Cross-Hatch Test Blade

The cross-cut test knife assesses the adhesion of the coating to the substrate by creating a grid pattern on the coating surface with its blade. During the test, the coating is cut into small squares, and adhesive tape is applied and then peeled off to observe the extent of coating detachment. It is used for quality control in industries such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting a cross-cut adhesion test knives, consider the blade material hardness to ensure clean cuts; ensure the tooth spacing meets standard requirements; the handle design should be comfortable for gripping; check if the blade head is replaceable; match the thickness of the coating being tested; and refer to industry testing standards.
