Résumé : |
Materials testing machines provide a powerful way of evaluating adhesive performance. A wide range of adhesive properties can be measured accurately and reproducibly by applying tensile or compression forces in a controlled manner to the sample under test. The large number of different adhesive products, substrates, and applications--along with the adhesion behavior of products such as creams, gels, paints, and varnishes--all require different adhesive tests. It is therefore not surprising that some 90 international standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO, FINAT, etc.) are recognized for adhesives testing across the myriad industries in which adhesives are used. |
