Chemicals & Adhesives

Materials like coatings and sealants, as well as bonding agents, are very common in industries in the chemicals and adhesives sector, which involve packaging, construction, aerospace, and automotive. In such applications, formulation is not only considered for the performance but also for the way the material performs in real-life conditions. Their reliability and safety will rely on their capability to sustain the adhesion, not separate, and work under identical conditions in the long run.

The peeling or separating products should follow a controlled and predictable way of doing so to ensure that they will be useful during usage. Simultaneously, materials that are supposed to behave structurally are supposed to be considered in terms of adhesion and cohesion properties at the same time when they fail and when they lose mass. This makes mechanical testing a very important procedure in the verification of product performance and durability.

Presto Stantest offers accuracy in the peel and pull-off testing with great software control, which allows analysis of the material behavior correctly and repeatedly. These systems provide full control over the parameters of the tests and provide users with the opportunity to simulate the real application conditions and capture high-resolution data. These capabilities are used to understand enhanced aspects of bonding strength, failure modes, and general performance of the material in general.

We have equipment that would be applicable in a variety of applications, like high-performance coatings used in the aerospace industry, catalyst carriers, self-adhesive labels that are used on a day-to-day basis, and so on. All the solutions will be created to provide consistency, accuracy, and operation simplicity in the different testing conditions.

In order to uphold acceptance and compliance all over the world, our equipment facilitates testing to conform to segmented standards that are internationally recognized and accepted, like ASTM, BS EN, ISO, DIN, CEN, AFNOR, FINAT, PSTC, and TLMI, in a manner that ensures material specifications are both industry- and customer-compliant.
