Testing for adhesive

Test methods for the characterization of flow properties of hot melt adhesives by capillary rheometer. Properties of pressure sensitive films including visco-elastic and stress relaxation properties that provide information on time-dependent and long term behavior, Failure characteristics such as lap shear and butt joint data that can be used to model cohesive elements in computer simulations. Cure characteristics of reactive adhesives such as epoxy, silicones using dynamical mechanical methods and DSC.

Get Started

1
Share your requirements

Tell us about the material, application, environment, and any method, standard, specimen, or conditioning constraints.

2
Confirm the approach

We’ll align the appropriate method, specimen requirements, and deliverables to your objectives, then provide a quote and test plan.

3
Submit your PO and materials

Send the purchase order and arrange delivery of materials or specimens so the program can move into scheduling and execution.

4
Receive your results

You’ll receive an engineering test report with digital data delivery, along with any agreed raw data or method-appropriate outputs.

Typical turnaround for most testing is five business days. Longer-duration programs may require more time.
