mm per minute the test machine displaying the value of the adhesion force at the end of the test a mean value is calculated which represents the adhesion strength to steel this value is printed out with the force n that is required for peeling off the adhesive tape from the steel plate for a sample width of 25 mm in addition to the adhesion strength the resistance to high temperatures is a further characteristic of the quality of an adhesive tape the adhesive with a high initial adhesion strength advantageously exhibits a temperature resistance of u2267 70 u00b0 c and the adhesive with a high final adhesion strength a temperature resistance of u2267 100 u00b0 c the adhesive with a high initial adhesion strength is advantageously a synthetic rubber adhesive preferably a styrene isoprene styrene rubber and the adhesive with a high final adhesion strength is advantageously an acrylate adhesive preferably an acrylate adhesive based on 2 ethylacrylate the substrate of the adhesive tape advantageously consists of closed cell foamed ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer this substrate is advantageously film coated on both sides with a non foamed polyethylene film advantageously the adhesive tape possesses a separation film on at least one of the sides of the substrate coated with adhesive.
