Product description:

Nanotech industry products Cross-cut template is a professional Cross-cut testing device for the precise and reliable determination of the adhesive strength and adhesion of coatings, especially of painted surfaces and similar samples, using a precise cross-cut knife and a precise one Cross-cut template.

The testing method of cross-section is based on the test standards ISO 2409, ISO 16276 and ASTM D3359 carried out. The adhesion of surface coatings is determined using a cross-section noted. The Cross-cut template has various precise cutting distances for cross-hatch cuts with 6 notches and with 11 notches, which have a distance of 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm. The choice of Cross-cut template is selected according to the layer thickness of the surface coating and based on the recommendations of the test standard.

• For coating thicknesses of 0µm - 60µm, a cross-cut with a grid spacing of 1mm is recommended.
• For coating thicknesses of 61µm - 120µm, a cross-cut with a grid spacing of 2mm is recommended.
• For coating thicknesses of 121µm - 250µm, a cross-cut with a grid spacing of 3mm is recommended.

The Cross-cut test is done using one Cross-cut template In this case, scratch cuts are scratched into the surface coating at right angles and with a certain cutting distance, so that a square pattern is created. After carefully removing dust and loose particles, this square pattern is evaluated with the naked eye and using a magnifying glass. The assessment takes place in 6 levels, these levels are called Cross-hatch section characteristics referred to, for example "GT 0" denotes a very good adhesion property.

This professional Cross-cut multifunctional stencil offers the latest technology and design combined with precision-machined cutting distances of 1mm 1.5mm 2mm 3mm, a high quality magnifying glass with lighting, a wooden handle brush, a roll of 3M adhesive tape, a comfortable carrying case, made of high quality materials, high accuracy and high precision, an ergonomic design and much more.

This professional cross-cut multi-function stencil is manufactured in accordance with internationally recognized testing standards, including:  

• DIN EN ISO 2409 (Coating materials - cross-cut test (ISO 2409:2020); German version EN ISO 2409:2020)
• ISO 16276-2 (Corrosion protection of steel structures by coating systems - Assessment of the adhesion/cohesion (adhesive strength) of a coating and criteria for its acceptance - Part 2: Cross-cut and cross-cut test (ISO 16276-2:2007); German version EN ISO 16276-2 :2007)
• ASTM D 3359 (Standard Test Methods for Rating Adhesion by Tape Test)
