Kinesiology Tapes #2 – Wet Adhesion with the TA-303 Tack Fixture

Industry:

Adhesives

Materials

Medical Devices

Attributes measured:

adhesiveness

tack

peak adhesive force

total work of adhesion

Background

This is the second in a series of application studies on kinesiology tapes. For the first study in this series, see here. This study builds on using the same test techniques as the initial study on adhesive tack by evaluating how the previously measured tack metrics change when the bond is made in wet conditions. The same twelve brands of kinesiology tapes were evaluated, which were: Kinesio Tex Gold, KT Tape, KT Tape Pro, Master Muscle, Muscle Fix, Dr Anison Muscle Tape, MyTape, Physix, Rock Tape, SB Sox, Spartan Tape, and Therabrand. For the next study in this series, see here.
