Paint adhesion tests (Part I: Test Method A or X-Cut)

Views: 8634 Posted by Rezazadeh Published on Sunday, 13 April 1391 19:02 Categories: Building Inspection Description

Apply paint to ensure proper adhesion of paint on the metal surface should be applied to surfaces to be tested. Different methods are used to study the adhesion of paint to the surface is the most
common testing method with a knife (Knife Test), test adhesive tape (Tape Test) and Pull-Off Test requirements.

In this paper, scotch tape test adhesion is one of the most common tests in accordance with ASTM D 3359-09 standard is described. (The first part of this paper is to evaluate the test method A or
X-Cut.)

In this method by applying and removing adhesive tape (Pressure Sensitive) on or scissor cuts made to the film, the adhesive coating on the surface of the metal films is examined.

NOTE: To measure the adhesion of paint to soft surfaces (such as wood, plastic or metal) refer to the ISO 2409 standard.

To perform this test, the method or methods A and B exist. A further test for job sites (job sites) and Test Method B is more suitable laboratories. The test method B for films with a thickness of 5 mils or
Color incoherence 125 µm is not used.

Test Method A (X-Cut):

In this method, an X-shaped cuts in the film on the metal surface caused by the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is applied on cuts and on the back have. Adhesion is evaluated qualitatively on a scale of 0 to 5.

Test Method B (Cross-Cut):

A network model with 6 or 11 slots in each direction on the film, created and Scotch on the network and then applying the adhesive it will be removed based on a comparison and the interpretation of evaluation.

Equipment required for the test method A:

1. Cutting tools: razor-sharp scalpel, knife or any other means won. Note that the edges of the blade must be good condition and appropriately.
2. Cutting Ruler: Ruler of steel (or hard metal) with smooth edges to ensure a straight cut
3. Scotch Transparent half an inch wide and 25 mm,

Note: Scotch Common name for this Prmasl 99 (Permacel 99) are available in the market with the same name.

1. Delete: you can delete it at the end of a pencil is used.

2. Light: a light source to ensure that the cuts made to the film has been Flzkshydh level, will be required.

Method:

Select a surface that is free of flaws and rust have minimal surface defects. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Note that high temperatures and high relative humidity (especially in sites) affect the adhesive film.

Editor's Note: The D 3359 adhesion test time required for temperature and humidity conditions exist.

Cut a length of approximately 1.5 inches (40 mm) on each pass through the middle, making films create and the acute angle between 30 to 45 degrees. DO NOT use the ruler tool and move in a fixed order.

Cut the gap to the visible light reflected from the metal surface inspected to make sure that the film coating completely penetrated. If the surface were visible, cut in another place to create a new X session.

Note: The cutting should be done in one step is not correct and deepen the previous gaps and affecting adhesion.

Two separate rounds of scotch tape and a piece of 3-inch (75 mm) from it.

Put glue in the middle of the intersection point of the cuts and then cutting it with your finger and rub with the eraser end of a pencil stuck it over the surface.

The color of the transparent tape is a useful indicator to make sure the glue is sticking well to the surface.

After a period of time of 90 ± 30 seconds, apply glue, tape quickly from the surface do. So far as may be added without shaking his hand and onto the bar when digging angle is 180 degrees.

Now the location of the X-cut separation of the coating from the metal surface by using the following scale to your search:

5A: without any separation

4A: a small detachment or separation cuts along or in place of their

3A: separation of rough and cut along the incision to 1.6 mm on the other side

2A: separation of rough and cut along the greater cuts to 3.2 mm on the other side

1A: X-cut separation in most areas of Zyrnvar

0A: separation away from the X

To ensure the adherence of other places to shop in other places the surface, repeat the test.

Finally, clean the cutting tool. Number of tests with the results reported.
