Tack

Tack

It quantifies the initial stickiness or instantaneous bond formation of a pressure-sensitive adhesive upon brief contact with another surface. Unlike full adhesion tests, tack measures the internal cohesive strength required to break the bond formed instantly under very low pressure. This property is crucial for products like tapes and labels, determining how easily they stick and stay in place upon first application. 

  • Initial Stickiness: Measures the adhesive’s ability to instantly wet-out and bond to a substrate under minimal force.
  • Quick Bond Formation: Quantifies the force needed to separate the bond after only fleeting contact, typically less than one second.
  • Processing Control: Essential for high-speed labeling and packaging lines where immediate grab and placement accuracy are necessary.
