Paints and varnishes - Test method for evaluation of adhesion of elastic adhesives on coatings by peel test, peel strength test and tensile lap-shear strength test with additional stress by condensation test or cataplasm storage (ISO 22970:2019)

This document specifies three methods for testing the peel adhesion, peel strength and tensile lap-shear strength in order to evaluate the adhesive bond as well as the type, location and structure of failures of elastic adhesives on coatings. These methods are used, for example, for testing the assembly with respect to the bond of panes or built-on parts, such as plastic covers, spoilers, instrument panel covers, headlights, with coatings for automobile construction. The two methods of climatic exposure of specimens described herein are the condensation test and cataplasm storage.
This document does not specify requirements for adhesives and coatings.
NOTE The peel strength test (method B) for rigid car body construction adhesives is described in ISO 8510‑2. The tensile lap-shear strength test (method C) for rigid car body construction adhesives is described in EN 1465. Testing of rigid car body construction adhesives is generally conducted on small joint thicknesses, i.e. <1 mm.

1 Scope
This document specifies three methods for testing the peel adhesion, peel strength and tensile lap-
shear strength in order to evaluate the adhesive bond as well as the type, location and structure of
failures of elastic adhesives on coatings. These methods are used, for example, for testing the assembly
with respect to the bond of panes or built-on parts, such as plastic covers, spoilers, instrument panel
covers, headlights, with coatings for automobile construction. The two methods of climatic exposure of
specimens described herein are the condensation test and cataplasm storage.
This document does not specify requirements for adhesives and coatings.
NOTE The peel strength test (method B) for rigid car body construction adhesives is described in ISO 8510-2.
The tensile lap-shear strength test (method C) for rigid car body construction adhesives is described in EN 1465.
Testing of rigid car body construction adhesives is generally conducted on small joint thicknesses, i.e. <1 mm.

4 Principle
4.1 Adhesive strength test method A — Peel adhesion
It describes the peel adhesion test of adhesives on coatings. This method is suitable where a qualitative,
i.e. visual, evaluation of an adhesive’s behaviour is sufficient or when testing large and voluminous parts.
The adhesive is applied to the test panel in form of a (round or triangular) bead, dried and peeled off the
coating using a cutter knife and, if required, pliers. This is followed by a visual evaluation of the failure
pattern.
4.2 Adhesive strength test method B — Peel strength
It describes the adhesive strength testing of adhesives by determination of the peel force. This method
enhances the range of results obtained using method A by additional quantitative measurement values
and enables a statement as to which forces are transmitted to the adherend.
The adhesive is applied to the test panel to be bonded in form of a (round or triangular) bead, pressed
to the required thickness using a suitable thin plate and cured. A tensile force is applied to the plate
thereby peeling it off the bond in a defined angle. The reported result is the maximum force measured
for each bond width (see Figure 20).

ISO 22970:2019(E)

4.3 Adhesive strength test method C — Tensile lap-shear strength
It describes the adhesive strength testing of adhesives on coatings by determination of the tensile lap-
shear strength. This method yields both qualitative and quantitative results. It is suitable for testing
complete bonded assemblies as later used in practice. This also includes the use of original adherends.
The tensile lap-shear strength of overlap specimens is determined by stressing in shear of an overlap
joint between rigid adherends by applying to the adherends a tensile force which is parallel to the bond
area and to the major axis of the specimen. The reported result is the maximum force or maximum
tensile shear stress measured for each bond width.
4.4 Conduction of the test
After complete curing of the adhesive, testing is conducted according to adhesive strength test method A,
B or C, either immediately or following subsequent climatic exposure (exposure method 1 or 2).
5 Apparatus and test media
Normal laboratory equipment together with the following.
5.1 Adhesive strength test method A — Peel adhesion
5.1.1 Test panel, e.g. coated plates having dimensions of approximately 200 mm × 100 mm and
a thickness of 0,7 mm to 1,2 mm or coated plastic or coated glass (float glass) having a thickness of
approximately 4 mm. The thickness shall be sufficient to prevent deformation or fracture of the test
panel in combination with the specimen grip under the expected tensile load when peeling off the bead.
Specimen preparation, coating and drying/curing shall be indicated in the test report.
5.1.2 Adhesive, as agreed between the interested parties, supplied in a commercially available can.
5.1.3 Application gun, for applying the adhesive.

