Peel force tester - Ziegler FT-1000H

FT-1000H

Adhesion tester with heated sample table according to the test standards of FINAT* and Afera**

The ZIEGLER FT-1000H adhesion tester is tailored to the requirements of manufacturers, processors and users of adhesive composite materials. Its specifications correspond to the FINAT* and Afera** test standards. The device is a tensile tester that allows you to test the adhesion of materials according to these testing standards.

Testable materials:

  • Friction films
  • Cling films
  • Adhesive tapes with release material
  • Adhesives
  • Labels
  • Self-adhesive films
  • Security stickers
  • Seal materials
  • Packaging straps made of paper, plastic, textile and metal and materials with related properties

Working principle: The device is designed as a horizontal tensile tester. The sample table is equipped with a movable clamp with constant feed, while the fixed clamp is rigidly coupled to the load cell. This can be used to measure properties such as release force and peel strength at a peel angle of 180°.

The FT-1000H can be used in stand-alone mode (average value at a given speed). The software (compatible with Windows® 10-11) which records, evaluates, saves, prints and exports the measured values, is used for further processing of the data.

Supported test methods

The following tests of the properties of pressure-sensitive adhesives and pressure-sensitive composite materials are supported:

  • FINAT* FTM 1 – Peel Adhesion (180°) At 300mm Per Minute
    In accordance with FINAT* specifications, this measurement method measures the release force that is required to remove a self-adhesive material that has been stuck to a standard test panel under previously defined conditions with a peel angle of 180° and a speed of 300 mm/min.

  • FINAT* FTM 3 – Low Speed Release Force
    In accordance with the FINAT* specifications, this measurement method measures the release force that is necessary to remove a material with a self-adhesive layer from its release paper (or vice versa) at a 180° angle and a peel speed of 300 mm/min.

  • FINAT* FTM 10 – Quality of Silicone Coated Substrates for Self-Adhesive Laminates: Release Force
    In accordance with the FINAT* specifications this measurement method measures the release force to separate an adhesive coated material, which is pressure sensitive, from its backing or protective sheet (or vice versa) under specified conditions and at a specified angle and speed.

  • FINAT* FTM 11 – Quality of Silicone Coated Substrates for Self-Adhesive Laminates: Subsequent Adhesion
    In accordance with the FINAT* specifications this measurement method measures, at a specified angle and speed, the force that is required to remove a pressure sensitive adhesive coated material from a standard test plate, which has previously been in contact with a silicone coated substrate under specified conditions.

    • Equipment for addtional charge

  • Foil holder
  • Paper clip

    • Technical Data
    Force measurement: The bond strength tester is equipped with two highly sensitive DMS measuring cells in the measuring ranges 5 and 50 N.
    Drive: The sample table is driven by an electronically tachometer-controlled, durable precision DC motor.
    The standard pulling speed is 300 mm/min, 50/300/1000 and 60 - 990 mm/min can be selected from the front.
    Force display: The mean tensile force determined is shown on the display of the measuring device.

    Reading accuracy:
    Measuring range 5 N, 0.001 N
    Measuring range 50 N, 0.01 N

    Accuracy: Force measurement: < 1% of reading +/- 2 digits
    Speed: < 2% of the selected speed
    Operating voltage: 100 - 240V / 50 - 60 Hz / 30VA
    Dimensions: L 410 x W 280 x H 140 mm
    Weight: ca. 8,0 kg

    Temperature: The temperature of the heated sample stage is kept constant at the set value by the built-in temperature controller.
    The temperature ranges from the ambient temperature to a maximum of 80°C.
    If a higher temperature is set, the controller switches the heating off at 90° C and on again at 80°C.
