Describes a method for measuring the resistance to peeling of an adhesive joint between two sheet materials after it is made. This is usually known as the green strength.

This Section describes a method for measuring the resistance to peeling of an adhesive joint between two sheet materials immediately after it is made. This is usually known as the green strength.

The main purpose of the test is to enable the green strength of joints made with various solvent-based adhesives between specific soling and upper materials to be compared. The test can also be used for joints between other materials provided that at least one of them is flexible.

NOTE Adequate green strength is especially important for sole-attaching adhesives during shoe manufacture, as otherwise the sole bond may partially fail cohesively, i.e. within the adhesive film, after leaving the press.
