ASTM D6004 describes a procedure to measure shear strength development for adhesives used to bond carpet adhesives to selected underlayments. In selecting or developing a carpet adhesive, it is critical to have knowledge regarding how well the adhesive will bond to the desired underlayment. Shear loading simulates a common failure mode.
By means of our adhesive testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to ASTM D6004.
