Adhesion and Compatibility Tests

Adhesion test according to national and international guidelines and standards and our own test methods ensure perfect adhesion of our products to the substrates used in any project. The results are provided as a report. We use the results obtained to make recommendations on surface treatment, e.g. cleaning and surface improvement, of the substrates used.

Detailed project testing is carried out according to a reliable and practicable system, which form a solid basis for successful project execution.

Please have a look at our survey of tested and approved cladding materials.

Because the reliance in proper functioning of our products is very important, for many years we also have been asking various independent external experts to judge our bonding systems, so by globally executed test programs the excellent quality of the TWEHA glue systems is confirmed.

This overview explains a number of these test procedures. The full reports of these and similar studies are available on request.
