Astm Paint Adhesion Test Tape

Under independent testing completed in 2010 using samples of permacel p99 adhesion tape both within and outside of the tape s expiry date and another two possible alternate astm tapes proposed by the astm d01 23 sub committee responsible for the d3359 standard test method the elcometer 99 adhesion test tape unlike the others tested has been proven to be a very close equivalent to the.

Astm paint adhesion test tape.

According to astm staff responsible for maintaining standards developed by committee d01 paint and related coatings materials and applications astm d3359 standard test methods for rating adhesion by tape test is one of the most frequently downloaded standards from volume 06 01. On metal substrates a more formal version of the knife test is the tape test. This procedure can also be administered on site and provides quantitative results in. Measuring adhesion by tape test1.

For additional test methods related to astm d3359 we invite you to read more about our coating testing services. D2370 test method for tensile properties of organic coatings. D3330 d3330m test method for peel adhesion of pressure sensitive tape. Elcometer 99 cross hatch adhesion test tape is astm d3359 compliant and has been proven to be nearly equivalent to permacel p99 tape which was withdrawn from production by the manufacturer in 2010.

There is no known correlation to other adhesion test methods pull off tape etc. A standard method for the application and performance of this test is available in astm d6677. 1 these test methods are under the jurisdiction of astm committee d01 on paint and related coatings materials and applications and are the direct responsibility of subcommittee d01 23 on physical properties of applied paint films. Through the patterns and methods of astm d3359 17 s procedures adhesion can be much more easily and reliably measured.

D4060 test method for abrasion resistance of organic coatings by the taber abraser. This product comes in a single 180 foot roll. This method assesses the adhesion of either one or multiple coatings on a smooth surface by applying tensile stress rather than shear stress measured in the previous two tests from a dolly to the surface the load is slowly increased until the dolly along with the adhesive layers is removed. The adhesion test kit for paint and coatings contains all of the tools and materials needed except for the multi tooth cutter blade for conducting adhesion tests on paints applied to a flat uniform surface in accordance with astm test method d3359 method b and din standard no.

This test at the simplest level involves the examination of the paint film removed after an applied tape is peeled off.
