Looking forward to a fantastic future
Structural Adhesives Limited have finished their new Research Lab which is now offering R&D and testing services. Please refer to the following lists of tests we are conducting for clients.
Testing services for adhesives and other polymeric materials
| Property | Standard | Explanation | ||
| Shear Strength | BS ISO 4587:2003 | Typical bond strength tests for adhesives. | ||
| Shear strength at elevated temperature | ASTM D1002-10:2019 | Same as the above but can test the adhesives suitability for different service conditions. | ||
| Youngs Modulus | BS EN ISO 527-2:2012 | Essentially a measure of how stiff a material is. | ||
| Poisson Ratio | measures the deformation of a material parallel and perpendicular to the force. | |||
| Flexural Stress | BS EN ISO 178:2018 | Test of the ability of a material to bend before it fails. | ||
| Flexural Strain | ||||
| Flexural Modulus | ||||
| Peel strength (T-peel) | BS EN ISO 11339:2010 | Test of the forced required to peel (an adhesive) off. | ||
| Peel strength (180°) | BS EN ISO 8510-2:2010 | Same as the above but the substrate is pulled at a different angle. | ||
| Pull off/pull out test for construction (using hydrajaws) | BS EN 1015-12:2016 | Another method of testing strength usually used in the construction industry. |
