The Cross Hatch Adhesion Test is used to test the adhesion of dry coats of paint on their substrate by means of a series of cuts through the coating. Two series of parallel cuts cross angled to each other to obtain a pattern of 25 or 100 similar squares. The ruled area is evaluated by using a table chart after a short treatment with a stiff brush, or adhesive tape for hard substrates.
The cutting knife of this Cross Hatch Adhesion Test Cutter is easy to exchange without the use of extra tools and having a self positioning knife bracket ensures equal pressure on the cutting knife.

Directions for use:
Simply make a cutting pass through the coating to the substrate, this will leave 6 parallel cuts in the coating. Then make a second pass at 90º to the first to make a square lattice pattern. Apply a length of adhesive tape over the lattice pattern & remove tape within 5 minutes. You can then classify the test area using the supplied magnifier to the relevant national standard.
