Adhesion Property Evaluation Technology
Nitto Denko utilizes the following tests for
evaluating the properties of adhesive tapes.
Adhesive Tape / Adhesive Sheet Tests
- Thickness
- Width
- Length
- Tensile strength or elongation
- Tear strength
- Adhesive strength
- Low-speed unwinding force
- High-speed unwinding force
- Holding power
- Inclined ball tack
- Moisture permeability
- Accelerated weathering and light-resistance
- Durability
In addition, Nitto Denko has established its
own proprietary evaluation methods, which are helpful
in the development of reliable adhesive tape. A
number of these are shown below.
- Viscoelasticity Evaluation
- By accurately ascertaining the viscoelasticity
of materials that change according to temperature
and frequency it is possible to obtain a wide
range of information about adhesive tape, such
as cold-resistance and heat-resistance, the relative
solubility of blended resin and the degree of
adhesive cross-linking, all of which is important
data used in the development of new products.
- Peel Behavior Evaluation
- Using a peel behavior observation device,
with a microscope we observe the instant when
adhesive tape is released from the adherend.
By accurately capturing this peel behavior it
is possible to clarify the influence of substrate
and adhesive properties and structure.
- Dicing Property Evaluation
- With tapes such as double-coated tapes, precision
dicing performance is required to provide customers
with product that has been pre-processed to certain
specifications. In order to find solutions to
defects that occur during cutting, a high-speed
camera and zoom lens are combined to observe
the high-speed and complicated behavior associated
with the cutting resistance that occurs when
multi-layer films are cut.
