In industries where packaging integrity and adhesion strength are critical, the Peel Strength Tester emerges as a crucial quality control instrument. As packaging materials evolve to meet diverse consumer and industrial demands, understanding how well two surfaces are bonded can make or break product performance. Pacorr Testing Instruments offers a high-performance Peel Strength Tester designed to meet the rigorous testing requirements of various industries including packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and textiles.

What is a Peel Strength Tester?

A Peel Strength Tester is a precision testing instrument that measures the adhesive or bond strength between two flexible or between a flexible and a rigid substrate. The test is typically conducted by peeling one surface away from another at a controlled speed and angle while recording the force required. The result helps manufacturers determine whether the bond strength is within acceptable limits for functionality, safety, and durability.

Common testing configurations include:

• 180° Peel Test – Used when peeling a flexible material from a rigid substrate.

• 90° Peel Test – Suitable for flexible-to-flexible or flexible-to-semi-rigid adhesion tests.

Why Peel Strength Matters

Peel strength plays a vital role in the performance, safety, and shelf-life of products. Weak adhesion in packaging can lead to product contamination, leakage, or failure in transit. In electronics or automotive applications, poor bonding can result in component malfunction or detachment under stress. Testing peel strength helps identify bonding failures early in the production process, reducing wastage, recalls, and reputational damage.

Some of the critical applications include:

• Flexible Packaging: To evaluate seal integrity in food, pharma, and consumer goods packaging.

• Adhesive Tapes and Labels: To determine the peeling force required to remove labels or tape from surfaces.

• Medical Devices: To ensure sterile seals remain intact until point of use.

• Automotive and Aerospace: For testing adhesives used in trim, insulation, and interior components.

• Electronics: In the assembly of flexible displays and components that require reliable adhesion.
