Loop Tack Tester for Pressure Sensitive Labels

Measures the instant grab or quick-stick of a label adhesive by forming a loop and touching it to a test panel. Used by label converters and adhesive suppliers to choose grades for fast application lines.

Specification

A looped label strip is lowered onto a panel over a fixed area, then withdrawn while a load cell captures the maximum force. Loop tack indicates how well a label will stick on a high-speed applicator before pressure is applied. The instrument controls both speed and contact area to meet FINAT requirements.

Features

• Defined contact area of 25 mm x 25 mm
• Precision linear drive for 300 mm/min approach and retraction
• Load cell with peak tack value
• Loop holder with self-aligning jaws
• USB data output
