  • Tack: Quick Stick (PSTC-5) & Loop Tack (PSTC-16)
  • Shear Resistance: Dynamic & Static (PSTC-107)
  • Tensile
  • Elongation
  • Pluck
  • Cleavage (Clamshell)

NECAL’s external test lab capabilities includes:

  • SAFT-Shear Adhesion Failure Temperature (PSTC-17)
  • Elevated Temperature Shear
  • DMA & Rheology
  • FTIR
  • Flammability
  • Others available and in development
