Initial strength
Initial strength is an important factor in evaluating the performance of an adhesive. It is the force required for an adhesive to bond to a surface. This force is also known as bond strength and depends on the properties of the adhesive and the surface to which it is applied. Initial strength is an indicator of the quality of an adhesive bond and plays an important role in determining whether a bond is reliable and durable.
It is important to note that initial strength is not always consistent and can change over time. This depends on many factors such as humidity, temperature, mechanical stress and other environmental influences. Therefore, it is critical to carefully test and monitor the initial strength to ensure that an adhesive bond is safe and reliable.
