Adhesive Testing

Secure your reputation with Industrial Physics

Check your adhesives, bonds, coatings and adhesive tapes are fit for purpose, with a little help from our advanced adhesive testing machines and services. With our high-quality test and inspect solutions, you’ll be able to check whether your adhesives are set to endure the challenges of your supply chain.  

A full suite of adhesive test and inspect solutions

Evaluate the long-term reliability and durability of your adhesives. Assess everything from surface tension, surface energy and printability through to rates of adhesion, hardness, stiffness, tensile strength, thickness, impact, friction, and thermal shrinkage. 

We can help you test the tackiness of your adhesive tapes as well as show you how your glues, paints, and coatings will perform when exposed to the elements. How is this achieved? Our range of innovative environmental and corrosion testing chambers simulate the challenges of your supply chain and the climate, allowing you to accurately assess the suitability of your adhesives and materials.  

Adhesion testing materials

We manufacture a wide range of popular adhesion test kits to measure the adhesion of coatings applied on metal, wood, concrete, or composite materials. Whether you’re checking if a label will be adequately bonded to a food can or you’re determining the efficiency of steel coating in a construction project or need a quick and easy adhesive tape test, we can help. 

For example, the PosiTest Adhesion Tester quickly and efficiently measures adhesion of coatings applied on metal, wood, concrete and similar substrates in the lab or out on site, while the durable Lab Master Release & Adhesion Tester 80-91 is ideal for measuring the release strength of labels and the peel strength of pressure sensitive adhesives. 

Meeting adhesive testing standards

When you’re testing adhesives, you want to know that your methods will help you adhere to current regulations and standards. We understand that these can change from industry to industry and our expertise in a whole range of sectors ensures we’re well placed to help you identify and meet the required testing standards, no matter what your area.  

From tests for internal bond strength like ISO 16260 and TAPPI T 569 through to coefficient of friction standard methods like ASTM D 1894, we’ve got the adhesive testing machine to help.  

Secure your reputation with Industrial Physics

Not only are we here to help you find the right adhesion testing solution for the job, but we can also help you with installation too. We can even offer training and ongoing maintenance, so you can be confident you’re getting everything you should out of your test and inspect solution.
