Why a tensile test is essential
Good adhesion between a finish coat or coating and the substrate is critical to the durability of a structure. Poor adhesion can lead to loosening, damage and additional maintenance costs. A pull-off test verifies that the adhesion meets the required quality. This prevents problems and extends the life of materials and structures.
How we perform pull-off tests
Our specialists perform pull-off tests to accurately determine the adhesion strength of coatings and finishing layers. This requires specific knowledge and experience, especially with different material types and applications.
We work according to standardized methods and measure the force required to pull a layer loose from the substrate. Based on this, we assess the quality of adhesion.
