Test Method: SATRA TM101

Surface peel strength of insole materials

May 1993

SCOPE

This method is intended to determine the peel strength of the surface of a material. The method is mainly applicable to fibreboard and non-woven footwear insole materials, but can also be used with any type of semi-rigid sheet material.

PRINCIPLE

One surface of a test specimen is bonded to a piece of footwear upper leather with a strong adhesive. The force required to peel the test specimen from the leather, leaving its surface attached to the leather, is measured with a tensile testing machine.
