Standard Practice for Evaluating Ink or Coating Adhesion to Flexible Packaging Materials Using Tape

Importancia y uso:

3.1 Poor adhesion of ink or coating to the base substrate can impact the readability of printed materials, affect the functionality of coated materials, or create a source of contamination. This practice provides a means for evaluating the adhesion of ink or coating to a flexible packaging material.

3.2 For purposes of resolving inter-laboratory disagreements, test methods developed from this practice may be improved by defining and controlling the pressure and method of tape application, (for example, using weighted roller), and the speed and angle of tape removal.

3.3 This practice does not address acceptability criteria. These need to be jointly determined by the user and producer of the product.
