Lab Master Probe Tack Tester
For the precise measurement of adhesion, tack, quick stick and cohesion. Suitable for adhesives, tapes, pressure sensitive labels, glue, coatings and seals.
The Lab Master Probe Tack Tester is designed for precise measurement of adhesion, tack, quick stick and cohesion. Force is measured to 0.1 gram resolution and 0.02% full-scale accuracy.
Thousands of data points per test are used to generate force/distance curves that reveal material behavior during test.
