Cross-cut Tester for paint.

The paint cross-cut tester is a serrated cutting tool used to create a grid pattern on a coating surface. After applying adhesive tape to the grid and peeling it off, the adhesion of the coating is evaluated based on the number of grid squares that detach. It is commonly used to test the bonding strength of paints and electroplated layers to their substrates, and is frequently applied in quality inspections for automotive and furniture surface finishes.
Selection
When selecting, consider the blade tooth pitch corresponding to the standard, such as 1mm/2mm, which is suitable for coatings of different thicknesses; the blade hardness should be sufficient to cut through the coating without curling; the blade holder should be comfortable to hold and ensure vertical cutting; models with depth-limiting devices can be chosen to control the scratch depth.
