Significance and Use
5.1 Laminates are made by bonding together two or more layers of material or materials, where each layer might be a single or multi-layer material. When the bonding agent is reactive and requires time to reach full performance, the bond strength is typically measured as a green (un-cured) bond and a cured bond. For processes that intentionally create a nonlaminated edge, that edge is generally used to initiate the bond strength measurement. The techniques described in this practice can be used to initiate separation of plies when a non-laminated edge is not present.
Scope
1.1 This practice describes techniques for separating plies of laminates made from flexible materials such as cellulose, paper, plastic film, and foil to enable the measurement of the bond strength or ply adhesion of the laminate. This includes laminates made by various processes: adhesive laminates, extrusion coatings, extrusion laminates, and coextrusions.
