Overview
EN 1895:2001 (CEN) specifies a 180° "T" peel test method for measuring the peel resistance of a bonded assembly made from two flexible adherends (equal or different flexural modulus). It targets adhesives used for paper and board, packaging and disposable sanitary products and defines the procedure, apparatus and reporting requirements to obtain reproducible peel-force data for flexible-to-flexible bonds.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: 180° "T" peel for flexible-to-flexible assemblies (peel force / peel strength measurement).
- Test principle: Progressive separation from an open bond edge; force applied to the unbonded ends (angle uncontrolled).
- Apparatus: Tensile testing machine with constant grip-separation rate, force indicator/recorder; force reading accuracy within ±2%. Aim for rupture force between 20% and 80% of full-scale.
- Specimen preparation:
- Adherends preferably uniform and ≤ 3 mm thick.
- Typical specimen width: 25 mm unless otherwise specified.
- Adhesive application and bonding conditions (temperature, pressure, coating mass) must follow manufacturer recommendation and be reported.
- Bonding can be full-coating (lamination) or bead/line, depending on substrate and expected failure mode.
- Conditioning and atmosphere: Standard atmosphere 23/50 (ISO 554); minimum conditioning 2 hours.
- Test procedure:
- Typical grip separation rate: 300 ± 10 mm/min (other speeds may be specified).
- Two test types: Type 1 - continue until at least 125 mm of bonded length is separated (average force taken); Type 2 - test until complete separation (maximum force recorded).
- Minimum of five test specimens.
- Results and report: Record peel force per specimen and arithmetic mean; identify failure mode per EN ISO 10365. Test report must include adhesive and adherend identification, bonding conditions, specimen type/dimensions, conditioning, separation rate, results (N and N/mm), failure types and test date.
Applications and users
EN 1895:2001 is used by:
- Adhesive manufacturers for product development and specification.
- Packaging and paperboard converters for quality control of laminated or bonded flexible materials.
- Producers of disposable sanitary products (e.g., hygiene tapes and seals) to assess bond performance.
- Test laboratories and R&D departments verifying adhesive performance under standardized conditions.
Practical uses include comparative product testing, acceptance testing of production batches, and supporting technical datasheets with standardized peel-strength data.
