Adhesion measurement

By testing adhesion during the coating process, you can assess the bonding strength between the substrate and the coating, as well as between multiple successive layers (e.g., paint layers).

importance of adhesion measurement

Good adhesion of paint or coating is crucial for both protection and aesthetics. Poor adhesion can lead to flaking, corrosion, and costly repairs. Adhesion measurement ensures that the coating properly bonds to the substrate and meets quality standards.

methods for testing adhesion

The most common method for adhesion testing is the cross-cut test, where the coating is cut through with defined, perpendicular cuts that intersect. Loose edges and flakes are then removed, and the damage pattern is visually assessed according to applicable standards. This provides a quick and reliable evaluation of the coating's adhesion strength.

Using proper adhesion measurement equipment helps prevent coating failures and ensures a long-lasting surface treatment that protects against corrosion and wear.
