Cross-Hatch Blade

The cross-cut tester is used for coating adhesion testing. Its principle involves using a blade to create a grid pattern on the coating surface, applying adhesive tape to pull it off, and then observing the degree of coating detachment. Its purpose is to evaluate the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate, and it is applied in quality control within industries such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting a grid cross-cut knife, consider matching the coating thickness with the blade spacing: use 1mm spacing for soft coatings and 2mm for hard coatings. The blade material should be wear-resistant, and the handle design affects operational stability. The number of grids should correspond to the requirements of standard tests.
