Exhibits good peel adhesion 180° Peel Adhesion
38 piw 180° Peel Adhesion 1,440 min 21°C Wire Mesh to FR-4 1" x 4" Douglas Fir specimens are bonded with hot melt adhesive using a 1" overlap shear configuration. Bonds are then conditioned for 24 hours at 70°F (22°C), 50% relative humidity before testing. Bonds are subjected to 2 lbs. per square inch load at 100°F (49°C) for 30 minutes. Temperature of the bond line is raised every 30 minutes until failure. Heat resistance recorded is the last temperature prior to bond failure.
