Laboratory equipment
Our laboratories are fully equipped in order to provide support in all fields of adhesive technology. Beside the equipment for the manufacturing of adhesive joints and climate chambers for the examination of the long-term behaviour, a variety of mechanical testing facilities including non contacting video extensometry is available. On top of this, devices for thermo- and thermomechanical characterization of materials are existent. All this is supplemented by a work station for Finite Element Analysis.
