Stainless Steel Testing Plates – Peel Adhesion/ Loop Tack/ Shear Test/ Rolling Tack.
Testing Plates / Test Panels – For Peel, Loop Tack, Shear & Rolling Tack
Katpot Systems Testing Plates (Standard Test Panels) are precision-finished plates used for specimen preparation and adhesion testing such as Peel Adhesion, Loop Tack, Shear Adhesion and Rolling Ball Tack. Available in standard ASTM/FINAT sizes and custom sizes as per your testing method and instrument fixture.
Advanced Features
- Precision finished surface for consistent specimen bonding
- Durable construction for daily lab usage and repeated cleaning
- Standard + custom sizes available as per ASTM/FINAT practices
- Supports multiple adhesion tests (Peel, Loop Tack, Shear, Rolling Tack)
- Optional marking/ID engraving (plate number / customer name)
Product Importance
- Improves repeatability by providing a consistent bonding surface for specimen preparation.
- Reduces variation caused by scratches, uneven surfaces or contaminated panels.
- Essential for reliable peel, tack and shear results in routine QC.
- Helps maintain lab-to-lab consistency when the same type of plate is used.
- Enables proper wet-out/contact between adhesive and panel for accurate performance comparison.
Description
Testing plates are one of the most critical accessories in adhesion testing because the surface quality and consistency directly impacts results. Katpot Systems testing plates provide a stable, repeatable surface to apply adhesive specimens before testing, improving repeatability across operators and batches.
These plates are suitable for routine QA/QC and R&D labs in self-adhesive tapes, labels, packaging, films & laminates, medical tapes, foam tapes, and rubber-based adhesive products.
✅ Customisation available: We can supply plates in standard sizes as per commonly followed ASTM/FINAT practices or manufacture custom plates based on your SOP and fixture compatibility.
Standards Compatibility
Used as a specimen preparation / test surface accessory commonly used along with:
- ASTM D3330 / D3330M – Peel adhesion of pressure-sensitive tape
- FINAT FTM 1 / FTM 2 – Peel adhesion (180° / 90°)
- FINAT FTM 9 – Loop tack (test panel usage)
- ASTM D3654 / FINAT FTM 8 – Shear adhesion (holding power)
- PSTC methods (as applicable in customer SOPs)
(Note: Plates are part of sample preparation / test setup; exact panel size and surface finish depends on the standard and lab practice.)
