The Cross Hatch Tester is used to evaluate the adhesion strength of coatings applied on various substrates. Even if a coating appears smooth and continuous, this test determines how well it is bonded to the base material. It is widely used in paint, coating, plating, and surface treatment industries for quality control and inspection.

The instrument creates a cross-hatch pattern on the coated surface, after which adhesive tape is applied and removed to assess coating adhesion.
