TQC SHEEN CROSS CUT ADHESION TEST BLADES | REPLACEMENT KNIVES

Premium replacement blades for the TQC Sheen Cross-Cut Adhesion Test Kits. Available for CC1000, CC2000 and CC3000 testers, these precision-engineered knives support accurate, repeatable and standards-compliant adhesion testing on a wide range of coating thicknesses and substrates.

Description

TQC Sheen offers a wide range of replacement blades designed for use with the
Cross-Cut Adhesion Test Kits (CC1000, CC2000, and CC3000). Each blade is engineered
for specific coating thicknesses and substrates — ensuring reliable, standard-compliant adhesion testing every time.

How It Works

During a cross-cut adhesion test, the cutter creates a defined grid pattern through the coating down to the substrate. Blade spacing, number of teeth and blade hardness determine how accurately the coating is cut. Selecting the correct blade ensures the grooves are sharp, clean and evenly spaced, allowing for an accurate comparison against international adhesion rating standards.
