ASTM D3359-17

ASTM D3359-17 is a standard test method used to evaluate how well a coating or paint adheres to a surface. It involves making a grid of cuts through the coating and then applying and removing some type of tape or pressure to see if the coating peels away or stays intact. This helps determine the coating's bond strength, ensuring it will protect the surface effectively and last as intended. The standard provides a consistent way to assess adhesion, which is important for quality control and ensuring durability in various industries.
