BS EN ISO 8510-2

BS EN ISO 8510-2 is an internationally recognized standard for testing 180-degree peeling resistance of an adhesive bond between two material types—flexible and rigid. The standard can be used by manufacturers to investigate the adherence, peel resistance, and separation characteristics of adhesive bonds in automotive trims, footwear, packaging laminates, textiles, medical products, labels, films, and electronic assemblies. The stress at the peeling point occurs at 180 degrees, which is a good choice for highly flexible materials like film, foil, and laminate. The test supports adhesive quality verification, supplier comparison, material development, process validation, and production quality analysis. Presto Stantest offers advanced peel and tensile testing systems suitable for BS EN ISO 8510-2 testing with accurate force measurement, controlled peel speeds, stable gripping fixtures, and software-based result analysis for laboratory and industrial applications.

This standard specifies a method for determining peel resistance using a 180-degree peel configuration where one adherend is flexible and the other is rigid. During testing, the flexible material is peeled back over itself while the rigid substrate remains fixed under controlled loading conditions. Testing is performed at a constant jaw separation speed, and the average peel force is calculated over a specified peel length from the force-displacement curve. The method also requires identification of failure type, including adhesive failure, cohesive failure, or substrate failure. The standard applies to bonded assemblies prepared under controlled specimen dimensions, conditioning conditions, and testing procedures.

BS EN ISO 8510-2 is commonly followed for studying peel strength and adhesive bond durability of flexible-to-rigid bonded assemblies used in industrial and commercial products. Presto Stantest provides advanced peel testing systems with stable fixtures, precise load control, controlled testing speeds, and software-based reporting solutions suitable for adhesive testing and quality control laboratories.
