ASTM D3359 Updated – Adhesion Test

ASTM D3359, Standard Test Methods for Rating Adhesion by Tape Test, has just been updated.  The new 2017 Edition is available now from Document Center Inc.  You can get a single user copy in either paper format or for pdf download.  All ASTM standards can be provided as part of our Standards Online cloud service as well.

ASTM D3359 is a widely-used ASTM test method.  It allows you to determine the adhesion of a coating film to a metallic substrate.  This is done by applying and removing pressure sensitive tape over cuts made in the film.

The last edition of ASTM D3359 was in 2009, with an editorial correction from 2010.  So it’s been a while!  The new 2017 Edition is a major revision.  Even the title has been changed.  In order to really spot all the changes, you may want to purchase the redline edition.  With this option, you’ll get a clean copy of the new 2017 release as well as a copy of the old 2009 Corrected Edition that’s the “redline.”  All the changes are clearly marked.

The committee has also noted all the changes at the end of the publication.  When I say extensive, I mean it.  22 specific items are noted in the list.  Changes occur from the scope paragraph to the Annexes.  There is scarcely a section that remains untouched.  (Looks like only Section 7 and Section 10 are not modified).

If you use the ASTM D3359, you’re going to need a copy of the new Edition.  Head to the Document Center Inc. webstore at www.document-center.com.  You can search for and order standards here.  Or use this link to go directly to the order page for ASTM D3359 2017 Edition.
