Vision on quality www.tqc.eu PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The TQC CC2000 Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT is used to test the adhesion of dry coats of paint on their substrate by means of a series of cuts through the coating. Two series of parallel cuts cross angled to each other to obtain a pattern of 25 or 100 similar squares. The ruled area is evaluated by using a table chart after a short treatment with a stiff brush, or adhesive tape for hard substrates. The cutting knife of the TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test CC2000 is easy to exchange without the use of extra tools. The self positioning knife bracket of the TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test CC2000 ensures equal pressure on the cutting knife.

For hard substrates only the test can be extended by applying the adhesive tape parallel to one set of cuts over the lattice pattern and pull it off steadily in 0.5 to 1 sec. at a 60° angle within 5 minutes after applying acc. to ISO. Acc. to ASTM within 90s ±30s at a 180° angle. 4. Carefully examine the cut area, if required using the magnifier and classify the test area according the table Description Appearance of surface of cross-cut area from which flaking has occured (Example for six parallel cuts) The edges of the cuts are completely smooth; none of the...
