Cross Hatch Tester Cross Hatch Cutter Paint Adhesion Testing Paint Adhesion Test Kit 6 edges
This method is used for determining the parallel groove paint adhesion of one or many layers on a substrate, generally a metal panel. Cross Hatch Testers are available in 2 different crosscut blade versions, one is a multi-cut blade with 6 cutting edges, the other version has one cutting edge. The Cross Cut blades are made of hardened steel alloy and are designed for retaining a sharp cutting edge to reduce the frequency of blade replacement.
ASTM D3359 requires 11 cut lines:
1 mm cutter for films up to 50 µm (2 mils) thick
2 mm cutter for films between 125 µm (2 - 5 mils) thick
ISO 2409 prescribes that the number of cuts shall be 6, and that the cut in each direction must be according to the film thickness and type of coating used as shown below:
0 - 60 µm 1 mm space for hard substrates (metal)
0 - 60 µm 2 mm space for soft substrates (plastic)
61 - 120 µm 2 mm space for hard or soft substrates
121 - 250 µm 3 mm space for hard or soft substrates
Complies with ASTM D3359,ISO2409-1992,DIN 2409, ECCA T-6,BS 3900E6
