Cross Hatch Adhesion Tester or Adhesion Testers verify that both surface preparation and coating application are within specification. From the largest man-made structures to the smallest household appliances, most manufactured products have a protective or cosmetic coating. Premature failure of this coating can, at the very least, result in additional costs of rework. Adhesion testing after the coating process will quantify the strength of the bond between substrate and coating, or between different coating layers or the cohesive strength of some substrates. Routine adhesion testing is used as part of inspection and maintenance procedures to help detect potential coating failures. Elcometer offer a highly comprehensive range of Adhesion Gauges designed specifically to meet your requirements.
The Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter for adhesion tests provides an instant assessment of the quality of the bond to the substrate. Due to its rugged construction this cross hatch gauge is ideal for thin, thick or tough coatings on all surfaces. An ideal field or laboratory test.
Measure on large or small panels by quickly changing the position of the guide wheel using the hexagonal wrench provided. Each cutter wheel consists of 8 cutting faces. When one face becomes worn, rotate the cutting wheel to the next face. The Elcometer 1542 Cross Hatch Cutter is…
