Push Off Adhesion Tester
From the largest man-made structures to the smallest household appliances, most manufactured products have a protective or cosmetic coating. Premature failure of this coating can, at the very least, result in costly penalties or rework. A Push Off Adhesion Tester can be used to test for these failures. Adhesion testing after the coating process will quantify the strength of the bond between substrate and coating, or between different coating layers or the cohesive strength of some substrates. Routine testing is used as part of inspection and maintenance procedures to help detect potential coating failures.

The Elcometer 108 Hydraulic Adhesion Tester is an extremely versatile Type III adhesion gauge which can be used for many adhesion requirements. Adhesion tests can be made on flat or curved (concave and convex) surfaces.

The Elcometer 508 Push Off Adhesion Tester is an extremely versatile Type III* adhesion gauge which can be used for many adhesion testing requirements. Tests can be made on flat or curved (concave and convex) surfaces.
Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of the Push Off Adhesion Tester?
The Push Off Adhesion Tester is used to test the adhesion strength of coatings to ensure the bond between the substrate and coating is strong, thereby preventing costly failures.
What are the advantages of using a Push Off Adhesion Tester?
The advantages include fast cure time adhesives which are ideal for curved surfaces.
What are the limitations of Push Off Adhesion Testers?
High forces exerted by the gauge may cause thin substrates to deform.
