Testing Products for ASTM D5868
APP-D5868Lap Shear Adhesion for Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Bonding. Evaluates adhesive bond strength between FRP substrates.
Application Insight:
Specifically designed for the thicker bond lines found in FRP apps.
Pro Tip:
Use rubber-coated grips to prevent crushing the FRP tabs.