5.2 Adhesive strength test method B — Peel strength
5.2.1 Test panel, e.g. coated plates having dimensions of at least 250 mm × 70 mm and a thickness
of 0,7 mm to 1,2 mm. The thickness shall be sufficient to prevent deformation of the test panel in
combination with the specimen holder under the expected tensile load when peeling off the bead.
Specimen preparation, coating and drying/curing shall be indicated in the test report.
5.2.2 Adhesive, as agreed between the interested parties, supplied in a commercially available can.
5.2.3 Application gun, for applying the adhesive.
5.2.4 Strips of PE film or siliconized paper, e.g. baking paper, having dimensions of approximately
70 mm × 100 mm and a thickness of about 0,1 mm.
5.2.5 Peeling plate, just thick enough to enable transmission of the expected tensile forces
to the adhesive while allowing bending without using excessive force, e.g. aluminium A1050P,
25 mm × 250 mm × 0,5 mm.
5.2.6 Spacer, according to the agreed bond thickness.
5.2.7 Tensile testing machine, having a nominal load suitable for the respective adhesive bond,
e.g. 10 kN.
The response time of the testing machine shall be sufficiently short to prevent influences on the
accuracy when measuring the force at failure. The recorded force shall not deviate from the actually
required force by more than 1 %. The testing machine shall be capable of applying the required tensile
force increasing at a steady rate. It shall be provided with a pair of suitable self-aligning grips to hold
the specimen. The grips and attachments shall be constructed such as to move into alignment with
the specimen as soon as the force is applied, so that the longitudinal axis of the specimen will coincide
with the direction of the required force through the centre line of the grip assembly to avoid bending
moment. Grips that operate by bolting through the adherends shall not be used since tearing of the
bolting holes is to be expected.
5.3 Adhesive strength test method C — Tensile lap-shear strength
5.3.1 Test panel, e.g. coated plates having dimensions of at least 75 mm × 25 mm and a thickness
of 0,7 mm to 1,2 mm or coated plastic or coated glass (float glass) having a thickness of approximately
6 mm. The test panel strength shall be sufficient to enable transmission of the occurring tensile forces to
the bond.
Specimen preparation, coating and drying/curing shall be indicated in the test report.
5.3.2 Adhesive, as agreed between the interested parties, supplied in a commercially available can.

Paints and varnishes — Test method for evaluation of
adhesion of elastic adhesives on coatings by peel test,
peel strength test and tensile lap-shear strength test with
additional stress by condensation test or cataplasm storage
1 Scope
This document specifies three methods for testing the peel adhesion, peel strength and tensile lap-
shear strength in order to evaluate the adhesive bond as well as the type, location and structure of
failures of elastic adhesives on coatings. These methods are used, for example, for testing the assembly
with respect to the bond of panes or built-on parts, such as plastic covers, spoilers, instrument panel
covers, headlights, with coatings for automobile construction. The two methods of climatic exposure of
specimens described herein are the condensation test and cataplasm storage.
This document does not specify requirements for adhesives and coatings.
NOTE The peel strength test (method B) for rigid car body construction adhesives is described in ISO 8510-2.
The tensile lap-shear strength test (method C) for rigid car body construction adhesives is described in EN 1465.
Testing of rigid car body construction adhesives is generally conducted on small joint thicknesses, i.e. <1 mm.

4 Principle
4.1 Adhesive strength test method A — Peel adhesion
It describes the peel adhesion test of adhesives on coatings. This method is suitable where a qualitative,
i.e. visual, evaluation of an adhesive’s behaviour is sufficient or when testing large and voluminous parts.
The adhesive is applied to the test panel in form of a (round or triangular) bead, dried and peeled off the
coating using a cutter knife and, if required, pliers. This is followed by a visual evaluation of the failure
pattern.
4.2 Adhesive strength test method B — Peel strength
It describes the adhesive strength testing of adhesives by determination of the peel force. This method
enhances the range of results obtained using method A by additional quantitative measurement values
and enables a statement as to which forces are transmitted to the adherend.
The adhesive is applied to the test panel to be bonded in form of a (round or triangular) bead, pressed
to the required thickness using a suitable thin plate and cured. A tensile force is applied to the plate
thereby peeling it off the bond in a defined angle. The reported result is the maximum force measured
for each bond width (see Figure 20).

