New article in the German magazine for surface technology Oberfläche online 
about the mtv messtechnik CC 1000 and CC 3000 series of Cross Cut Testers

A very interesting article about our revised cross-cut testers.

Adhesion testing of coatings made easy: mtv messtechnik has thoroughly revised the cross-cut testers of the CC 1000 and CC 3000 series. Depending on the version, the now green anodized handheld testers completely or partially cover all common cut distances between 0 and-250 µm. At the same time, they are suitable for any substrate. The spectrum ranges from metal to plastic and glass to wood. Both device series from mtv messtechnik cover all relevant cross-cutting standards (DIN EN ISO 2409, ASTM D 3359, DAIMLER DBL 5416/7384). Their unique selling point on the market results from their movable cutting head and from the automatic reset. The cross cutters of the CC 1000 series have only one cutting edge, those of the CC 3000 product line have circular knives with up to eight cutting edges.

mtv messtechnik simplifies adhesion testing of coatings

The automatic reset of the movable cutting head facilitates the execution of the grid cut for testing the adhesion of coatings. The adhesion testers are for cut distances between 0 and -250 µm.

mtv messtechnik has trimmed both the CC 1000 and CC 3000 series for ergonomics and easy handling. Thus, all of the company's cross-cut testers are equipped with an automatic reset. The practical carrying case in which they are delivered contains, in addition to the respective device, an illuminated magnifying glass, medium-hard brush depending on the model version, and an Allen key. The latter is used to change the cutting tool. It is recommended to replace the cutting edge after 200 to 500 grid cuts - depending on the hardness of the substrate.

Cross-cutting according to DIN EN ISO 2409 and ASTM D 3359 can be used to test the adhesion of coatings and painted surfaces up to a maximum layer thickness of 250 µm. To do this, the materials tester makes six parallel scribe cuts and six additional "cross cuts" at right angles on the coating to be evaluated. Depending on the coating thickness, the spacing of the individual cuts can be one to three millimeters. In this way, a uniform pattern - a grid - of 25 squares is created. After the cross-cut has been made, loose particles are removed and the result is evaluated. A distinction is made between cross-cut characteristic values from 0 (very good) to 5 (very poor), abbreviated Gt 0 to Gt 5.
