ASTM D3330 is the test method for the peel adhesion of pressure-sensitive tape. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D3330 Covers
It measures the force to peel a pressure-sensitive tape from a surface at a defined angle and rate, the key adhesion property for tapes and labels.
How the Test Is Run
A bonded tape strip is peeled from a panel at a set angle, commonly 90 or 180 degrees, at a controlled rate, and the average peel force is recorded.
Why It Matters
Peel adhesion governs tape and label performance; grips, a peel fixture, and a tensile frame with a stable force trace are used.
