Rolling Ball Tack Tester
Model No. :
RBT-100
Model No. : RBT-100
Brand : Chem Instruments
This economical laboratory instrument precisely quantifies the quick-stick performance, or tack, of pressure-sensitive adhesives. It utilizes the inclined plane method to measure the distance a steel ball travels, providing consistent and reliable quality control data.
-
Solid aluminum construction ensures durability.
-
CNC machined inclined trough for accuracy.
-
Minimizes ball-to-tape bounce interference.

− Features
- Solid aluminum construction, made to withstand many years of laboratory use
- CNC machined inclined trough, engineered for a smooth and accurate test
- Extra care taken in the design to minimize a “bounce” at the ball-to-tape interface
- Simple loading
General Test Methods
- Clean the inclined trough and ball with n-heptane or methyl alcohol.
- Do not touch the trough or ball with fingers after cleaning.
- Cut a 15″ long (380mm) by 2″ wide (50mm) specimen for testing purposes.
- Arrange the test specimen at the end of the device, adhesive side up, in a straight line with the trough. The bottom of the device should hold downthe leading end of the specimen and a weight or other tape should hold the other end securely.
- Ensure the device is level and aligned with the trough axis.
- Use a lint free cloth to place the ball at the top of the inclined trough for testing.
- Press the spring lever and allow the ball to roll down the trough.
- Measure the distance between the end of the incline and the point where the ball stops.
