FORD FLTM BI 106-01 Coating Adhesion Test

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of FORD FLTM BI 106-01 test. This method is used to measure the relative adhesion of coatings to steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, plastic or other surfaces.

FORD FLTM BI 106-01 is a test method used by Ford Motor Company to evaluate the adhesion of coatings to automotive parts. This testing helps ensure that coatings applied to various vehicle components adhere properly and meet Ford's quality standards. Adhesion is a critical factor in the durability and performance of automotive coatings because it affects the paint's ability to withstand environmental factors such as moisture, heat, and mechanical stress.

In bonding, the term wetting refers to the ease with which an adhesive can contact and spread intimately onto a particular substrate. There are various forces (ionic, static, polar) that provide good adhesion between the adhesive and the substrates. Good wetting provides a larger contact area over which these forces can take effect.

As a result, a good wetting is crucial for good bond formation. The degree of wetting of any substrate depends on the surface tension, or critical surface energy, of the substrate and the adhesive. As a general rule, for good wetting the critical surface energy of the substrate should be higher than the critical surface energy of the adhesive.
