Abstract

In this paper a newly developed tack-meter is introduced. One of the major features of this tack-meter is pushing the probe wrapped in a PET film against a sample, and during pulling apart the film from the sample tack of a material is measured. And each material’s tack is compared by the adhesion to a PET film. The quality of a PET film is stable as a comparison contrast material. Another feature of the tack-meter is that it is operated full automatic and it can measure continuously at high speed. Also the tack-meter is improved in subjects of various existing tack measuring methods. They are reproducibility, accuracy of measurement, and measuring speed. It is designed suitable for use in the manufacturing line in respect of a size and easy operation.
