Loop Tack Tester

LT-2000

The Loop Tack method is probably the most important, but also the most difficult of all adhesive material properties to measure. The Loop Tack Tester determines the initial or instant tack at a constant pull-off speed. A 10 pound load cell is included with the machine (2 and 5 pound load cells are optional). The unit is a rugged construction and therefore capable of withstanding the abuse of the production environment. Data can be downloaded to EZ Data software for complete data management. EZ-Data Software is optional.
