Why use an ADMET Test System in your test lab? To answer that, you must first ask yourself, "What do my customers want?"

• Customers want to verify their material composition and properties before use in manufacturing
• Customers want to certify materials compared to competitor's materials
• Customers want to gain valuable insight that could directly effect production process
• Customers want to determine cause of product failure

In order to deliver these services to your customers, you need the following:

• Testing Systems that are easy to use
• Testing Systems that are low maintenance
• Testing Systems that produce accurate, repeatable results
• Testing Systems that come from manufacturer's who are supportive and who understand materials testing
• Access to manufacturers that have a range of grips, fixtures, and accessories to meet the needs of a wide variety of testing applications

ADMET is a global manufacturer of Universal, Fatigue, Torsion, and Biaxial Testing Machines. The greatest advantage for test labs to use the ADMET equipment is the RANGE of our test frames and the POWER of our MTESTQuattro PC-based servo-controller.

Dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins which are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives. Synthetic resins evolved as restorative materials since they were insoluble, aesthetic, insensitive to dehydration, easy to manipulate and reasonably inexpensive. Many dentists today use resin fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Composite resins are also used for reshaping teeth, partial crowns, and to adhere retainers.

Shear joints impose uniform stresses across the bond area which results in the highest possible joint strength.  ASTM D1002 is commonly performed to measure the shear strength of adhesives that are used to bond metals.  This test is similar to ASTM D3163 which is for adhesives that bond rigid plastic substrates, and also ASTM D3164 which is for plastic adhesives that are used to bond both plastic and metal substrates.  All three of these
