General Force Measurement
Adherence Testing

Adherence testing is the bond strength measurement of a coating to a substrate.  Adherence testing is often associated with laminates, adhesives, electronics and applications where bond strength measurement is critical for research and quality control applications.  Stud pull coating adherence testing is a very common test used in microelectronic coatings or other forms of "thin film" application on rigid substrates.

Adherence testing may involve Chatillon^® handheld force gauges, where manual testing is involved, or Chatillon^® test stands and Nexygen™ software when more comprehensive testing results are required.
