Elcometer 1542 Cross Hatch Adhesion Tester
|
|
|
Adhesion
|
|
|
Adhesion
testing during 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 testing is also used as
part of inspection and maintenance
|
|
|
procedures to help detect potential coating
failures.
|
|
|
Cross Hatch/ Cross Cut
Method
|
|
|
The coating is cut into small squares, thereby reducing
lateral bonding, and the adhesion
|
|
|
assessed against
ISO, ASTM or Corporate Standards.

Elcometer 1542
Cross Hatch Adhesion Tester
|
|
|
Simple
but effective method for determining the adhesion of a large variety of
coatings.
|
|
|
The
instrument is ideal for thin coatings on flat surfaces, available with three
different spacings,
|
|
|
corresponding
to the thickness of layer to be tested:
|
|
|
 1mm spacing – for coating thickness
less than 60µm
|
|
|
2mm spacing
– for coating thickness less than 120µm
|
|
|
3mm spacing –
for coating thickness more than 120µm
|
|
|
Three
instrument types are supplied separately or combined in a kit case with
standardized brush and magnifer.
|
|
Powerful
cross cutter, with 8 cutting faces
|
|
|
Anodized aluminium handle, with a wheel for stable operation,
ideal for test panels and thin coatings.
|
|
|
Supplied
with an adjustment gauge for accurate positioning of the cutter face
