Testing of adhesives
Adhesives are tested to ensure their quality, safety, reliability and suitability for specific applications. Testing is essential in many industries and applications, as it ensures that adhesives meet the expected requirements and standards. An essential reason for testing adhesives is to ensure their adhesion and strength. Adhesive strength is one of the most important properties of an adhesive, and testing ensures that it bonds the desired materials securely and permanently under various conditions, such as stress, temperature or humidity.
Last but not least, adhesives are tested for their long-term durability, for example by means of aging or stress tests, which show how long an adhesive retains its properties under certain conditions. This is particularly important for applications that require a high level of durability. Overall, the testing of adhesives is an important step in ensuring performance, safety and suitability for the intended applications, thus ensuring customer satisfaction and regulatory compliance.
Typical types of adhesives for plastics
They are known for their fast curing and strong adhesion – ideal for applications that require high strength.
They are flexible and resistant to moisture and chemicals, making them ideal for applications that require flexibility and impact resistance.
Hot-melt or melt adhesives are adhesives that are applied by heating and then cooling quickly to form a strong bond.
They offer excellent strength and chemical resistance and are often used for structural applications.
They cure very quickly and provide strong adhesion to a wide variety of plastics.
