Expert Commentary
The comprehensive standard for Rubber Property—Adhesion to Rigid Substrates. It includes several methods (A through G). Method B (90-degree peel) is the most common. The engineering challenge is the Bond Line. MTO provides specialized 90-Degree Peel tables that move the substrate horizontally to keep the pull-line vertical. This test is vital for the automotive industry (engine mounts, bushings) to ensure that the rubber won’t delaminate from the metal hardware under dynamic vehicle loads.
