GABOTACK®

GABOTACK® - Tackiness and adhesion, a certain evaluation An efficient and reliable procedure for the determination of the tackiness – not only for the tire industry – provides our brand-new tackiness tester. In practice this successfull test and quality procedure measures precisely the adhesion forces (static friction force) of sticking contact areas. Unsatisfactory product properties by internal bad contact areas belong thereby to the past. Fields of applications are: Determination of the tackiness (autohesion) of „Green Tires“ Tackiness of epoxy resins (autohesion) Adhesion testing of component segments Tackiness of varnish/paint work CHARACTERISTICS: Patented procedure for the determination of tackiness and adhesion.

Absolute values of deformation, force, initial sample length L0, time and speed Determination of the peel force („tack“ force) to the separation Determination of the peel force (“tack” energy) as mechanic energy used for separation of samples Variation of the following parameters: pressing force, pressing time, pressing speed, separation speed Storage of the raw data. Changeable force transducers with 150 N or 500 N (option) Changeable sample holders (clamping devices) for Green Tire segments and epoxy systems are available (customer specified devices on request).
