Adhesive tapes are produced to deliver adhesion between two different product surfaces. Whether it's in the form of physical tapes, or liquid or gel form glue. As their role depicts the function of bonding, thus their quality is judged mostly over the same criteria. However, it is important that not only the property but the material is also supposed to deliver is to be tested by factors that the specimen may face in the end-use that may hamper its role as an adhesive agent matters too. For instance, in the case of adhesive tapes, not only peel strength or adhesion bonds is important, the strength resistance or the burst strength is also a vital factor to test. And to evaluate a factor like this one must need the right quality test equipment - BURSTING STRENGTH TESTER.

Why do we need to test the bursting strength of adhesive tapes? Is it related to its end use performance?

The answer is YES!. The adhesive tapes are usually placed on the top of corrugated packages to seal them before transferring them to warehouses, or before shipping them to other locations. This is important so that it's ensured that products packaged must not leak out of the boxes when they have encountered jerks or any sort of physical force exertions. Here comes the strength resistance performance of the adhesive tapes.

To explain this, we need two situations:

1) When the adhesive tape has a poor bursting strength
2) When the adhesive tape has enough bursting strength

In case 1, where the package is sealed using an adhesive tape that has poor strength, the tape can burst out easily when the package experience any force that may be external but lead to movement of products that are packed inside. The jerks make the material move and flow inside out generating a bursting force. A poor strength tape will not be able to hold such energy for more time and will burst out resulting in breakage of the seal.

Now if we take case 2, with an adhesive strength that is strong enough to take such forces and retain the aadhesion, the products remain safe and delivered intact to the customers.

How one can test the bursting strength of adhesive tapes ?

Bursting strength is an important factor that may be ignored by many industries that produces adhesive tapes but must be tested to ensure that your product not only delivers strong bonding but also is resistant to retain the primary properties. To test the bursting strength resistance, the manufacturer should deliver their trust upon the right equipment - Bursting Strength Tester.

The equipment helps user to evaluate the amount of force till which the specimen can take the energy and restin its structure and the peak value at it fails to resist and burst out. By calculating these values, the user can know and predict the performance of an adhesive tape and accordingly place it under the right category of end-use. The machine is designed as per international test standards taht are followed globally for evaluation of bursting forces. It is a digital model that means, the test values will be recorded and displayed on to a LCD screen.

The machine has high-end and user friendly features that ensures high accuracy in test as well as ease of use making it a universal machine for any sector or industry. The testing and force application and other functions are entirely designed as per a microprocessor based program that leaves no chances of human error or mistakes in evaluation of values. All these and more advanced safety features of the Bursting Strength Tester makes it a right choice for Adhesive tape industry.
