Adhesive Testing
PFS TECO provides a wide scope of adhesive testing, most of which is construction adhesive (subfloor and deck), with a successful listing program including many household names in adhesive manufacture. We are also equipped to perform a wide range of structural adhesive testing including shear block, creep, and delamination.
