Tests on adhesive bonds

In Accordance with the Technical Handbook of FINAT, RIO GmbH offers a number of the test methods included in it in accordance with the international standard for manufacturers and suppliers in the field of self-adhesive materials

·         FTM   1 - Peel adhesion (180°) at 300mm per minute

·         FTM   2 - Peel adhesion (90°) at 300mm per minute

·         FTM   3 - Low speed release force

·         FTM   4 - High speed release force

·         FTM   5 - Accelerated ageing - Extended storage

·         FTM   8 - Resistance to shear from a standard surface

·         FTM   9 - Loop tack measurement

·         FTM 10 - Quality of silicone coated substrates for self-adhesive laminates: release force

·         FTM 11 - Quality of silicone coated substrates for self-adhesive laminates: subsequent adhesion

·         FTM 12 - Adhesive coat weight

·         FTM 13 - Low temperature adhesion

·         FTM 14 - Dimensional stability

·         FTM 15 - Surface tension of plastic films

·         FTM 16 - Chemical resistance: Spot method

·         FTM 17 - Chemical resistance: Immersion method

·         FTM 18 - Dynamic shear

·         FTM 21 - Ink adhesion (basic)

·         FTM 22 - Ink adhesion (advanced)

·         FTM 23 - Die strike


In addition to the above, we determine the quality of your adhesive join, likewise on the basis of additional test specifications such as:

·         DIN EN 1939 Self adhesive tapes - Determination of peel adhesion properties

·         DIN EN 1943 Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of static shear adhesion

We would be glad to draw up an individual quotation for you!
