The Tackiness Check instrument measures the adhesion or tack of rubber materials, adhesive tapes, sealants and other materials. Tack is defined as the force required to separate two sheet materials which are compressed together for a specified time. The factors which influence the behavior of tack are: contact pressure, contact time and temperature. The instrument produced by Gibitre permits to set the test cycle and allows accurate control of adhesion force and time.
Key Features

Force Application Device The instrument is supplied with a cylindrical force application device.
The main advantages of this device are:
• Possibility to rotate or remove the device between subsequent tests
• Possibility to apply the product to be tested on the device to test the adhesion of product on product.
