All of the texture analyser range can be used for testing the products listed below. TA.XTplus Texture Analyser TA.HDplus Texture Analyser Typical Applications & Testing Attachments The Avery Adhesive Test Adhesive Published Papers Adhesive Application Studies

The Texture Analyser range is capable of quantifying a wide variety of the adhesive properties of such products as:

Adhesives/Glues	Bandages	Paints, inks, etc
Hot Melt products	Packaging	Gums
Coatings	Caulkings	Labels
Creams/lotions	Resins	Deodorant sticks
Sealants	Solder paste	Waxes
Adhesive tapes (Double-sided, Duct, Electrical, Foam Backed, Masking, Office, Packaging)	Gels: silicon, medical, cosmetic	Transdermal patches

Adhesives can be tested at constant temperature using a Peltier Plate.

Many of the parameters that can be quantified with the Stable Micro Systems Texture Analyser range and its software are not otherwise quantifiable with alternative instruments. Measurements allow the viewing of subtle differences between different formulas, chemical ingredients and manufacturing processes. For QC/QA production, verification of batch conformity to an existing standard can be checked and a comparison of consistency between batches, shifts and different manufacturing facilities can be made.
