Adhesion Testing and Results The adhesion between hard engineering plastics and soft elastomer depend on a lot of variables. Based on adhesion strength required by the consumer we have categorized an adhesion value higher than 13 pli to be acceptable for adhesion. Figure 1: Schematic diagram of peel adhesion testing.
