Testing the adhesion of elastic adhesives or elastic sealing materials on surfaces of components

A method for testing the adhesion of elastic adhesives or elastic sealing materials on surfaces of components comprising of the following steps:

• a) applying the adhesive or the sealing material to a component surface of a component,
• b) optionally curing the adhesive or sealing material,
• c) attempting, by exerting a peeling force, to detach the applied adhesive or the applied sealing material from the component surface, and
• d) assessing the adhesion of the adhesive or the sealing material on the basis of fractures caused in the adhesive or the sealing material by the exertion of the peeling force and the detachment of the adhesive or the sealing material from the component surface by the exertion of the peeling force wherein
• prior to and/or during step a), an anti-adhesion material layer is applied to at least one first part of the component surface, which causes poorer adhesion of the adhesive or the sealing material to the component surface and therefore the adhesive or the sealing material can be detached from the component surface with less peeling force than directly from the component surface and the adhesive or the sealing material in step a) is applied as a continuous material section both to the at least one first part of the component surface to which the anti-adhesion material layer is applied and directly to at least one second part of the component surface, wherein the adhesive or the sealing material is applied to the component surface in such a way that the adhesive or the sealing material extends in a longitudinal direction at least from one of the second parts over an intervening one of the first parts to one of the second parts.
