- the Shear Adhesion Failure Temperature (SAFT) test is designed to give an indication of the short-term heat resistance under defined conditions, such as loads and temperature increase.
- the SAFT test is carried out in an air circulating oven equipped with an electro-mechanical device monitoring a stepwise increase of the temperature. Inside the oven, supports are attached to the side walls on which six aluminium racks can be placed under an angle of 2°. These racks support 6 metal or glass plates onto which the tape samples will be applied. These plates rest against a narrow ridge in which 6 slots are cut; the free part of the coated film on which the weights are hung, passes along these slots.
- One end of the strip is centred and stuck partially onto a glass plate; the other end of the strip is held so that it does not make contact with the plate but is positioned below.
- the strip is pressed firmly against the glass plate avoiding entrapment of air bubbles.
- the adhered part of the strip is cut at 1" of the glass edge.
- the surface is then 25.4 mm x 25.4 mm (1 inch 2 ) .
- the test specimens are stored for 24 hours.
- the racks with the samples are installed in the oven and weights of 500 or 1000 grams are hung to the free end of the strip and clamped with "Hofmann" hose clamps .
- weights are initially supported by a base plate which can move up and downwards by means of a "lab jack". Just before the start of the test, the base plate is moved downwards so that the weights now hang freely above the micro or photo-electrical switches. These switches are connected to a counter. The temperature in the oven is displayed on a digital thermometer . When a strip falls, the weight falls down on the micro switch and the timer is stopped. When the time to failure is known, the temperature at which failure occurred can be read off from the calculated time/temperature diagram. The SAFT value is the average of two temperatures recorded with two samples.
- compositions for use in packaging tapes were prepared as described herein before, from one styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer composition according to the invention (D) and, for comparison, two styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer compositions not according to the invention (E and F) , as listed m the following tables.
- the polyisoprene block of the diblock copolymer of composition F had an average apparent molecular weight of less than 80%, whereas m composition E the diblock content was greater than 25 parts by weight.

- HMV Hot Melt Viscosity
- the low Hot Melt Viscosity leaves scope for even improving upon the adhesive properties of the formulation. It belongs to the skill of the skilled adhesive for ulator to select appropriate formulations for improving adhesive properties whilst somewhat increasing the Hot Melt Viscosity.
- the Hot Melt Viscosity in adhesive formulations is not more than 80 Pa.s at
