ISO 11339 measures the comparative peel properties of adhesive bonds between flexible adherends by using a T-peel test. The test is referred to as a “T-peel” due to the shape the two flexible adherends form as they are pulled apart. Average peel strength for each specimen type and average, minimum, and maximum peeling loads for each individual specimen are the primary results of interest. Manufacturers use this standard for quality control in a wide range of industries as it is primarily intended for determining relative peel resistance between individual specimens or different types of adhesives. Direct comparison of different adhesives can only be made when specimen construction and test conditions are identical.
