Ford Scratch Tester

The Ford cross-cut adhesion tester is a tool for evaluating coating adhesion. It works by using a cross-cut device to create a grid pattern on the coating surface, applying adhesive tape, and then rapidly peeling it off. The adhesion is assessed based on the area of coating that detaches. It is used for quality control in industries such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting a Ford cross-cut tester, it is essential to consider matching the coating thickness with the spacing of the cuts, adapt the blade type to the hardness of the substrate, determine the number of cuts according to standards such as ASTM D3359, prioritize stainless steel material to ensure cutting precision, and pay attention to timely blade replacement due to wear.
