Precision Adhesive Strength Testing
Loop Tack Tester
About Us
Loop Tack Tester
The Loop Tack Tester is a professional Adhesive Strength Tester designed to measure the tack force of pressure-sensitive adhesives with high precision. Tack, also known as the initial bonding strength, is a key parameter that reflects how quickly and firmly an adhesive can form a bond under light pressure.

Testing Standards
The Loop Tack Tester is fully compliant with internationally recognized standards for adhesive testing.
01
ASTM D6195
Standard Test Methods for Loop Tack Strength of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives. This method defines how to measure the maximum force required to separate an adhesive loop from a standardized surface.
02
PSTC16
Standard Test Method by the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council, widely used in tape and label industries.
03
FLANT9
A commonly used industry standard for loop tack evaluation, especially for packaging materials.
Wide Applications
From product development to final inspection, the Loop Tack Tester provides reliable data for optimizing adhesive formulations and improving production quality.
