Full title and description

Methods of test for single sided and double sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape — Method 1.7: Adhesion — Resistance to static shear load at elevated temperature. This document is the Standards Australia publication AS 2313.1.7-2005 and was reconfirmed (reapproval) in 2016 (R2016).

Abstract

Specifies a laboratory procedure to determine the ability of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes to resist static shear loading when exposed to elevated temperatures. The method describes specimen preparation, conditioning, test apparatus and the procedure to measure time-to-failure or shear retention under a specified dead load at elevated temperature.

Scope

This Standard specifies the method for determining the ability of single-sided and double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to resist shear loading at elevated temperatures. It is intended for laboratory evaluation of shear performance under a constant (dead) load while specimens are held at a defined elevated temperature and humidity where applicable.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of test specimen dimensions and backing/substrate preparation needed for shear testing.
• Specified conditioning and pre‑test environmental requirements (temperature, humidity, conditioning time).
• Apparatus and fixture details to apply and maintain a static shear load at elevated temperature.
• Step‑by‑step test procedure including application of dead load, test temperature and timing until shear failure or for a specified duration.
• Recording, calculation and reporting of time‑to‑failure (or retained shear) and relevant observations.
• Reference to related method selection guidance within the AS 2313 series for choosing appropriate adhesion tests.

Typical use and users

Used by materials test laboratories, quality control and R&D teams in adhesive and tape manufacturing, converters, OEMs and specification writers to verify high‑temperature shear performance of pressure‑sensitive tapes. Typical applications include product development, batch release testing and comparative evaluation when elevated-temperature shear resistance is a performance requirement.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: AS 2313.1.7-2005 is a Standards Australia test method that defines how to measure resistance of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to static shear loading at elevated temperature.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specimen preparation, conditioning, the test fixture and procedure to apply a constant shear load at an elevated temperature and the reporting of time‑to‑failure or retained shear performance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Test laboratories, tape and adhesive manufacturers, R&D, quality assurance teams and OEMs who need validated laboratory data on high‑temperature shear resistance of PSA tapes.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2005 edition was formally reconfirmed in 2016 (R2016) and is recorded as current / reconfirmed by Standards Australia at the time of that notice. Users should check Standards Australia or national sales agents for any newer revisions beyond the 2016 reconfirmation.
