TESTING & VALIDATION

NECAL can conduct many of the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) tests needed to optimize product design and performance validation. NECAL also relies upon third-party laboratories for more in-depth testing as needed.  In addition, NECAL works with customers, engineers and machine shops to custom design test equipment/fixtures to simulate real world applications.

NECAL’s standard test capabilities includes:

• Release Liner Peel Force and Qualification
• Peel Adhesion Force at 90° & 180° angle(PSTC-101)
• 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
