Abstract
A novel apparatus and method for evaluating the bonding strength of a laminated glazing is disclosed. A sample of pummeled laminate is rotated while a collimated beam of white light is directed onto the sample at a predetermined angle of incidence. The intensity of light reflected from the sample is measured. The measured intensity is correlated with a standard light intensity corresponding to a known adhesion value.
