Universal testing machines can pull off a layer with a tensile force to test adhesion strength between rubber and flexible substrates.
When testing adhesion between rubber and rigid materials, use a tension or peel procedure and follow ASTM D429 standards.
To determine the tear strength of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber, ISO 34-1 characterizes standards for tests including trouser, angle, and crescent test pieces.
ISO 813 gives a method to test the adhesion strength of rubber attached to rigid materials by stripping a layer from the bond to determine the strength.
