ZHTest Method: SATRA TM401
Peel strength of adhesive bonds
December 2021
SCOPE
This method is intended to determine the peel strength of an adhesive bond. The method is applicable to all types of bonded joint where at least one of the adherends is flexible.
PRINCIPLE
Test specimens are cut from a bonded assembly which has been previously prepared, typically using the procedure(s) described in:
SATRA TM402 A-E – Preparation of A/B/C/D/E bonded test assemblies for adhesion tests.
A = stuck-on,
B = thermoplastic injected-on,
C = direct-vulcanised,
D = sponge rubber-moulded-on,
E = polyurethane reaction moulded-on
SATRA TM414 - Preparation of holt melt bonded assemblies for peel tests.
or other procedures such as factory prepared test specimens. This may include parts of finished footwear such as linings and other laminated assemblies.
The test specimen is then peeled using a tensile testing machine while the force per unit width required to separate the two adherends is measured and the type of bond failure assessed.
