These methods cover the measurement of the peel adhesion of pressure sensitive tapes. Peel adhesion is the force required to remove a pressure sensitive tape from a test panel or its own backing at a controlled angle and at a standard rate and condition.

1.1.1 Test Method A gives a measure of the adherence, when peeled at 180˚ angle at 5 mm/sec, to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest for a single-coated tape.

1.1.2 Test Method B gives a measure of the adherence to the backing of a single-coated tape.

1.1.3 Test Method C gives a measure of adherence of double-coated tape to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest.

1.1.4 Test Method D gives a measure of adherence of the release liner to the adhesive of either single or double-coated tape.

1.1.5 Test Method E gives a measure of adherence of an adhesive transfer tape to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest.

1.1.6 Test Method F gives a measure of adherence, when peeled at 90˚ angle, to a standard steel panel or other surface of interest for a single-coated tape.
