Adhesion
Test Principle Cross-Cut Test
There are two methods to measure the resistance of coating to separation from substrates : the first by producing a X-cut (Test Method A) or the second one by producing a right angle lattice patern on the sample (Test Method B).
The basic principle is to cut through the coating with a series of several cuts at right angles in a defined manner. The square pattern that is obtained can be evaluated visually by examining the way in which the coating has broken away from the base material (along the cutting edges and/or complete squares), and this can be compared with schematic representations in the standard.
To perform that test you will need a roll of test tape, you can choose for an Astm one or an ISO.
The result will be furnished with a judgement scale’s code (e.g. with the aid of the evaluation table in accordance with EN ISO 2409).
