The Elcometer 510 Automatic Pull-Off Adhesion Tester accurately measures the strength of the bond between the coating and the substrate. Hand-held and waterproof rugged design. Intuitive & easy to use menu structure in multiple languages.
Pull Off Adhesion is a simple to use, quantitative range giving a definitive adhesion value, ideal for the laboratory or field on flat or curved substrate application. Tensile Dollies (or stubs) are glued to the coating and, when the adhesive has cured, the force required to pull the coating off the surface is measured.
When testing coatings on low bond strength substrates such as concrete, wood or other fibrous materials, a larger surface area of dolly (50mm) is required to provide accurate, repeatable and reproducible results.
Using the smaller area dolly (10mm) on tiny parts or curved surfaces ensures accurate and consistent results.
