I. Introduction to the Loop Tack Tester

The loop tack test is used to measure the tack force or strength of a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) according to ASTM D6195, FINAT FTM 9 and PSTC 16. It helps evaluate the adhesive’s ability to bond quickly and strongly to a substrate, which is crucial in packaging, labeling, and other adhesive applications.

Loop Tack Testing Process

A loop is formed from the test material with the adhesive-coated side facing the substrate or a stainless steel plate.
The ends of the loop are clamped together in an upper grip.
The loop is pressed onto the surface, compressing the adhesive.
The loop is then pulled away, and the adhesive gradually debonds from the substrate, measuring the force required to break the bond.

The loop tack test provides valuable information about the immediate adhesive strength of PSAs. It is particularly important for evaluating adhesives in products that require quick bonding, such as tapes, labels, and medical devices.
