Destructive testing methods
We carry out destructive testing of adhesive joints and materials to objectively assess their mechanical properties, long-term reliability, and failure mechanisms. We offer a wide range of shear, tensile, torsional, bending, and peel tests, including specialized methods designed for sandwich structures and for evaluating the stability of bonded joints under long-term static loading.
An integral part of the testing process is the expert evaluation of the failure mode of the bonded joint, which provides key information on adhesion quality, cohesion, and surface preparation.
