Your needs : to analyze an industrial adhesive or to characterize a defect found in a regular or industrial adhesive
What is an industrial adhesive used for ?
An adhesive is a bonding agent used in industrial manufacturing processes to assemble different metallic or plastic parts together. The efficiency of an adhesive is directly linked to its composition, it must therefore meet certain criteria :
- Resistance to traction and movement
- Resistance to outside constraints (joint seals) over time
- Cure time optimization based on industrial processes
Why analyze an adhesive or an industrial adhesive ?
Chemical analysis of an adhesive can be useful for various reasons :
- To verify that an adhesive is compliant with safety data sheets
- To analyze its chemical composition
- To study its behavior in any given conditions
- To study a defect or product failure following the application of an adhesive
Analysis and characterization of an adhesive can be needed after a defect is found in the way a product is assembled (adhesive problems, disbonding, trace residues…) Analytical methods allow for the origin of the defect to be characterized and to determine whether it is due to the composition of the adhesive or the state of the product’s surface.
Assistance from an analytical laboratory will allow you to ensure that your products are in compliance with relevant standards.
