Test Method: SATRA TM406
Lacquer adhesion - cross hatch test
February 1999
SCOPE
This method is intended to qualitatively determine the adhesion of a lacquer to a test material. It is applicable to all lacquered materials, especially plastic heels or polyurethane soles.
PRINCIPLE
A series of cuts are made in the test specimen to form a cross-hatch pattern. A piece of selfadhesive tape is stuck to and then quickly peeled from the cross-hatched area of the test specimen. The level of adhesion is qualitatively determined by noting the amount of lacquer which is removed.
