Paints and varnishes - Cross-cut test (ISO 2409:2020)
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).
Beschichtungsstoffe - Gitterschnittprüfung (ISO 2409:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren zum Bewerten des Widerstandes von Beschichtungen (einschließlich Holzbeizen) gegen Trennung vom Substrat fest, wenn ein bis zum Substrat durchgehendes rechtwinkliges Gitter in die Beschichtung geschnitten wird. Die nach diesem empirischen Verfahren bestimmte Eigenschaft hängt, neben anderen Faktoren, von der Haftfestigkeit der Beschichtung auf der vorher aufgetragenen Schicht oder auf dem Substrat ab. Dieses Verfahren ist jedoch kein Verfahren zur Messung der Haftfestigkeit.
ANMERKUNG 1 Zur Messung der Haftfestigkeit siehe das in ISO 4624 festgelegte Verfahren.
ANMERKUNG 2 Obwohl die Gitterschnittprüfung in erster Linie zur Anwendung im Laboratorium gedacht ist, ist sie auch als Feldprüfung geeignet.
Das festgelegte Verfahren kann entweder als Ja/Nein-Prüfung oder, wenn entsprechende Umstände gegeben sind, als Einstufungsprüfung mit sechs Stufen angewendet werden. Bei Mehrschichtsystemen kann auch die Zwischenschicht-Haftfestigkeit abgeschätzt werden.
Die Prüfung kann an fertigen Gegenständen und/oder an eigens dafür hergestellten Probenplatten durchge¬führt werden.
Obwohl das Verfahren auf Beschichtungen auf harten (z. B. Metall) und weichen (z. B. Holz und Putz) Substraten anwendbar ist, erfordern diese unterschiedlichen Substrate eine unterschiedliche Durchführung (siehe Abschnitt 8).
Das Verfahren ist nicht für Beschichtungen mit einer Gesamtschichtdicke über 250 µm oder für Struktur¬beschichtungen geeignet.
ANMERKUNG 3 Wenn das Verfahren auf Beschichtungen mit einer strukturierten Oberfläche angewendet wird, streuen die Ergebnisse zu stark (siehe auch ISO 16276 2).
Peintures et vernis - Essai de quadrillage (ISO 2409:2020)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d'essai pour l'évaluation de la résistance des revêtements de peinture et des vernis (y compris les colorants pour bois) 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. Cependant, cette méthode n'est pas un moyen de mesurer l'adhérence.
NOTE 1 Lorsqu'une mesure de l'adhérence est nécessaire, voir la méthode décrite dans l'ISO 4624.
NOTE 2 Bien que cet essai soit avant tout un essai de laboratoire, il peut également être réalisé in situ.
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 classes. 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.
L'essai peut être réalisé sur des objets finis et/ou sur des éprouvettes spécialement préparées.
Bien que la méthode soit applicable à des peintures sur subjectiles durs (par exemple en métal) ou tendres (par exemple bois et plâtre), on utilise un mode opératoire différent selon les subjectiles (voir Article 8).
La méthode ne convient ni aux revêtements dont l'épaisseur totale est supérieure à 250 µm, ni aux revêtements texturés.
NOTE 3 La méthode donne des résultats trop dispersés lorsqu'elle est appliquée à des revêtements conçus pour donner une surface rugueuse (voir également l'ISO 16276‑2).

4 Principle
Six parallel cuts are introduced in the coating and another six cuts are introduced perpendicular to the
first cuts. Any loose paint particles are removed. The cut area is examined visually and compared to a
six-step classification.
5 Apparatus
5.1 General
Use ordinary laboratory apparatus, together with the apparatus specified in 5.2 to 5.4.
5.2 Cutting tool
5.2.1 General requirements
It is particularly important to ensure that the cutting tool is capable of creating the specified V-shape
throughout the total coating thickness, and that the cutting edges are in good condition. Suitable tools
are described in 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 and shown in Figures 1 and 2.
A single-blade cutting tool (5.2.2) as well as the multi-blade cutting tool (5.2.3) is suitable for all
coatings and substrates; it has to be ensured that all cuts mark or scratch the substrate. The depth of
indentation into the substrate shall be as low as possible, however.
The tools described in 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 are suitable for manual use, which is the more usual method of
use, but the tools may also be mounted on a motor-driven apparatus, which gives more uniform cutting.
The application of the latter procedure shall be subject to agreement between the interested parties.
