1 Scope

This document specifies the method of the peel test using a tensile testing machine to evaluate the adhesion strength of metallic coatings on plastic substrates under controlled temperatures. It also specifies the designations of the peel test results. The designation consists of the adhesion of metallic coatings to the substrate and test temperature, as well as the substrate material and the principal component, manufacturing process and thickness of the metallic coatings.
