What Can Element Offer You For Peel Strength Testing?

Key tests offered

We adhere products to test materials and then mechanically pull them apart to quantify the strength of the adhesive bond. Some specific tests we offer include: 

  • Maximum peel force measurement 
  • Variable angle peel testing 
  • Environmental condition testing 
  • Accelerated aging tests  

Methods and solutions offered

To ensure real-world performance, we replicate real-world peeling forces. We carry out controlled mechanical testing at specified angles and speeds, simulating various different environmental conditions including temperature and humidity variations. This allows us to provide you with detailed reporting of bond strength and failure analysis.
