Adhesion and bond strength tests

For lacquers, paints, coatings or adhesives, wetting and adhesion to substrates is a decisive quality criterion. We test the bond strength of coating and adhesive systems in order to determine suitable application-specific material combinations.

We search for suitable joining and testing methods for adhesive bonding processes, provide you with contacts and carry out preliminary investigations for suitability testing. Our independent consulting service includes practical and theoretical adhesive technology feasibility and assistance in integrating the adhesive technology method into your process according to your requirements and specifications. Before investing in a new adhesive system/material change, a detailed investigation of the possibilities and limitations of the process is recommended.
