JIS K 5600-5-6:1999 (R2013)

This Standard is one of a series of standards dealing with the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and related products. It specifies a test method for assessing the resistance of paint coatings to separation from substrates when a rightangle lattice pattern is cut into the coating, penetrating through to the substrate. The property measured by this empirical test procedure depends, among other factors, on the adhesion of the coating to either the preceding coat or the substrate. This procedure is not to be regarded, however, as a means of measuring adhesion. Where a measurement of adhesion is required, attention is drawn to the method described in JIS K 5600-5-7.
