The Lab Master® Release and Adhesion testing system measures the peeling strength of pressure sensitive adhesives and release strength of labels. The unit meets a variety of international standards such as ASTM, FINAT, TLMI and other standards. Methods are user-defined, saved and selected through a PC- based touch screen display operating under Windows® based application software. The software offers the ability to create user-defined test set-ups, individual test speed selection, user-definable default areas for analysis, and enhanced calibration. Test data visually represents the characteristics of the peel.
