Meaning and use
5.1 These test methods are tools for development and quality assurance. Given a specific pressure-sensitive label and liner and a minimum requirement for the maximum stripping value required to remove this liner from the label, test data can be used in conjunction with acceptance criteria.

ASTM D5375/D5375M-2019 Standard Test Method for High Speed Removal of Liner from Pressure Sensitive Label Paper

Step 1: Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the measurement of the adhesion of the stripping pad to the pressure sensitive adhesive label.

1.2 These test methods provide a way to evaluate the adhesion uniformity of a given type of pressure-sensitive label to the liner. Evaluation can be between sheets or rolls, between sheets or rolls, or between production batches.

1.3 Changes in weight of label backing, liner, liner stripping coating, adhesive and adhesive coating affect response. Therefore, these methods cannot be used to identify the specific causes of non-uniformity.

1.4 These test methods may not apply to labels that have a relatively stiff backing or stiffer lining, or that exhibit high stretchability at low forces. These properties will result in a high degree of variability in the test response, but this is not a true indication of the true nature of the adhesive.

1.5 Values expressed in SI or inch-pound units should be treated as standards separately. The values specified in each system may not be exactly the same; Therefore, each system needs to be used independently and the values cannot be combined in any way.

1.6 This standard is not intended to address all safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental specifications and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

1.7 This international standard is based on internationally recognized standardization principles established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guidelines and Recommendations issued by the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
