Adhesive Product Physical Characterisation

Adhesiveness (often referred to by consumers as ‘stickiness’) is key to perceived product quality, performance and effectiveness.

It can be influenced by many factors, including temperature, liner material, moisture level and repeated use. By matching adhesive performance to functional and consumer requirements, manufacturers can identify the ideal adhesive composition.

Stable Micro Systems has optimised test procedures and equipment to ensure adhesiveness measurement repeatability.

Data captured during the tests is presented as real-time graphs and allows detailed analysis of the compressive and tensile stress-strain behaviour of the adhesive.

A number of common and established adhesive tests can be carried out using Stable Micro Systems’ TA.XTplus texture analyser and are presented in the video below.
