Do you know about Adhesion?

Adhesion is the action or process of adhering to

surface or object.
Or
Process of attachment of a substance to the
surface of another substance.

Note: Adhesion requires energy that can come from chemical

and/or physical linkages, the latter being reversible when enough
energy is applied.
What is an example of adhesion?

• Adhesion of water and Adhesion in adhesives & glues

• Adhesive for bonding structures or racks, glass
windows, roof structures, cabin of vehicles.
See into Picture:
 Types of adhesion & How to measure it.

Types of adhesion:
1. Pull-off adhesion
2. chemical adhesion
3. Dispersive adhesion
4. Diffusive adhesion

Measurement and testing is possible with quality adhesion testers.

Amongst above, Pull-off adhesion testing is widely used to assess
the protective coating process and to determine if a coating is fit
for service in new construction and for repairs to existing
structures.
 Pull-Off Adhesion Gauge

This adhesion tester or gauge is originally manufactured by

Elcometer Limited. Pull-off adhesion gauge is one the best
equipment to measure adhesion in surface coating and
strength of the bonding between the coating and the
substrate.

Features :
1. Automatic hydraulic pump ensures smooth and
continuous pressure application for consistent,
repeatable results

2. Hand-held, waterproof rugged design equivalent to IP64

Continues……

3. Fully adjustable pull rates 0.1-1.4MPa/s (15-203psi) to meet

national and International Standards.

4. User definable measurement range with an accuracy of

±1% of full scale: 10mm dolly: 100MPa / 14400psi, 14.2mm dolly: 50MPa
/ 7200psi, 20mm dolly: 25MPa / 3600psi, 50mm dolly: 4MPa / 580psi.

5. 10, 14.2, 20 and 50mm diameter dolly options.

6. Store up to 60,000 readings with individual pull graphs in up

to 2,500 alpha numerical batches, complete with attribute
failure information.
