Expert Commentary
The Floating Roller Peel Resistance of Adhesives. This is a high-peel test where one adherend is rigid and the other is flexible. The flexible member is bent over a set of rollers while being pulled. The technical challenge is the Peel Angle Stability. MTO’s floating roller fixture is precision-engineered to maintain a 152mm radius of curvature, ensuring the peel force is strictly a measure of the adhesive’s fracture energy rather than the energy required to deform the metal skin. This is the gold standard for verifying the bond quality of aircraft skin-to-rib assemblies.
