Adhesive & Bond Failure Analysis Laboratories
Adhesive failure analysis determines whether separation occurred at the interface or within the adhesive, then looks for contamination, incomplete cure, or environmental degradation.
When is it used?
- Debonded assemblies in production or service
- Adhesive or substrate changes
- Surface preparation validation disputes
- Ageing and moisture-related joint failures
Sample considerations
- Send both mating surfaces, unwashed, with the separation preserved.
- Provide the adhesive product data, mix ratio and cure record.

Frequently asked questions
- How is incomplete cure detected?
- Thermal analysis and spectroscopic methods can indicate residual reactivity or an under-cured network compared with a correctly cured reference.
