No. 236 Tackiness Checker, HTC-1

The Tackiness Checker is a convenient, easy-to-use instrument that was developed to allow on-site testing of the tackiness of rubber components.  This instrument may also be used to test the tackiness of adhesive tapes, depending on the application.  In the molding process of tires and belts, where components including rubber and reinforcement materials are bonded in multiple layers and vulcanized, it is very important to check the component tackiness before the forming process is completed.  The Tackiness Checker HTC-1 provides a simple and portable method for accurate, on-site testing.
