This probe tack adhesion fixture is used to meet ASTM D2979 for Pressure-Sensitive Tack of Adhesives Using an Inverted Probe.

Description

This probe tack adhesion fixture is used to meet ASTM D2979 for Pressure-Sensitive Tack of Adhesives Using an Inverted Probe.

This fixture is fit on a Vantage Universal Testing Machine to measure pressure-sensitive tack of adhesives using the inverted probe method.  The ASTM D2979 test evaluates both rigid or flexible adhesive materials and the bond strength when combined to another surface and the ability to remove it without residue. 

MAP4 Materials Testing Software can analyze the tack adhesion data to determine the force needed to separate the adhesive after a specified load is applied to the sample via the probe.
