Why use Fusing Bond Tester ?

Fusing Bond Test Machine (Analog) is used to assess the durability and strength of fabric bonds in the garment and textile industries. It tests the heat, pressure, and time parameters used in the fusing process, helping to ensure that fabrics will perform well when bonded with interlining or adhesive materials. This machine is commonly used in textile labs to evaluate the sustainability of fabric bonds under controlled conditions.

Bond Strength Requirements

The machine helps to evaluate bond strength for various types of garments, including:

• Women’s Blouses & Dresses: Small parts, all types of interlining/adhesive, bond strength of 2.5N or higher.
• Women’s Jackets: Large areas (e.g., full fronts), all types of interlining/adhesive, bond strength of 5.0N or higher.
• Men’s Jackets: Large areas (e.g., full fronts), all types of interlining/adhesive, bond strength of 10.0N or higher.
• Woven Shirts – Formal: Collar, cuff, placket, HDPE adhesive, bond strength of 10.0N or higher.
• Woven Shirts – Casual: Collar, cuff, placket, PSE or PA adhesive, bond strength of 5.0N or higher.
• Children’s Wear with Embroidery: Over the back, circular knit, bond strength of 5.0N or higher.

Factors Affecting Bond Strength

Several factors can influence the bond strength measured by the machine:

• Speed / Dwell Time: Incorrect dwell time can lead to improper bonding.
• Incorrect Interlining Selection: Choosing the wrong type of interlining or adhesive can affect the bond.
• Fuselage Temperature Too Low: Insufficient heat can prevent the adhesive from bonding properly.
• Poor or Uneven Pressure: Uneven application of pressure can lead to weak or inconsistent bonds.

Use Instructions for the Vilene Fusing Bond Test Machine (Analog)

To ensure accurate and reliable testing results:

1. Increase Fusing/Dwell Time: Ensure the adhesive has sufficient time to reach the correct viscosity and penetrate the fabric.
2. Adjust Temperature: Set the temperature slightly higher, but avoid over-fusing, which can lead to reduced bond strength.
3. Ensure Proper Pressure: Make sure the pressure is evenly distributed across the fabric during testing.
4. Allow Cooling Time: After the fusing process, let the fabric cool for at least 30 minutes before performing the bond strength test.
