesin any way.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It
7、 is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A strip of label stock is applied to a standard test panel,or other surface of interest, with controlled pressure. The labelstock is peeled from the panel at 90 angle at a specified rate,during which
11、 time the force required to effect peeling ismeasured.NOTE 1The pressure-sensitive adhesive (psa) is permanently tackyand instantly adheres to the surface for which the label stock is designed.A psa label stock also can be defined as a self-adhering label stock.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test m
12、ethod is a tool for quality assurance use.Given a pressure-sensitive label stock and a requirement interms of the minimum or maximum peel adhesion valueexpected for this label stock, the data from the test can be usedin conjunction with acceptance criteria.5.2 This test method can show the relative
13、bond strength ofa given label stock to one or more surfaces of varied materialand texture as compared to the standard stainless steel panel.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D10 onPackaging and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D10.14 on Tape andLabels.Current

Normally,cleaning procedures, including use of the solvents in 7.2,cannot be used on porous or solvent-sensitive materials.7.3 C
30、leaning Material, absorbent, either surgical gauze ortissue. To be suitable, materials must be lint-free during use,absorbent, contain no additives that are soluble in the solventslisted in 7.2, and be made without contaminants.8.

Van Nostrand Co., Inc., New York, NY, and the “United StatesPharmacopoeia”.D6252/D6252M 98 (2011)2NOTE 4Discard cleaned panels showing s
35、tains, discoloration, ornumerous scratches. Avoid contacting panel surfaces with fingers. Duringstorage, panels should be protected by covering with protective tape.10. Conditioning10.1 Condition the sample rolls or sheets in the standardconditioning atmosphere as described in Practice D4332 for ape
36、riod of not less than 24 h. Test at these conditions.11. Procedure11.1 Dispense diacetone alcohol onto the panel. Scrub thepanel with a clean piece of absorbent cleaning material. Drythe panel with fresh absorbent cleaning material. Dispense oneof the solvents listed in 7.2.2 onto the panel, wiping
37、it todryness with fresh absorbent cleaning material. Repeat for atotal of three washes with this solvent.11.2 Place the specimen, release liner side up, and remove125 to 150 mm or 5 to 6 in. of the release liner by pulling therelease liner away from the adhesive and cutting to theappropriate length.
38、11.3 Touch one end of the specimen with exposed adhesiveto an end of the test panel. Hold the outer end of the specimenso that it does not make contact with the panel but is positionedloosely above it. Roll the label stock mechanically once in eachdirection, causing the roller to apply the label sto
39、ck to thepanel. This action prevents entrapment of air between theadhesive and the panel. Should such entrapment of air occur,discard the specimen.NOTE 5Use only the weight of the roller to press the samples onto thetest panel. Do not push down on the roller.11.4 Individually prepare each specimen a
40、nd test immedi-ately (within 60 s).NOTE 6Longer dwell time will give different results. Peel adhesionincreases with dwell time at different rates for various label stocks. Alonger dwell time may be chosen purposely. Within a set of tests, onespecified dwell time should be used. Sets of data should b
41、e compared onlyif a common dwell time has been used.11.5 Place the panel into the panel holder on the lowerfixture. Clamp the free end of the specimen into the upperclamp. Operate the separation speed at 5.0 6 0.2 mm/s or 126 0.5 in./min.11.6 After the jaw is started in motion, disregard the valueso
42、btained while the first and last 25 mm or 1 in. is mechanicallypeeled.11.6.1 Record an instrument integrated value obtained fromthe peeling of the next 50 mm or 2 in. after the first 25 mm or1 in. for the peel-adhesion value, or11.6.2 For the next 50 mm or 2 in. of peel after the first 25mm or 1 in.
43、, average all chart recorded high peaks and an equalnumber of low peaks. Record the average value for thepeel-adhesion value.11.7 If the sample breaks before an average pull value isobtained, the sample can be reinforced with transparent tapeapproximately 1 mil thickness. If transparent tape is used
44、, itshould be noted in the report.12. Calculation12.1 If recorded peel adhesion is not in newtons per 100 mmor ounces per inch of width, convert to newtons or ounces.Calculate peel adhesion in newtons per 100 mm or ounces perinch of width.13. Report13.1 The report shall include the following informa
45、tion:13.1.1 Statement that this practice was used and indicateany deviations from the practice as written.13.1.2 Complete identification of each specimen tested,including label source, manufacturers code number, and form.13.1.3 Anomalous behavior observed during the test, that is,adhesive transfer,
46、splitting, etc.13.1.4 Peel adhesion value in newtons per 100 mm orounces per inch of width to the nearest 0.1 N/100 mm or 0.1oz/1 in. of width.13.1.5 Dwell time.13.1.6 Transparent tape reinforcement, if used and transpar-ent tape thickness.14. Precision and Bias14.1 Based on data from a single labor
47、atory, the typicalrepeatable standard deviation is approximately 0.8 N/100 mmor 0.7 oz/1 in. The actual standard deviation will depend on thespecific pressure-sensitive product that is being tested. Aninterlaboratory test program will be conducted to determine thebetween laboratory reproducibility.1
48、4.2 BiasNo information can be presented on the bias ofthe procedure in this test method because no acceptablereference value is available.15.
