What It Is

Adhesion is the force that resists the separation of two bodies in contact. An adhesion test measures the force needed to separate a product from a test surface. Adhesiveness or stickiness is commonly measured with a cylinder probe, which is pressed onto the surface of the sample after which the force to pull the probe off it is measured. The higher the force to separate these surfaces, the more adhesive is the product. The distance the probe needs to be pulled away from the product indicates its viscoelastic behaviour and, depending on the product, its ‘tailing’ or ‘stringiness’ as well.

Measurement success depends on the ability to hold the sample in order to pull away from it and measure the withdrawal. Texture Technologies has many solutions for this. The operator can control the data acquisition rate, probe separation rate, probe material and a controlled force to apply to the sample.
