Expertise following an adhesion problem

When talking about surface analysis, it is important to understand what the surface is. Indeed, the surface of a material is a vulnerable zone where many interactions with its environment take place. It conditions, by its specific characteristics, the global performances of materials. It can also impact its reliability, its solidity but also its power of adhesion to a coating. 

To characterize the adhesion of a material, mechanical tests (peel test, bending test, shear test, tensile test…) have been developed. Other tests such as blistering, squaring or indentation tests have also been standardized. 

However, during production, storage or during the application of a material, you are faced with unexplained adhesion problems. For this, the support of a laboratory may be necessary.
