1、Designation: D3330/D3330M 04 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forPeel Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tape1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3330/D3330M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye
2、ar 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the me
3、asurement of the peeladhesion of pressure-sensitive tapes.1.1.1 Test Method A gives a measure of the adherence,when peeled at 180 angle, to a standard steel panel or to othersurface of interest for a single-coated tape.1.1.2 Test Method B gives a measure of the adherence to thebacking of a single-co
4、ated tape.1.1.3 Test Method C gives a measure of the adherence ofdouble-coated tape to a standard steel panel or other surface ofinterest.1.1.4 Test Method D gives a measure of the adherence of therelease liner to the adhesive of either single- or double-coatedtape.1.1.5 Test Method E gives a measur
5、e of the adherence of anadhesive transfer tape to a standard steel panel or other surfaceof interest.1.1.6 Test Method F gives a measure of the adherence, whenpeeled at 90 angle, to a standard steel panel or other surface ofinterest for a single-coated tape.1.2 These test methods provide a means of
6、assessing theuniformity of the adhesion of a given type of pressure-sensitiveadhesive tape. The assessment may be within a roll of tape,between rolls, or between production lots.1.3 Variations in either the tape backing or the adhesive, orboth, affect the response. Therefore, these test methods cann
7、otbe used to pinpoint the specific cause(s) of non-uniformity.1.4 These test methods may not be appropriate to test tapeshaving relatively stiff backings, stiff liners, or backings show-ing high stretch at low forces. These characteristics will resultin a high variability for the test response which
8、 is not a trueindication of the real nature of the adhesive bond.1.5 Values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to beregarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents, therefore, each systemmust be used independently without combining values in any
9、way.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It 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. Referenc

19、iner side up. The liner is removed and the exposed adhesivecovered with a strip of 0.025-mm 0.001-in. thick polyesterfilm. The resulting tape is then tested as described in TestMethod A.4.3.2 Liner Side AdhesionThe face side adhesive is ad-hered to a 0.025-mm 0.001-in. polyester film. The liner isre
20、moved and the tape is applied adhesive down to a stainlesssteel panel (or other surface of interest). Testing is conducted asdescribed in Test Method A.4.4 Test Method DAdhesion to LinerThe tape is adheredto a standard steel test panel with the liner side up. The liner ispeeled from the adhesive in
21、the same manner as in peeling asingle-coated tape from a standard panel as described in TestMethod A.4.5 Test Method EAdhesion of Adhesive Transfer Tapes:4.5.1 Face SideThe tape is adhered to a standard panel (orother surface of interest). The liner is removed and a 0.025-mm0.001-in. thick strip of
22、polyester is adhered to form afilm-backed strip of tape. The adhesion is measured as de-scribed in Test Method A.4.5.2 Linear SideThe transfer tape is applied to a strip of0.025-mm 0.001-in. thick polyester film, the liner is removedand the resulting tapes adhesion is measured as described inTest Me
23、thod A.4.6 Test Method FSingle-Coated Tapes, 90 PeelA stripof tape is applied to a standard test panel (or other surface ofinterest) with controlled pressure. The tape is peeled from thepanel at 90 angle at a specified rate, during which time theforce required to effect peel is measured.5. Significa
24、nce and Use5.1 These test methods are tools for quality assurance use.Given specific pressure-sensitive tape and a requirement interms of the minimum or maximum peel value expected forthis tape, the data from the test can be used in conjunction withacceptance criteria.5.2 Test Method A, B, C, E, or
25、F can show the relative bondstrength of a given tape to one or more surfaces (material andtexture) as compared to the standard stainless steel panel.Substitution of representative samples of materials in questionfor the standard steel panel would suffice to do this.5.3 Test Methods A, B, C, E or F c
26、annot be used to comparetwo pressure-sensitive tapes of the same type but of differentmanufacture for their ability to adhere to a surface. This isbecause the measured peel force is not normalized for a fixedarea of stress. The area under stress varies with backingstiffness and adhesive rheology (fi
27、rmness). Two different tapesseldom agree in these properties.5.4 Test Method D can show the amount of force required toremove a liner that covers the adhesive side of a tape at aspecified peel rate. The force will be different at other peelrates.5.5 These test methods may not provide design informat
28、ionas there is usually no direct relationship between peel adhesionand any functional requirement.6. Apparatus6.1 Specimen CutterThe specimen cutter shall hold twosingle-edged razor blades in parallel planes, a precise distanceapart, to form a cutter of exact specimens widths. Two cutters,12- and 24
29、-mm 0.05- and 1-in. cutting width, shall beavailable. Appropriate alternates which will not cause edgedamage may be used.NOTE 1These widths correspond to the primary metric (SI) unitsdescribed in Guide D5750/D5750M. These so-called “modular metric”units are used throughout the world, except for Euro
30、pe. If it is desirable totest slightly different widths (for example, 25 mm) of specimens thanthose described in 9.1, this should be noted (see 18.1.7) and calculationsmust also account for the difference (see 17.1).NOTE 2The 12-mm 0.5-in. cutter shall consist of a 12-mm 0.5-in.thick by 220-mm 8-in.
