This test method measures the amount of force necessary to extrude an adhesive from a cartridge at a given temperature. Cartridge adhesives are typically used at job sites over a wide variety of temperature ranges. These products may be exposed to cold temperatures, where one of the limiting application factors is whether the product can be extruded from the cartridge. This provides the manufacturer with results that can assist in formulation development, and the end user with information for use in selecting a product for general usage. By measuring (the ease of) extrusion from the cartridge, the test method can also be used as a quality control tool to measure the shelf-life stability of a product.
