Cross Cut Adhesion Tester
Cross-Cut Adhesions Tester
is a test to measure the adhesion of dry coats of paint on their
substrate by means of a series of 6 / 11 blades.
Two series of Lines are cut at right angles to obtain a pattern of 25 / 100 squares.
The ruled area is evaluated (by using a table chart) after a short treatment with
a stiff brush, or adhesive tape (hard substrates).
Standards
