Adhesion strength testing measures how strongly a coating, adhesive, laminate, film, or bonded layer remains attached to its substrate under controlled force.
These testers are used in paint and coating, packaging, paper, plastic, textile, adhesive tape, automotive, construction material, and quality control laboratories.
The right tester depends on the material, test method, force range, sample size, required accuracy, and whether the test is performed in a lab or on-site.
Pull-off testing measures tensile force perpendicular to the surface, while peel strength testing measures the force needed to separate bonded materials at a defined angle.
Yes. Depending on the model and fixture, the machines can evaluate coatings, paints, laminates, adhesive tapes, films, labels, and bonded assemblies.
Yes. Apple Electroniks provides guidance for machine selection, installation, operation, calibration support, and after-sales service for adhesion and strength testing equipment.
