The Cross Hatch Cutter is a precision instrument that allows an assessment to be made of the adhesion resistance of coatings to separation from substrates when a right-angled lattice pattern is cut into the coating and penetrates through to the substrate. The coating thickness determines the Cutter size used. The 1mm Cutter (CHC-1) is suitable for coatings under 60 Microns. The 2mm Cutter (CHC-2) is suitable for coatings over 60 Microns. Simple operation, each Cross Hatch Cutter has 6 cutting blades spaced either 1mm or 2mm apart. Make one cutting pass through to the substrate. This makes 6 cuts in the coating. A second pass at 90 makes a square lattice pattern. Apply Adhesive Tape over the cut lattice section and within 5 minutes remove tape. Classify the cut area with the Viewing Lens according to the relevant national standard classification guide.
