Elcometer 1540 Cross Cut Tester				ÿ
Adhesion				ÿ
Adhesion testing during the coating process will quantify the strength of the bond between						ÿ
substrate and coating, or between different coating layers or the cohesive strength of				ÿ
some substrates. Routine testing is also used as part of inspection and maintenance				ÿ
procedures to help detect potential coating failures.				ÿ
Cross Hatch/ Cross Cut Method				ÿ
The coating is cut into small squares, thereby reducing lateral bonding, and the adhesion				ÿ
assessed against ISO, ASTM or Corporate Standards.				ÿ
Elcometer 1540 Cross Cut Tester				ÿ
Simple instrument for quickly determining the adhesion of a large number of paints.				ÿ
Made from special steel, it has 11 tapered teeth with 1mm spacing.				ÿ
Two series of lines are cut at right angles to obtain a pattern of 100 squares.				ÿ
