Loop Tack Tester – Computerised
The Katpot Systems Loop Tack Tester (Model KLT-200) is designed to measure the initial tack (stickiness) of pressure-sensitive adhesives such as tapes, labels, and films.
It evaluates how quickly and strongly an adhesive bonds to a surface at the first point of contact.
This test is crucial for assessing instant adhesion performance, which determines product usability and customer satisfaction.
The tester operates at a constant speed and provides accurate, repeatable results with digital load measurement and graphical output.
Complies with ASTM D6195, ensuring reliable, standardized testing for both production QC and R&D laboratories.
Advanced Features
- Measures initial tack or stickiness of PSA materials with high precision.
- Computerized operation with digital and graphical output.
- Speed-drive system ensures constant test rate for accurate repeatability.
- Quick sample setup for high-throughput lab and production testing.
- NABL-traceable calibration certificate ensures standard compliance.
- User-friendly control panel for easy operation and monitoring.
- Compact, low-noise, and durable design suitable for continuous lab use.
- Ideal for tapes, labels, films, laminates, and coating manufacturers.
Product Importance
- Determines the initial tack strength — how quickly an adhesive “grabs” a surface.
- Helps manufacturers evaluate adhesive performance consistency across production batches.
- Ensures that labels, tapes, and laminates have proper tack for immediate bonding applications.
- Prevents issues like poor adhesion, slipping, or delayed sticking during application.
- Enables formulation optimization for adhesive development and coating control.
- Ensures compliance with ASTM D6195 / PSTC-16 tack testing standards.
- Vital for tape, label, and flexible packaging industries where instant bond is critical.
