Cross Hatch Adhesion Tester

Brief insight into the Cross Hatch Tester

A Cross Hatch Tester is used to check the bond strength between a coating and the material below it. It cuts a series of fine and evenly spaced lines on the surface. The pattern shows how strongly the coating holds on. Labs use it to spot coating issues early, while manufacturers use it to keep every batch steady and dependable.

Applications

• It helps paint makers to check batch quality before the material moves to filling and dispatch.
• It helps automotive plants to check the paint grip on panels and parts.
• It assists the appliance manufacturers to check the finishing on washing machines, refrigerators and similar products.
• It helps plastic and metal part makers check how well the coating holds on different surfaces.
• It helps furniture and wooden panel units check varnish and lacquer adhesion.
• It helps coating suppliers test customer samples before sending the material out.

• ISO 2409
• ASTM D3359

• The handle has an ergonomic shape with a firm grip that supports steady use during long test hours.
