Paints and varnishes - Cross-cut test

This document specifies a test method for assessing the resistance of paint coatings and varnishes (including wood stains) to separation from substrates when a right-angle lattice pattern is cut into the coating, penetrating through to the substrate. The property determined by this empirical test procedure depends, among other factors, on the adhesion of the coating to either the preceding coat or the substrate. This procedure is not, however, a means of measuring adhesion. NOTE 1 Where a measurement of adhesion is required, see the method described in ISO 4624. NOTE 2 Although the test is primarily intended for use in the laboratory, the test is also suitable for field testing. The method described can be used either as a pass/fail test or, where circumstances are appropriate, as a six-step classification test. When applied to a multi-coat system, assessment of the resistance to separation of individual layers of the coating from each other can be made. The test can be carried out on finished objects and/or on specially prepared test specimens. Although the method is applicable to paint on hard (e.g. metal) and soft (e.g. wood and plaster) substrates, these different substrates need a different test procedure (see Clause 8). The method is not suitable for coatings of total thickness greater than 250 µm or for textured coatings. NOTE 3 The method, when applied to coatings designed to give a rough patterned surface, will give results which will show too much variation (see also ISO 16276-2).

Paints and varnishes - Cross-cut test

<p>L'ISO 2409:2013 spécifie une méthode d'essai pour l'évaluation de la résistance des revêtements de peinture à être séparés de leurs subjectiles lorsqu'on pratique dans le revêtement un quadrillage par incisions jusqu'au subjectile. La propriété déterminée par cette méthode empirique dépend, entre autres, de l'adhérence de la couche soit à la couche précédente, soit au subjectile. Cette méthode ne peut, cependant, être considérée comme un moyen de mesurer l'adhérence.</p> <p>La méthode décrite peut être utilisée soit comme essai «tout ou rien» soit, le cas échéant, comme essai en vue d'une classification en six niveaux. Lorsqu'il est appliqué à un système multicouche, le mode opératoire permet également d'évaluer la résistance des couches individuelles du revêtement à se séparer les unes des autres.</p> <p>L'essai peut être réalisé sur des objets finis et/ou sur des éprouvettes spécialement préparées.</p> <p>La méthode ne convient ni aux revêtements dont l'épaisseur totale est supérieure à 250 µm, ni aux revêtements texturés.</p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
