Cross Cut tester CC2000

The CC2000 cross-cut tester allows the evaluation of the adhesion and cohesion of paints and coatings by means of precise cuts, complying with ISO, ASTM and DIN standards.

The CC2000 cross-cut tester is the professional solution for performing adhesion tests on paints and coatings, in compliance with the main international standards.

What is the cross-cut test?

The cross-cut adhesion test evaluates the bond of the paint to the substrate using a standardized method:

• Cross-cuts are made on the painted surface, forming a grid that reaches the substrate.
• The area is brushed and a standardized adhesive tape is applied.
• When the tape is removed, the coating detachment is inspected with a magnifying glass.

This method makes it possible to verify:

• The adhesion of the paint to the substrate.
• The cohesion between coating layers.
• The state of application or curing of the product.

Standards and regulations complied with

The CC2000 is designed to comply with the main international standards for adhesion testing of paints and coatings:

• UNE EN ISO 2409.
• ASTM D3359.
  
• DIN 53151.
• Requirements of manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Renault, Ford and General Motors.

Improved design for safety and comfort

The CC2000 cross-cut tester has been redesigned with a practical, user-focused approach:

• Ergonomic handle that ensures correct grip according to the angles defined in the standard.
• Fast and safe blade change.
• 3D-printed manufacturing, offering precision, lightness and durability.

Variety of available blades

The CC2000 system adapts to different types of coatings thanks to its interchangeable blades:

• 1, 2, 3 and 4-step blades (6 cuts) for thicknesses from 0 to more than 250 microns.
• Special 1-step blade with 11 cuts of 1 mm for specific applications.

CC2000 Case Kit (Ref. 0302000) includes:

• Handle with special head.
• Cleaning brush.
• Inspection magnifying glass.
• Adhesive tape compatible with ISO 2409.
• (Blades sold separately).

Benefits of the CC2000 cross-cut tester

• Precision: exact cuts that guarantee repeatable results.
• Safety: ergonomic handling and risk-free blade changes.
• Versatility: suitable for different thicknesses and types of coating.
• Regulatory compliance: ideal for the automotive, furniture and industrial paint industries.
