This tester measures shear force rather than time to failure, for a faster and more accurate representation of an adhesive’s ability to resist polymer disentanglement.

ChemInstruments:  This tester measures shear force rather than time to failure, for a faster and more accurate representation of an adhesive’s ability to resist polymer disentanglement. One simple test shows the actual adhesive holding power, reducing the time to collect test data and improving the integrity of the collected data. A data acquisition system simultaneously controls test motion, identifies test forces, stores data and interfaces with the EZ-Lab data management system.
