Epoxy floor adhesion test.

Operators and different adhesion test procedures. 1 1 this test method covers procedures for evaluating the pull off adhesion strength of a coating on concrete. Test results were discussed and analyzed. Big box epoxy did not break.

The coating stuck extremely well causing the concrete to fail. Our epoxy wicks into the concrete and is much better than our competitors. Typically a two pack epoxy adhesive is supplied with adhesion test units. Elcometer adhesion puller was attached to the adhesion pulleys and the test was run.

The test determines the greatest perpendicular force in tension that a surface area can bear before a plug of material is detached. The force required to pull the dolly off or the force the dolly. Failure will occur along the weakest plane within the system comprised of the loading fixture glue coating system and substrate and will be exposed. Implementation a test procedure to evaluate the adhesive strength of the epoxy coating was developed and is recommended for quality control.

Adhesion pulley test a total of five different epoxy primer sealers were tested in the adhesion pulley test. Read to find out more about prepping concrete for a urethane coating. The adhesion pully test demonstrated that this coating pulled the most concrete from the floor. The instructions for this type of adhesive state that the two components resin and hardener should be mixed in equal parts usually equal lengths of both parts.

Different adhesion rating systems were devised and evaluated. In many instances it is necessary and is always advisable to field test the suitability of the substrate for adhesion prior to the actual installation. Typical epoxy adhesion ratings are 250 psi or less. 106 adhesion testing kit vbp 4195 direct to concrete epoxy kit competitor a epoxy kit competitor b epoxy kit competitor c epoxy kit competitor big box epoxy kit concrete mixing materials and application materials.

Epoxy could not be separated from concrete. A more quantitative test for adhesion is the pull off test where a loading fixture commonly called a dolly or stub is affixed by an adhesive to a coating. Adhesive mixing the test dolly should be glued to the surface using a suitable adhesive. Cleaning your epoxy floor.

During adhesion testing with elcometer pull tester top layer of concrete slab pulled off with no delamination of our epoxies. The industry standard epoxy flooring test method is called the taber c 17 abrasion test. Anything under 300 psi means it can be separated from your concrete floor.
