Standard Test Method for Heat-Fail Temperature in Shear of Hot Melt Adhesives

SCOPE
1.1 This test method is intended to determine the temperature at which specimens bonded with hot melt adhesive delaminate under static load in shear.  
1.2 The values stated in SI unites are to be regarded as standard.  
1.3  This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
