Cross-Hatch Method Adhesion Tester

The cross-hatch adhesion tester uses a cutting tool to create a grid pattern on the coating surface, and the adhesion of the coating is evaluated by observing the peeling of the coating after applying and removing adhesive tape. It is used to assess the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate, and is applicable for quality control in industries such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the hardness of the test material to the tool specifications, aligning the grid size with the coating thickness, and ensuring the equipment has standard grid spacing and stable pressure control to guarantee that test repeatability meets industry standard requirements.
