Heat-fail temperature establishes a limiting temperature above which the adhesive is not to be exposed in service under shear load.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method is intended to determine the temperature at which specimens bonded with hot melt adhesive delaminate under static load in shear.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
