Cross-hatch board

The cross-cut guide is a metal template with equally spaced cutting lines, used for coating adhesion testing. The principle involves cutting through the coating to the substrate along the grid lines, and then assessing the bonding strength of the coating by observing the degree of grid detachment after tape peeling. It is applied to evaluate the adhesion performance of coatings, such as wall paint and automotive paint, to their substrates.
Selection
Select the cross-cut pattern specification based on coating thickness: use 1mm spacing for 0–60μm, 2mm spacing for 60–120μm, and 3mm spacing for 120–250μm. Choose a stainless steel cross-cut knife for hard substrates and use a positioning guide for soft substrates. Control temperature and humidity in the laboratory environment to ensure clean, burr-free cut edges.
