bending test test piece (diameter: 10 mm)
JIS K 5600-5-1
(ISO 1519)
7 Adhesion test One test piece/day Adhesion test See Note below for the All grid is not peeled
JIS K 5600-5-6 test procedure.
(ISO 2409)
8 Hardness test One test piece/day Pencil hardness test Pencil method Hardness: more than
JIS K 5600-5-4 level H
(ISO 15184) After scratch with nail,
There is no damage.

Note: Adhesion test is conducted by the following three steps for inspection.
1-a. Make 100 pcs of grid (1x1 mm) using utility knife. (In case of Standard and /X1)
1-b. Make 25 pcs of grid (2x2 mm) using utility knife. (In case of /X2)
2. Stick adhesive tape on the grids by finger press.
3. Peel off the tape.
