The cross-cut test involves assessing the adhesion of coatings and paints on substrates using the cross-cut method according to ISO 2409. A defined cut pattern is scribed into the coating, and the detachment is visually evaluated. <\/p>\n
Using a multi-blade cutting tool, two perpendicular cut patterns are scribed into the coating. The cutting distance depends on the layer thickness (1\u20133 mm). After cutting, an adhesive tape is applied and then removed. <\/p>\n
Evaluation (Gt 0\u20135):<\/strong> The following table shows all OEM-specific standards for cross-cut testing covered by the ASO Laboratory:<\/p>\n The adhesion of a coating to the substrate. The evaluation is based on a scale from Gt 0 (perfect adhesion) to Gt 5 (over 65% detachment). Most automotive manufacturers require Gt 0 or Gt 1. <\/p>\n The distance depends on the layer thickness: 1 mm for layers up to 60 \u00b5m, 2 mm for 61\u2013120 \u00b5m, 3 mm for over 120 \u00b5m. Six parallel cuts are made in each direction. <\/p>\n Yes, the cross-cut test can be performed on flat component surfaces, provided there is a sufficiently large flat area (approx. 20 \u00d7 20 mm). Evaluation is limited on curved surfaces. <\/p>\n The ASO Laboratory performs cross-cut testing according to all common OEM standards. Our DAkkS accreditation according to DIN EN ISO\/IEC 17025 guarantees standards-compliant results. <\/p>\n Contact us<\/strong> for a quote \u2013 we will advise you on optimal sample planning and testing scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is Cross-Cut Testing?
