Provide Stronger Laminated Packages To Customers With Peel Strength Test

The peel strength of the laminates used in different industries is a very important aspect that affects the efficiency of the laminates in the application where they are used.  The laminates are prepared by joining two or more layers of different materials with different properties. For example in the packaging industries, the laminates are prepared for manufacturing multilayered packaging. To ensure that the laminates stay at their place, it is essential that they have appropriate peel adhesion strength. In order to ensure the best strength, the peel strength test is conducted on the laminates. The test is commenced with the help of a peel strength tester.

In the peel strength test, a sample is taken and the adhesive portion of the laminate is delaminated from one end. Once delaminated, one end of the specimen is placed in one member of the grip and the second end is placed in the second member of the grip. After that, the grips are taken apart. This applies a tensile force on the specimen causing it to peel. The force applied to the specimen is recorded in the load indicator.  This force applied to the specimen gives the peel strength of the specimen.

With the help of the peel strength tester, the manufacturers of laminated packaging materials can easily determine the peel strength of the products in different conditions and then ensure the best products delivered to the cutworms. 

Use of Salt Spray Tester in Automobile Industries

The corrosion of metals is one of the most prevalent problems in industrial as well as domestic products. The corrosion is one of the biggest reasons for the reduction in the strength as well as durability of the metallic products. The corrosion is basically oxidation of the metals when they come to contact with chemicals, oxygen, moisture, etc. It is essential for the manufacturers of metallic components and products to check the corrosion resistance of the metal that they use for manufacturing of different products and components. The salt spray tester is a testing instrument that is used for testing the corrosion resistance of metallic products by creating artificial corrosive environments. The instrument is best for assessment of resistance that a material can offer to corrosion.

The instrument uses a highly corrosive solution of NACL along with some added acidic components that replicate the actual corrosive conditions that the specimen have to face during the usage. The sample is placed in the corrosive fog created by that solution for a specific amount of time. The time of exposure varies from material to material. After the test cycle completes, the sample is removed from the chamber and is evaluated for the extent of corrosion done to it.

Use of salt sprays tester in automotive industries
The automobile products have to face extremely corrosive conditions which can cause frequent corrosion in the products. This is why the manufacturers need to test the corrosion resistance of the products. The salt spray tester helps the manufacturers in analyzing the corrosive behavior of metals and other automotive products which ensure better quality and durability of the products.
