    This document outlines a test method for measuring the quick stick property of pressure sensitive tapes. Quick stick refers to a tape's ability to adhere to a surface with minimal pressure. The test involves applying a tape sample to a cleaned panel, allowing it to adhere under its own weight only. It is then peeled back at a 90 degree angle at a controlled rate, and the average peel force during removal is measured in Newtons per centimeter or ounces per inch as the quick stick value. The test should be replicated five times to obtain an average quick stick measurement for the tape sample.

    1. DEFINITION
    1.1 Quick stick is the property of a pressure sensitive tape that allows it to adhere to a surface
    under very slight pressure.

    It is measured as the force resisting peeling of a unit width of tape at a 90˚ angle from a standard
    surface upon which it has been applied under no other pressure than the weight of the tape itself.

    2. SIGNIFICANCE
    2.1 Quick stick is a measure of a tape’s ability to adhere with minimum pressure.

    3. TEST SPECIMEN
    3.1 For test specimen conditioning, selection, and test conditions, see Appendices A & D.

    3.2 The test specimen shall be no greater than 24 mm (1”) nor less than 12 mm (1/2”) wide and
    approximately 300 to 375 mm (12 to 15”) long. A width tolerance of ± 0.04 mm (1/64”) shall be
    allowed.

    4. EQUIPMENT - See Appendix B


    4.1 Tensile tester.

    4.2 Panel.

    4.3 Fixture, quick stick test.

    5. TEST METHOD
    5.1 Clean panel as per method in Appendix C.

    5.2 Hold the specimen parallel to and about 100 mm (4”) above the cleaned test panel so that
    125 mm (5”) at one end is directly over the panel length. Touch the specimen end directly above
    the panel to the end of the panel nearest to it. Relax tension at the other end of specimen allowing
    specimen to drape smoothly onto panel. Assure that the tape is put on the panel without any foreign
    pressure and that the edges of the tape run parallel to the long edges of the panel (Figure 1).

    5.3 Immediately insert the panel (the end of the panel with the free end of the test specimen first)
    into the fixture which has previously been secured in the lower jaw of the adhesion machine. Place
    the hook of the pulling cord on the far end of the panel if test jig is equipped accordingly (Figure 2).
    Fold over the adhesive surface of the free end to form a 24 mm (1”) tab and clamp in the upper jaw
    of the adhesion tester. Make sure at this point that the free end is taut and the panel in the fixture
    is in a position so that the free end forms a right angle with the panel. Start crosshead or moveable
    jaw in motion immediately at a rate of 300 mm/min (12”/min). Disregard the values obtained while
    the first 24 mm (1”) of tape is peeled mechanically. Use the average peel value obtained during the
    removal of the next 24 to 48 mm (1” to 2”) as the quick stick value. Note: A trial run should be
    made prior to testing so that the length of the tape is taut and forms a right angle with the panel as in
    Figures 3 and 4. The test fixture is constructed so that the test panel will move at the same speed as
    the tensile tester movable jaw when the foregoing is done, thus maintaining a 90˚ angle of peel.

    5.4 Repeat sections 5.1 through 5.3 four more times for a total of five replicate tests.

    A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this test method.

    6. REPORT
    6.1 Report the quick stick value(s) to the nearest 0.01 Newtons per centimeter (or to the nearest
    ounces per inch) of width.

    SUMMARY OF CHANGES
