Adhesives - Wettability - Determination by measurement of contact angle and critical surface tension of solid surface EN 828:1997

Publication date:   Mar 19, 2004

Scope

This European standard specifies the determination of the ability of an adhesive to "wet" a solid surface by measuring the contact angle and determining the critical surface tension of wettability. It allows the prediction of what adhesive will wet which adherend. It may be used to characterize surfaces after priming, coating and bonding.
