What is ISO 21194 – Elastic adhesives about?
ISO 21194 specifies a method for evaluating the adhesion of elastic adhesives and sealants (with a minimum elongation at break of 100 % and a modulus of elasticity of maximum 10 MPa1) on various substrates. In this way, the effect of various coatings or the surface pre-treatments of the substrate materials on the adhesion can be compared.
ISO 21194 can also be used to evaluate the influence of pre-treatment substrate and adhesive on the long-term durability of adhesively bonded joints and seals. This test can also be used for process monitoring and quality assurance accompanying production.
Who is ISO 21194 – Elastic adhesives for?
ISO 21194 on adhesives is relevant to:
Manufacturers of elastic adhesives
Chemical Engineer
Any entity responsible for testing and quality of adhesives
Why should you use ISO 21194 – Elastic adhesives ?
The elastic adhesives form a tough, flexible rubber-like elastic body after curing. As a highly functional universal adhesive that is resistant to vibration and impact and has excellent stress relaxation characteristics, they can be used with confidence in a wide range of applications.
