Adhesion Tester
An adhesion tester measures the force required to detach a coating from a substrate. Often called a pull-off adhesion tester or peel tester, an adhesion tester applies a large amount of force to evaluate a coating's bond strength. When measuring peel force or adhesiveness, the nature of the substrate's surface plays a significant role. However, a high-quality adhesion tester features a self-aligning measuring head to compensate for any surface irregularities.
