Studies on Utilization of Plastic Adhesives for Horseshoeing

III. Measurement of Plate Strength and Adhesive Strength for Shock Affection

Abstract

Discussion had already been made about shock affection of test samples which were horseshoes made of acrylic-resin or hard-rubber and adhered to hoof samples and resin plates or hard-rubber plates with Eastman 910, Cemedine-super, and Bond-master. Shock was given to the test samples by dropping them from a height of 10 meters onto the sand, a wooden board, and a concrete floor. 1. The hard-rubber plate was not broken. It was superior to the resin plate with respect to the results of the falling test. 2. Cemedine-super and Bond-master were better than Eastman 910 in combining the hoof with the resin plate. 3. Cemedine-super was better than Eastman 910 in combining the hoof with the hard-rubber plate.
