Standard Test Method for 90 Degree Peel Resistance of Adhesives

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is useful for acceptance and quality control testing. Adherends, application procedure, and sample conditioning shall be as agreed upon by the manufacturer and the user of the adherends and the adhesive.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the resistance-to-peel strength of an adhesive bond between one rigid adherend and one flexible adherend when tested at an angle of approximately 90 degrees under specified conditions of preparation and testing.
1.2 A variation in thickness of the adherends will generally influence test values. For this reason, the thickness of the adherends used to make the test specimens shall be specified in the material specification. When no thickness is specified, the flexible adherend shall be 0.63 mm (0.025 in.) thick and the rigid adherend shall be 1.63 mm (0.064 in.) thick.
Note 1—A heavy fabric, such as canvas, has been used as a flexible adherend.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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.

90 Degree Peel Resistance of Adhesives
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6862; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this test method is to provide for the determination of the resistance-to-peel strength
of adhesives when surfaces joined by an adhesive are separated by applying a force to one of the
surfaces at a 90 degree angle. The accuracy of the results of strength tests of adhesive bonds will
depend on the conditions under which the bonding process is carried out. Unless otherwise agreed
upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser, the bonding conditions shall be prescribed by the
manufacturer of the adhesive. In order to ensure that complete information is available to the
individual conducting the tests, the manufacturer of the adhesive shall furnish numerical values and
other specific information for each of the following variables:
(1) Procedure for preparation of the surfaces prior to application of the surfaces prior to application
of the adhesive, the cleaning and drying of surfaces, and special surface treatments, which are not
specifically limited by the pertinent test method.
(2) Complete mixing directions for the adhesive.
(3) Conditions for the application of the adhesive, including the rate of spread or thickness of the
film, number of coats to be applied, whether to one or both of the surfaces, and the conditions of
drying.
(4) Assembly conditions before the application of pressure, including room temperature and length
of time.
(5) Curing conditions, including the amount of pressure to be applied, the length of time under
pressure, and the temperature of the assembly when under pressure. It should be stated whether this
temperature is that of the glue line or of the atmosphere at which the assembly is to be maintained.
(6) Conditioning procedure before testing, unless a standard procedure is specified, including
length of time and relative humidity.
Range may be prescribed for any variable provided it is acceptable to both the manufacturer and the
purchaser of the adhesive.
