Surface energy
ranges from high to low. To illustrate the concept of surface energy, think of water on the unwaxed hood of a car. The unwaxed hood has high surface energy and
water on the hood flows into puddles. In comparison, a waxed hood has low surface energy and the water beads up rather than flows out. Similar to water, adhesive on a high surface
energy surface flows and “wets out” the surface. “Wetting out” is required to form a strong bond.
As a rule of thumb, the higher the surface energy, the greater the strength of adhesion.
Specially formulated adhesives are available for low surface energy surfaces.
Regardless of surface energy, the substrate must be unified, dry, and clean to maximize adhesive contact.
The following illustrations and surface rankings give you an idea of relative surface energy.

Note:
These values are provided as a guide. Formulation modifications can substantially alter surface energies.
Applying firm pressure to the bond increases adhesive flow and contact for more
secure bonding. Time and temperature will typically further increase contact and
adhesion values.
