Helpful Hints - Adhesion Testing

• Tensile adhesion pulls are evaluated in pounds per square inch (psi) and visually, as follows:

1. Adhesion failure - defined as a failure between two distinct paint layers or between

the substrate and the first layer of paint.

2. Cohesion failure - defined as a failure or break within one coat of paint (the coating

breaks within itself).

3. Glue failure - psi exceeds the glue strength, and may require re-gluing.

• Depending on the specification, the user may or may not be required to score around the dolly prior to

pulling.

• Shear adhesion strength of coatings is evaluated in accordance with ASTM D 3359 “Adhesion by Tape

Test”. Method A. describes the X cut method. Method B describes the parallel lines - “Cross hatch

pattern” method.

• Adhesion can be subjectively evaluated using a knife and probing into the coating. This requires considerable experience.
