Original Press Release:
P.A.T.T.I. Micro The Most Accurate Adhesion Tester on the Market!
The self-aligning P.A.T.T.I. MICRO quantitatively measures the adhesion strength of numerous coatings, including: paints, polymers, ceramics, inks, films, adhesives, and thermal or arc-sprayed metals. The P.A.T.T.I. Micro can be for laboratory or field use.
The test surface can be smooth, rough, porous, flat or curved. Custom-machined pull-stubs are available at any size, either flat or with a radius to match curved surfaces. The P.A.T.T.I. can also be used to test the strength of adhesives under non-room environmental conditions from 32-212 degrees Fahrenheit (0-100 degrees Celsius).
