Peel testing is one of the most widely used methods for assessing adhesive strength, especially in tapes, films, and flexible materials. However, most test machines and standards are designed for large-format specimens and overlook the fine details that define performance in smaller applications.
FIBROPeel was developed to close that gap. It enables sensitive, repeatable testing of narrow adhesive samples (e.g. 5 mm width)—providing high-resolution force data and synchronized visual tracking in one compact system. This is especially important when working with medical patches, microstructured adhesives, or electronics where the bonding interface is small but critical.
To demonstrate how FIBROPeel reveals the nuances of adhesive behavior, we tested four different samples under identical peel conditions. Each test was recorded in real time, showing how the bond line evolves during detachment.
Despite using the same peel speed and geometry, the samples behave very differently—ranging from smooth detachment to progressive failure with visible micro-slip. This level of detail is hard to detect without synchronized visual and force measurement.
Each video is paired with a force–displacement plot that highlights mechanical response in detail. You can see not only the average peel strength, but also oscillations, plateaus, and sudden transitions in force—all linked to what’s happening at the interface.
This type of fine-scale signal would be drowned out on traditional machines. With FIBROPeel, you can correlate every curve fluctuation with the exact failure point in the video.
FIBROPeel allows you to test adhesives at the actual scale of use—not oversized or generalized approximations. By combining compact mechanics, sensitive force tracking, and visual correlation, it gives you better data, faster. Whether you're validating a surface treatment or comparing tape types, accurate testing at small scale leads to better design decisions.
FIBROPeel is built for precision adhesive testing—from concept to quality control.
