Choice of the appropriate spacing of cuts acc. to DIN EN ISO 2409 Film thickness Substrate Spacing of cuts in μm in mm 0 to 60 hard 0 to 60 soft above 60 to 120 hard and soft above 120 to 250 hard and soft The cross-cut test is not suitable for substrates with a film thickness over 250 μm.
Handling ZCC 2087.1 to ZCC 2087.4 acc. to DIN EN ISO 2409 Hold the cross-cut tester only at the handle. The flexible cutting head should always move freely. Never use your other hand or finger of the leading hand to add additional pressure to the cutting head during testing.
7.1 Removing loose particles According to the informative Annex A of the DIN EN ISO 2409 the following three methods are suitable for removing loose particles: Brushing Brush the panel lightly using a soft brush several times backwards and • forwards along the diagonals of the lattice pattern.
