EXPLORE OUR LABORATORY
Our laboratory is temperature controlled to industry standards and is fully equipped to test bond strength, holding power and tack; high and low temperature performance, and resistance to weathering, ageing and UV light. We also develop and conduct customer-specific tests:
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Accelerated weathering machine
Our accelerated weathering machine is used to prove the long term durability of our products for outdoor applications, often on our customers’ material.
Electronic tensile tester
An electronic tensile tester is used to measure bond strength to various materials, and release liner values. Much of our adhesion testing is on customer's own materials.
Measuring surface energy
Measuring surface energy can be important in determining the correct product for the application.
Long-term shear tests
Long-term shear tests provide the best reassurance or tape reliability…
Shear is the measurement that probably gives us the most information - certainly as a predictor of long term performance. All pressure-sensitive adhesives under stress will slowly flow with time, particularly at elevated temperatures. Most companies use shear only as a short term Quality Control test - testing for just a matter of hours. We test shear long term, sometimes for many months, and at different temperatures, so we really know that our products will perform long term.
