Stable Micro Systems has a wide range of solutions for the purpose of holding down a product in order to be able to successfully measure its adhesive properties. The success of the measurement depends on the means of being able to hold the sample in order to pull away from it and measure the ‘withdrawal’. The distance the probe needs to be pulled away from the product before the two surfaces are separated will also indicate its viscoelastic behaviour, and depending upon the product, its ‘tailing’ or ‘stringiness’ characteristic. The higher the force to separate these surfaces, the more adhesive is the product. Adhesiveness ('Stickiness') is most commonly measured with a cylinder probe, which is pressed (application of compression), onto the surface of the sample after which the force to pull the probe off it is measured.
An adhesion test measures the adhesive characteristics of a product by measuring the forces to separate the product from the test surface which it comes into contact with. World leaders in texture analysis and volume measurement FIND OUT WHYĪdhesion is the force that resists the separation of two bodies in contact.
