Adhesives

Adhesive Testing Equipment

A wide array of adhesives is used as a bonding agent for composites. Therefore, they need to be tested adhesion before a product can be used.

Adhesion testing is often associated with adhesives, tape, sealants, laminates, electronics, cosmetics, medical device packaging, general packaging seal strength and applications where bond strength measurement is critical for research and quality control applications.

Labthink provides testing machines for mostof these tests in accordance with various standards:

  • ISO 4587 -- Adhesives -- Determination oftensile lap-shear strength
  • ISO 8510 -- Adhesives -- Peel test for aflexible-bonded-to-rigid test specimen assembly
  • ASTM D1002 -- Standard Test Method forApparent Shear Strength of Single-Lap-Joint Adhesively Bonded Metal Specimensby Tension Loading
  • ASTM D3165 -- Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Adhesives in Shear by Tension Loading
  • ASTM D3330 -- Standard Test Method for Peel Adhesion of Pressure Sensitive Tape
  • ASTM D3654 -- Standard Test Methods for Shear Adhesion of Pressure Sensitive Tapes
  • ASTM D904 -- Standard Test Method fo rComparison of Bond Strength or Ply Adhesion of Similar Laminates Made from Flexible Materials
