PT-500
Polyken™ Probe Tack Tester
The
PT-500 Polyken™ Probe Tack Tester, manufactured by ChemInstruments,
Inc., is designed to measure the tack of pressure sensitive adhesives. A
precision ground, flat probe contacts the adhesive, reverses direction
and pulls away from the adhesive. The maximum force required to break
the adhesive bond is recorded on a digital force gauge. The gauge is
integrated into the Tack Tester and is powered by a built in charger.
This instrument meets the standards set forth in ASTM D2979 and is
capable of testing tack of pressure sensitive adhesives on flexible as
well as rigid materials. It follows the original design patented by
Polyken Corp. and is produced with their permission.
Units
are measured in pounds, kilograms or Newtons, and contact pressure loads
are available from 10-100gm/cm. Probe tip is 304 stainless steel, with a
diameter of 5.00 mm. Machine speed is 24 ipm (61 cpm) and an
automatically designed test cycle produces a one second dwell time.
Dimensions:
19.5" (49cm) H x 10" (25cm) W x 10" (25cm) D; 23 lbs.
