What is BS 5131-1.2 - Methods of test for Footwear and footwear materials about?
BS 5131-1.2 describes a method for measuring the strength, in terms of resistance to peeling, of a bond between two sheet materials that have been bonded together.
The method described in BS 5131-1.2 is applicable to a great variety of combinations of upper materials, soling materials and adhesives, where at least one of the adherends is flexible.
NOTE 1 The purpose of the method is to test joints rather than to compare adhesives. As a consequence, unlike BS 5131-1.1, no recommendations are given concerning appropriate adherends. In BS 5131-1.1 the two adherends are subjected to a constant separating force, and therefore in principle the test specimen may remain intact. In this Section, the t...
