1、Designation: D3808 01 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forQualitative Determination of Adhesion of Adhesives toSubstrates by Spot Adhesion1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3808; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in th
2、e case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a simple qualitative procedurefor quickly screening whether an
3、 adhesive will, under recom-mended application conditions, bond to a given substratewithout actually making bonded assemblies.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values in parentheses are for information only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of t
4、hesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、ate.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Spots of adhesive (size can vary, but generally about 6mm (14 in.) in diameter) are placed onto a substrate using theapplication procedure and curing conditions acceptable to bothuser and supplier of the adhesive.4.2 The substrate preparation and environmental exposu
7、reof the spot of adhesive after cure or setting can be varied asdesired.4.3 The determination of whether an adhesive bonds to thesubstrate is made by simply trying to pry the spot of adhesivefrom the substrate.4.4 The mode of failure is readily evident by examiningwhether the bond separated adhesive
8、ly or cohesively, either inthe adhesive or substrate.5. Significance and Use5.1 This is a quick, simple, and inexpensive test method forqualitatively determining, without the need to prepare bondedtest specimens, whether the adhesive under consideration willbond to a particular substrate. If the res
9、ults are acceptable, thenstandard quantitative adhesive test procedures can be used toobtain quantitative measurements of the adhesives perfor-mance.5.2 This test method can also be used to compare relativeadhesion of several adhesives to given substrates.5.3 It can be used to determine whether an a
10、dhesive willcontinue to adhere to the substrate under specified environmen-tal conditions.5.4 It can be used to evaluate adhesion of a particularadhesive to a variety of substrates.5.5 It can be used to obtain “subjective” comparative databetween several adhesives on a given substrate by noting ther
11、elative ease of inducing failure between the adhesives tested.5.6 It should be most applicable to adhesives that cure or setwhen exposed to “air” (ambient, heated, etc.) and could beused for anaerobic adhesives if testing is carried out in anoxygen-free atmosphere.6. Apparatus6.1 No special equipmen
12、t is needed for application of theadhesive to the test substrate(s). When using hot-meltadhesives, for example, it would be desirable to have ahand-gun applicator or equivalent apparatus to allow deposi-tion of the hot-melt at a recommended application temperature.The use of such equipment is not ma

United States1be used to melt a quantity of the hot melt to the applicationtemperature in a deformable container such as an aluminumweighing dish. Upon reaching proper temperature, the hot meltcan be poure
16、d onto the substrate after forming a pouring spoutin the container.6.2 For some applications it is desirable to preheat thesubstrate. For this reason an oven or other heat source would beuseful.6.3 To test adhesion of the adhesive spot, a thin stainlesssteel spatula or similar probe is needed to pry
17、 or lift the spotfrom the substrate.7. Test Specimen7.1 Any form or shape of the substrate is acceptable. It isadvisable to place several spots of the same adhesive onto thesubstrate.7.2 In most cases, it is most efficient to test severaladhesives on the same substrate sample.8. Conditioning8.1 Stor

If other conditions are not specified, the storage and testconditions shall be 23 6 2C and 50 6 5 % relative humidity.Specification E171 details these and other test conditions.9.
19、Failure9.1 Failure is a visible separation of the adhesive spot eitheradhesively from the substrate or cohesively in the adhesive orsubstrate.9.2 The ease of separation of the adhesive spot can be usedto compare the relative performance of the adhesives.10. Procedure10.1 Run the tests in the same en
20、vironment used to condi-tion the test specimens and test apparatus.10.2 Using a thin-bladed stainless steel spatula or probe, tryto separate the adhesive spot from the substrate.10.3 Note the type and ease of failure as described inSection 9.11.
