Aerospace Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Testing (at -200F and +233F)
Project Description
Materials Laboratory needed for materials testing an aerospace pressure sensitive adhesive in overlap shear (similar to ASTM D5868) at -200F and +233F. If possible, both tensile/shear is ideal.
However, the substrate will be supplied by us (a carbon fiber composite) and the PSA is 3M VHB tape. The difficult part is that we must test for the adhesive properties at both -200F and +233F. This combination of materials will be used for a spacecraft, hence the extreme temperature requirements for the test.
We are looking for the material properties (Tensile/Shear Strength, PSI) of the VHB tape at these temperatures, when bonded to our substrate.
