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.
