Adhesives commonly are tested for their dry strength.  Dry strength testing involves the testing of an adhesive joint immediately after a specified drying period, or after a conditioning period under controlled environmental conditions, e.g. relative humidity.

Dry strength testing can be carried out on a range of Lloyd Instruments materials testing machines together with NEXYGENPlus data analysis software when more comprehensive testing results are required.
