FTM 180

Tensile tester with up to 9 individually vertically movable force transducers

The ZIEGLER FTM 180 adhesive strength tester is a multiple tensile tester. The test device has up to 9 individually vertically movable force transducers and a work table. The work table can be moved manually so that either pull-off tests or loop tack measurements can be carried out. Due to the special arrangement on the tensile tester, the samples can be pulled at a vertical angle of 180° and at speeds of 300 mm/min and 10 m/min.

Components (selection):

  • Precision drives that maintain the speeds precisely
  • Touchscreen display for messages and settings, evaluation of actual value, minimum value, maximum value
    and average value in N or cN

Areas of application of the device:

  • When processing and finishing adhesives, composite materials, self-adhesive materials and release agent
  • Production monitoring and quality control
  • Sustainability certificates for storage
  • Outgoing goods inspection by the manufacturer
  • Incoming goods inspection by the finisher
  • Outgoing goods inspection by the finisher
  • Incoming goods inspection by the user
  • Friction tests

Supported test methods (selection):

  • 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 9 – Loop Tack Measurement (for an additonal charge)
    This measurement method measures the "loop tack" ("tack" is sometimes also referred to as "initial grab/initial adhesion" or "application tack"). In accordance with the FINAT* specifications the device measures the force required to separate a loop of a material (adhesive outermost) at a specified speed, which has been brought into contact with a specified area of a standard surface.
  • 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.
  • ZIEGLER FTM 180 supports many other test methods...
