What are the different adhesion tests performed by Ablestik?
Ablestik typically performs the following adhesion testing as a relative comparison between adhesives on different substrates: die shear strength, lap shear strength, stud pull strength, and peel strength. Die shear strength measures the amount of shear force needed to cause an adhesive and/or cohesive failure between bonded die to a test substrate, where the force is applied parallel to the entire adhesive plane. Lap shear strength is the measure of the amount of shear force needed to cause an adhesive and/or cohesive failure between two bonded panels, where the force is applied parallel to the entire adhesive plane. Stud pull strength is the amount of tensile force needed to cause an adhesive and/or cohesive failure, where the force is applied perpendicular to the entire adhesive plane. Peel strength is the amount of peel force needed to cause an adhesive and/or cohesive failure. The peel force is applied to a narrow section of the adhesive typically resulting in lower adhesion value
