Direct Answer: The DEK‑TRON Fixed Angle Adhesion Tester (FAAT) measures peel and adhesion forces at a constant, user‑selected angle per ISO 8510 and ASTM D1876.

What is the Fixed Angle Adhesion Tester?

The DEK‑TRON FAAT—also called a Peel Force Tester (PFT) or Adhesion Tester—is a fully computerized system for determining the force required to separate bonded materials (films, tapes, laminates, coatings) at a fixed angle and speed.

How does it work?

Set the pulling angle and speed; the instrument maintains a constant angle throughout the test while advanced DEK‑TRON software captures separation forces in real time, stores results, and renders graphs for analysis.

Key features

• Standards: ISO 8510, ASTM D1876
• Fully computerized with precision angle & speed control
• Constant‑angle motion maintained during the entire test
• Software saves data and displays force‑vs‑time graphs
• Durable, lab‑grade construction by DEK‑TRON

Applications

Adhesive R&D, film & coating adhesion, packaging evaluation, and QC environments requiring precise peel‑force/adhesion data.

FAQs

Which standards are supported?
ISO 8510 and ASTM D1876.

What materials can be tested?
Adhesive films, coatings, tapes, laminates, and bonded substrates.

Does the pulling arm keep a constant angle?
Yes—angle is held constant for consistent, comparable results.
