Adhesion Testers

Adhesion testers, both manual and automatic, measure the adhesion strength of coatings used on metals, woods, concrete and similar substrate materials. This strength can be determined by the analysis of the bond present between the substrate and the coating, or between the different coating layers if present. The pull off adhesion test measures the force of the pull required to remove the substrate from the coating, whereas the push off adhesion test measures the pressure required to push the coating away from the substrate.
