What is a rolling ball tack tester?

The rolling ball tack tester from Presto Testing Instruments is one of the best-selling and easy-to-use testing equipment that lets you test the tack of adhesives. This testing instrument will quantify the ability of an adhesive to quickly adhere to another surface. The instrument is designed based on the balling method, and the primary adhesive property of adhesive tapes could be obtained by observing the adhesive effect that occurred immediately after the rolling ball and adhesive specimen come into contact. It works on a simple working principle where the steel ball is allowed to roll down from a specific starting point on the grooved path inclined at a specific angle to the base of the test platform. The rolling ball attains maximum velocity at touch down and rolls above the tacky surface which retards its motion by virtue of resistance offered by the adhesive.

This testing equipment has been embedded with several amazing features and appropriate technical specifications.
