Significance and Use
This test method was originally designed as a means of quantitatively measuring the level of adhesion of the wood-wood interface caused by a wood coatings system applied to the substrate. The tensile test is useful in measuring bonding strength of coatings, such as gymnasium coatings, in which the wood strip flooring primarily expands or contracts in response to changes across the cross-sectional width of the strip floor.
This test method was further designed as a means of measuring the side-bonding potential of wood coating systems.
Scope
1.1 These test methods describe an evaluation procedure for the determination of undesirable side-bonding of coatings for wood flooring. They provide two mechanical properties tests for the quantitative determination of the cohesive strength of wood coatings (tensile and lap shear); they also provide a wood floor simulation test for the qualitative determination of side-bonding potential of wood coatings.
