Expert Commentary
The benchmark for Pressure-Sensitive Tack of Adhesives using an inverted probe machine. A stainless-steel probe is brought into contact with the adhesive at a controlled force and then pulled away at a constant rate. MTO’s Tack Tester utilizes a high-sensitivity 50N load cell and a Zero-Friction air-bearing stage. The engineering metric is Maximum Pull-Off Force. This is the gold standard for the label and medical tape industries, where instant grab is a primary performance characteristic.
