Adhesion testers are generally small, portable instruments measure 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. Adhesion testers are typically fully portable and provide accurate numerical value for coating adhesion.
Regular adhesion testing is used as part of inspection and maintenance procedures to help detect potential coating failures. Its applications are various ranging from steel working to construction. These products are crucial in certifying that solid and metallic structures are suitable for labor and residential purposes.
