Torque Performance

Threaded assemblies are commonplace in machinery construction. Their functional reliability hinges on torque performance, which can be impacted by tension release or self-loosening assemblies. 

We test the effectiveness of our threadlocking adhesives to restrict movement in these assemblies and prevent loosening. This gives you the breakaway value, and remaining resistance after the breakaway of each threadlocker, to help you choose a suitable solution.

Environmental Performance

The environment adhesives are exposed to can impact their performance. Our environmental testing of bonded parts assesses the effectiveness of our adhesive products when exposed to various moisture levels, temperatures and chemicals. Learn how these tests determine the longevity and endurance capabilities of bonds to help you choose the right adhesive for your applications.

Shear Strength

Determine the structural integrity of a bond between two surfaces with our shear strength product testing. Shear strength tests establish how well the bonds in your application can withstand pressure. This can help you pick the right adhesive product for bonds in your process, depending on the stress levels they’re likely to face.