ISO 22970:2019(E)

4.3 Adhesive strength test method C — Tensile lap-shear strength
It describes the adhesive strength testing of adhesives on coatings by determination of the tensile lap-
shear strength. This method yields both qualitative and quantitative results. It is suitable for testing
complete bonded assemblies as later used in practice. This also includes the use of original adherends.
The tensile lap-shear strength of overlap specimens is determined by stressing in shear of an overlap
joint between rigid adherends by applying to the adherends a tensile force which is parallel to the bond
area and to the major axis of the specimen. The reported result is the maximum force or maximum
tensile shear stress measured for each bond width.
4.4 Conduction of the test
After complete curing of the adhesive, testing is conducted according to adhesive strength test method A,
B or C, either immediately or following subsequent climatic exposure (exposure method 1 or 2).
5 Apparatus and test media
Normal laboratory equipment together with the following.
5.1 Adhesive strength test method A — Peel adhesion
5.1.1 Test panel, e.g. coated plates having dimensions of approximately 200 mm × 100 mm and

5.2.1 Test panel, e.g. coated plates having dimensions of at least 250 mm × 70 mm and a thickness
of 0,7 mm to 1,2 mm. The thickness shall be sufficient to prevent deformation of the test panel in
combination with the specimen holder under the expected tensile load when peeling off the bead.

70 mm × 100 mm and a thickness of about 0,1 mm.
5.2.5 Peeling plate, just thick enough to enable transmission of the expected tensile forces
to the adhesive while allowing bending without using excessive force, e.g. aluminium A1050P,
25 mm × 250 mm × 0,5 mm.
5.2.6 Spacer, according to the agreed bond thickness.
5.2.7 Tensile testing machine, having a nominal load suitable for the respective adhesive bond,
e.g. 10 kN.
The response time of the testing machine shall be sufficiently short to prevent influences on the
accuracy when measuring the force at failure. The recorded force shall not deviate from the actually
required force by more than 1 %. The testing machine shall be capable of applying the required tensile
force increasing at a steady rate. It shall be provided with a pair of suitable self-aligning grips to hold
the specimen. The grips and attachments shall be constructed such as to move into alignment with
the specimen as soon as the force is applied, so that the longitudinal axis of the specimen will coincide
with the direction of the required force through the centre line of the grip assembly to avoid bending
moment. Grips that operate by bolting through the adherends shall not be used since tearing of the
bolting holes is to be expected.

7.1 Preparation of test panels
Pretreat the substrate to be bonded as agreed between the interested parties (clean with suitable
solvent and apply activator/primer, if applicable).
Store the coated test panels (5.1.1, 5.2.1 or 5.3.1) at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity in
accordance with ISO 3270. The time between completion of the coating and application of the adhesive
shall be indicated in the test report.
NOTE The adhesive strength of the adhesive can depend on this time span.
Temper the adhesive as indicated by the manufacturer.
7.2 Adhesive strength test method A — Peel adhesion

Figure 3 — Triangular bead
For the purpose of paired measurement, apply 2 beads of the appropriately tempered adhesive parallel
to each other to the test panel prepared in accordance with 7.1.
Usually, exposures are conducted simultaneously, i.e. one reference test on one pair of beads and only
one exposure each.
For elastic bonds, e.g. of windscreens where a clearance of approximately 5 mm is required, a typical
bead geometry may be as follows:
Bead length approximately 180 mm
Bead base (8 ± 2) mm
Bead height (12 ± 2) mm
When combining several ageing tests on one pair of beads (sequential testing), the sequence, conditions
and conditioning between the individual exposures shall be specified for each ageing test. The bead
shall be long enough to provide a length of about 5 cm for reference purposes and for each test.
7.2.2 Application of the adhesive bead
7.2.2.1 Application to the coating, curing without pressing
This method allows quick execution (“screening”) by applying round beads directly to the coating thus
causing them to cure faster due to the lack of a vapour barrier. Testing may also be conducted on uneven
surfaces of original parts.
Following cleaning and application of the pretreatment layer, adhesive tape may be applied to one of
the shorter sides of the test panel. This will later facilitate initial lifting of the adhesive bead. As an
alternative, the bead may initially be cut to peel it off the coating.
During bead application, the nozzle tip shall be placed carefully on the substrate without damaging
the surface. If damage cannot be excluded, application is done near to the surface without touching it.
For this purpose, the drawing speed of the application gun and the adhesive discharge rate shall be
coordinated such as to neither stretch nor compress the adhesive in order to ensure a uniformly good
contact with the substrate surface.

7.2.2.2 Application to the coating including pressing
The advantage of applying the adhesive bead directly to the coating including pressing is that this
ensures good contact of the adhesive with the surface. This is the method most commonly used by
laboratories. This specimen preparation simulates the curing process under real conditions where
curing will occur from two sides. A typical example is the bonding of panes.
Following the cleaning and the application of the pretreatment layer, adhesive tape may be applied to
one of the shorter sides of the test panel. This will later facilitate initial lifting of the adhesive bead. As
