EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 6238 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining the shear strength of wood-to-wood adhesive bonds with a standard specimen loaded by compression and under specified preparation, conditioning and testing conditions. This method is designed to test only adhesives used to bond wood to wood.
The test involves the preparation of two wood samples, which are then coated with glue and joined together with glue. The samples are then allowed to harden under controlled conditions. After curing, the samples are placed in a compression testing machine and compressed at a certain rate until failure occurs. The shear strength of the bond is calculated based on the maximum load the bond can withstand before breaking.
ISO 6238 is useful for evaluating the performance of adhesives used in wood bonding applications such as the furniture and construction industries. The test can also be used to compare the performance of different adhesive formulations and to optimize the adhesive selection and application process for a particular wood bonding application.
It is important to note that although ISO 6238 provides a useful tool for evaluating the shear strength of wood-to-wood adhesive bonds, it is not the only test that should be used. Other factors such as environmental conditions, surface preparation and application method can also affect the performance of the bond. It is therefore important to consider all relevant factors when selecting and testing adhesives for wood bonding applications.