31、 length aluminum bar stock 12-mm 0.05-in.wide. The edges for about 125 mm 5 in. from one end shall be slightlyrounded to form a handle. The width of the bar for 75 mm 3 in. from theopposite end shall be narrowed to exactly 12 mm 0.5 in. minus thethickness of a single razor blade (one of two used as
32、cutting edges). Therazor blades shall be held in position using side plates. The end of thecutter shall be cut away at 45 angle to expose the cutting edge at one endof the blades. The edges shall be separated by 12 6 0.10 mm 0.5 in. The24-mm 1-in. cutter shall follow the same description except the
33、bar stockshall be 24.0 mm 1 in. and shall be narrowed exactly 24 mm 1 in.minus the thickness of a single razor blade.6.2 Dispensing SystemFor solvents, such as a wash bottle.6.3 PanelA stainless steel panel, 50 by 125 mm 2 by 5in. no less than 1.1 mm 0.043 in. thickness, conforming toType 302 or 304
34、 of Specification A666, having a brightannealed finish. The surface roughness height shall be 50 6 25nm 2.06 1.0 in. arithmetical average deviation from themean line. Panels showing stains, discoloration, or manyscratches are not acceptable. New panels should be cleanedprior to use as described in 1
35、1.1, except with ten washes of thefinal solvent. Between uses, the panel test surface shall beprotected from scratches and contamination, and the panelsstored at conditions described in Section 10.6.4 RollerMechanically or hand operated.6.4.1 Asteel roller 85 6 2.5 mm 3.25 6 0.1 in. in diameterand 4
36、5 6 1.5 mm 1.75 6 0.05 in. in width, covered withrubber approximately 6 mm 0.25 in. in thickness, having aShore scale A durometer hardness of 80 6 5. The surface shallbe a true cylinder void of any convex or concave deviations.The mass of the roller shall be 2040 6 45 g 4.5 6 0.1 lb.D3330/D3330M 04
37、(2010)26.4.2 No part of the apparatus shall increase the mass of theroller during use. The roller shall move either mechanically orby hand at the rate of 10 6 0.5 mm/s 24 6 0.5 in./min. Amechanically operated roller is recommended for refereepurposes.NOTE 3A simple check to determine if the rubber s
38、urface is cylindri-cal is to wrap the roller in a very thin paper (onionskin) and drag it acrossa flat glass plate on which is placed carbon paper, face up. The carbon rubsoff onto the thin paper wrapper to reveal high spots or hollows on therubber surface.6.5 Adhesion TesterA constant-rate-of-exten
39、sion (CRE)tension tester shall be used. It is proposed to use an electronicmachine taking at least one reading per mm 0.1 in. of tapepeeled. The tester shall have two clamps with centers in thesame plane, parallel with the direction of the motion on thestressing clamp, and so aligned that they will
40、hold thespecimen wholly in the same plane; a means of moving thestressing clamp at a uniform rate of 5.0 6 0.2 mm/s 12 6 0.5in./min and a device for recording load. The instrument shallbe calibrated to an accuracy of 0.5 % of full scale and the scalerange used for any test shall be such that the mea
41、n test levelfalls within 20 to 80 % of full scale.6.6 Fixture90 peel for Test Method F.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals should beused in all tests. Other grades may be used, provided it is firstascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity topermit
42、 its use without lessening accuracy of the determination.7.2 Solvents:7.2.1 Any of the following solvents may be used forcleaning:7.2.1.1 Diactone alcohol non-residual, technical grade orbetter,7.2.1.2 Methanol (95 %),7.2.1.3 Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK),7.2.1.4 n-Heptane, or7.2.1.5 Acetone.7.2.2 For r
43、eferee testing, the final cleaning shall be withMEK or acetone.7.2.3 Before selecting or using these solvents for cleaningtest panels, be sure to read and follow all precautions on thechemical Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and consultwith Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) professionals.7.
44、3 Cleaning MaterialAbsorbent, surgical gauze, cottonwool or tissue may be used. To be suitable, materials must belint-free during use, absorbent, contain no additives that aresoluble in the solvents listed in 7.2 and made exclusively fromvirgin materials.8. Sampling8.1 Acceptance SamplingSampling sh
45、all be in accordancewith Practice D3715/D3715M.8.2 Sampling for Other PurposesThe sampling and thenumber of test specimens depends on the purpose of thetesting. Practice E122 is recommended. It is common to test atleast five specimens of a particular tape. Test specimens shouldbe taken from several
46、rolls of tape, and whenever possible,among several production runs of tape. Strong conclusionsabout a specific property of a tape cannot be based on tests ofa single unit (roll) of a product.9. Test Specimen9.1 The specimen shall be 24 mm 1 in. wide. If thespecimen is of a different width, refer to
47、Note 5. A tolerance of60.5 mm 6164 in. shall be allowed. The length shall beapproximately 300 mm 12 in.9.2 Discard at least three but no more than six outer wrapsof tape from the sample roll before taking the specimens fortesting.9.3 Remove one specimen per sample roll for each test to beperformed.
48、Remove the specimen from a freely rotating roll atthe rate of 500 to 750 mm/s 20 to 30 in./s. Where width orother factors causing a high adherence to backing makes itimpossible to remove the specimen at the prescribed rate,remove it at a rate as close to 500 mm/s 20 in./s as possible.9.4 When tape i
49、s wider than 24 mm 1 in., specimens of thewidest specified width are to be cut from the center of a stripremoved from the roll in accordance with 9.3.9.5 Apply specimen within 5 min after unwinding.10. Conditioning10.1 Condition the sample rolls of tape in the standardconditioning atmosphere as described in Practice D4332 for aperiod of not less than 24 h. Test at these conditions.(WarningThe tester should know that by prolonged han-dling heat is transmitted to the stain
