PW- SAFT20 SAFT Shear Adhesive Failure Temperature Tester Shear Adhesive Failure Temperature Testing System For Sale
The Shear Failure Temperature (SAFT) refers to the maximum temperature the bonded area of a specimen can withstand before experiencing shear failure when subjected to a specific standard mass load.

To determine the shear breakage temperature of an adhesive tape specimen, the heating rate of the oven is controlled and the time it takes for the adhesion to break is measured.
