Standards
DIN EN 14022 is a national standard that’s used to inspect the pot life (working life) of multicomponent adhesives.
DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.), a German standardization body, has developed the use, rules, guidelines and characteristics of around 30,000 standards. The DIN EN 14022 standard specifies five methods that will help you with your adhesive testing.
The five adhesive testing methods outlined in DIN EN 14022 determine the amount of time adhesives can be used in specific circumstances. It has a particular focus on the rheology testing of your adhesive sample and its rate of reaction
This DIN testing standard can also be used for assessing non-structural adhesives. Because of the different properties of the individual multi-component systems, like rheology or viscosity and velocity of hardening, not all methods can be applied to each system with the same suitability.
So, how can Industrial Physics improve your DIN EN 14022 adhesion testing?
TQC Sheen Drying Time Recorder
Brought to you from TQC Sheen, our specialist paint testing brand, our drying time recorder was designed to evaluate the stages of film drying and curing process using the Beck Koller method.
The improved time frame of 1-minute to 200 hours enables you to measure a wide variety of compounds such as adhesives, nail polish, wall paint and waterborne coatings.
TQC Sheen Drying time recorder for TQC Sheen Automatic Film Applicators
This helpful drying time recorder is an option you can use to supplement your adhesion testing using our TQC Automatic Film Applicators.
This device allows you to accurately define the drying time of various types of coatings within the time range of one minute to 48 hours.
We’ve learnt a thing or two about creating the perfect adhesion test over the decades. We like to share our knowledge and will help you to answer your questions about any aspect of adhesive testing. Across the knowledgebase section of our website we publish lots of blogs on related subjects.
