A Multihatch Gauge, often called a Cross Cutting Rule, helps with that simple yet important check. It carries 11 grid lines with a line length of 35 millimetres. It provides multiple spacing options of 1mm, 2mm, 1.5 mm and 3 mm. 

 
It creates a neat pattern of cuts on the coated surface. This pattern shows how strongly the coating holds on when tape is applied and removed. Labs use it for routine checks, while factories use it to keep every painted or coated batch steady and predictable.

Brief insight into the Multihatch Gauge

A Multihatch Gauge is a hand-held tool used for cross-cut adhesion testing. It creates multiple uniform cuts on a coated panel. These cuts make a grid of squares to help users see whether the coating bonds well with the base material. It is widely used for quick checks in coating, paint, metal finishing, furniture, and plastic product lines.
 Applications
 • It helps paint makers to evaluate coating grip during batch testing.
 • It helps automotive and metal finishing plants to check adhesion on painted body parts.
 • It helps appliance factories to check the quality of surface coatings on panels and covers.
 • It helps wooden panels and furniture units to check the varnish and lacquer hold.
 • It helps plastic product manufacturers to check coating behaviour on moulded parts.
 • It helps coating suppliers to test customer samples before sending material ahead.
 
Standard compliance(to be updated)
The tool aligns with common cross-cut adhesion test practices used in paint and coating labs. The spacing, cutting depth and pattern layout follow industry-accepted test methods used for adhesion rating.

Q: Why do factories depend on this tool?
A: It helps them to catch weak adhesion early, which helps avoid peeling and coating failure later.

Q: Do labs need special training to use it?
A: Basic handling is easy, and operators pick it up quickly.

Q: How long does one test take?
A: The full check takes only a few minutes.

Q: Is it suitable for both thin and thick coatings?
A: It works well for most paints, varnishes and industrial finishes.

Q: What is the price of a Multi Hatch Gauge Cross Cutting Rule?
A: The price can vary based on the model and spacing you need. You can contact us for the exact quote.

Q: What is a Multi hatch Gauge used for?
A: It is used to check how firmly a coating sticks to a surface.
