Cross-cut test plate

The cross-cut adhesion tester is a tool used for assessing surface adhesion. Its principle involves using a cutting tool to create a grid of scratches on the coating surface, followed by peeling with specialized adhesive tape to observe the area of coating detachment, thereby evaluating the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate. It is employed for testing the adhesion of coatings, inks, and electroplated layers on surfaces such as metal and plastic.
Selection
When selecting a cross-cut test board, it is necessary to match the coating thickness to determine the cutting spacing, with common specifications of 1mm/2mm. The cutting tool material should be wear-resistant with a smooth blade edge. The number of grids must meet statistical requirements. The hardness of the substrate affects the choice of cutting tools, and the cutting depth must be controlled for soft materials. Additionally, compliance with standards such as ASTM D3359 should be considered.
