QM2000 Tape Holding-Power Tester

The QM2000 is a manual tape holding-power (shear adhesion) tester. A bonded specimen is applied to a standard stainless-steel panel and loaded with a specified weight; its resistance to slip and failure is measured - an entry-level instrument for evaluating pressure-sensitive tape holding power.

Manually loaded and economically simple; up to 8 channels test 8 specimens in parallel. Holding power is quantified by slip distance and failure time, with stable operation and reproducible data.

Compliant with KS T 1028 and ASTM D 3654. A standard SUS panel provides a uniform bonding surface, and the rig fits inside a temperature/humidity chamber for extended conditions - suited to incoming-goods and R&D holding-power testing of packaging tape, double-sided tape and protective film.

Tape Holding Power
Shear Holding-Time Test

The QM2000 manual holding-power tester measures the slip distance or failure time (holding power) of tape and film bonded to a standard stainless-steel panel under a constant load. It supports up to 8 parallel channels, comes with high-precision standard weights and a replaceable grip adapter, and can test at room temperature or inside an environmental chamber.

From double-sided tape to pressure-sensitive tape - bond durability directly affects real-world reliability. Multi-channel parallel testing and chamber-mountable aging simulate how holding performance changes under different service conditions.

Designed for tape holding-durability evaluation - standard weights plus 8 parallel channels with automatic holding-time recording.
