1、Designation: D3121 17Standard Test Method forTack of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives by Rolling Ball1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3121; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers measurement of the compara-tive tack of pressure-sensitive adhesives by a rolling ball and ismost appropriat

3、e for low-tack adhesives. This test method isonly one of several available for the measurement of tack.1.1.1 This test method is not recommended for the specifi-cation of end use products.1.2 Values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to beregarded separately as standard. The values stated i

4、n eachsystem may not be exact equivalents, therefore, each systemmust be used independently without combining values in anyway.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish a

5、ppro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of

Summary of Test Method4.1 In the determination of tack by the rolling-ball method,a steel ball is released at the top of an incline, allowed toaccelerat

8、e down the incline and roll on to a horizontal surfacecovered with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Tack is determinedby measuring the distance that the ball travels across theadhesive before stopping. There are two major retarding forcesapplied by the adhesive to the ball: (1) the adhesion betweenthe

9、 ball and the adhesive, often called “grab,” and (2) the“plowing effect” or energy required to push the adhesive out ofthe balls path.4.2 Test results are influenced by (1) adhesive filmthickness, (2) bond of adhesive to backing, and (3) backingrigidity, so these factors must be carefully controlled

10、 forsatisfactory comparisons.5. Significance and Use5.1 The rolling-ball tack test is fast, easy to run, and requireslittle investment in equipment and little operator training. Thistest is intended primarily for quality control use since itdemonstrates good reproducibility within a single laborator

11、yand ability to detect batch-to-batch variations accurately ifadhesive film thickness is held constant. Rolling ball tack is notintended as an investigative tool since for most pressuresensitive adhesive applications rolling ball tack results do notcorrelate well with application tack requirements.6

The ball isa11mm(716 in.) diameter steel ball unless otherwise specified.7. Reagents7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals should beused in all tests. Oth

13、er grades may be used, provided it is firstascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity topermit its use without lessening accuracy of the determination.7.2 Solvents:1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D10 onPackaging and is the direct responsibility of Subco

Test Specimen8.1 The test specimen is a substrate coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is generally about 48 mm (2 in.)3wideand approximately 380 mm (15 in.) long. Specific sampledim

20、ensions can be selected for the adhesive to be tested sincethe length need only be sufficient to allow the adhesive to stopthe ball, and the width need be only wide enough to encompassthe ball track.9. Conditioning9.1 Before test, store the pressure-sensitive adhesive-coatedsubstrate at the selected

21、 test conditions for 24 h. If otherconditions are not specified the storage and test conditions shallbe 23 6 2C (73 6 4F) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity.Details of these and other conditions are more fully describedin Specification E171.10. Procedure10.1 Select a hard, horizontal surface of sufficie

Repeat for atotal of three washes. The final

23、 cleaning shall be with analternate solvent, either MEK or acetone. Do not touch cleanedsurfaces with fingers. The cleaned surface should be allowed todry at standard conditions for at least 10 min. If cleanedapparatus is not used within 10 h, it should be recleaned.NOTE 1All operations with solvent

Allow to dry at standardconditions for at least 10 min. After cleaning do not touch theball or raceway. Use clean, dry tongs to place the ball on theup
