Epoxy Floor Adhesion Test

Read to find out more about prepping concrete for a urethane coating.

Epoxy floor adhesion test.

What the taber c 17 test does is to take a coating and apply an abrasion wheel with a certain weight on it and spin it at a certain rpm for a certain amount of time. At thermalchem we promise to provide the best resources for your epoxy flooring. Adhesive mixing the test dolly should be glued to the surface using a suitable adhesive. Epoxy could not be separated from concrete.

Cleaning your epoxy floor. The coating stuck extremely well causing the concrete to fail. The test determines the greatest perpendicular force in tension that a surface area can bear before a plug of material is detached. Our epoxy wicks into the concrete and is much better than our competitors.

Operators and different adhesion test procedures. The adhesion pully test demonstrated that this coating pulled the most concrete from the floor. During adhesion testing with elcometer pull tester top layer of concrete slab pulled off with no delamination of our epoxies. Different adhesion rating systems were devised and evaluated.

All other test methods are just marketing gobble d gook. Anything under 300 psi means it can be separated from your concrete floor. The force required to pull the dolly off or the force the dolly. Typically a two pack epoxy adhesive is supplied with adhesion test units.

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. 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. Failure will occur along the weakest plane within the system comprised of the loading fixture glue coating system and substrate and will be exposed. Typical epoxy adhesion ratings are 250 psi or less.

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. 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. 1 1 this test method covers procedures for evaluating the pull off adhesion strength of a coating on concrete.

By use of a portable pull off adhesion tester a load is increasingly applied to the surface until the dolly is pulled off. Elcometer adhesion puller was attached to the adhesion pulleys and the test was run. The industry standard epoxy flooring test method is called the taber c 17 abrasion test.
