Cross-Hatch Adhesion Tester

The cross-cut adhesion tester uses a blade to cut a grid pattern on the coating surface. After peeling with tape, the extent of coating detachment is observed to evaluate the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate. It is used for quality control in industries such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider the hardness of the substrate to match the tool specifications. The coating thickness determines the spacing of the cross-cut pattern. Refer to ASTM D3359 or ISO 2409 standards to choose the corresponding model. Environmental humidity affects the adhesive strength of the tape and must be controlled.
