Expert Commentary
Governs the Measuring of Adhesion of Organic Coatings to Plastic Substrates by Direct Tensile Testing. A loading block is bonded to the coating and pulled vertically. The engineering focus is on Alignment. MTO’s direct-tension jig uses a universal joint to ensure the force is perfectly normal to the surface, preventing any edge-peel. This is vital for the automotive interior and consumer electronics industries where coating delamination from plastic housings is a major quality failure.
