About Multi Blade Cross Hatch Cutter Kit
Multi Cross Hatch Cutter Kit. Cross hatch cutter will allow 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. Cross hatch test has been used widely to assess the adhesion of paint coatings. Cross hatch testing depends on factors like flexibility of coating, the presence of interference layers between coating and substrate etc. The test method specifies suitable cutting tools with either single or multiple cutting edges. The NEW multi cross hatch cutter kit is provided with multiple cutters of 1, 2 and 3mm spaces between the cutting edges, has advantages over the single cutting blade for both safety and simplicity in use. One Cross hatch cutter kit includes the entire cutter therefore customer need not purchase different cutters.
The cross hatch cutter kit consists of a hardened carbide ground to a high standard of precision so that cutting edges are smoothly cut. A lightweight, comfortable handle is fitted to provide a firm hold. The tool can be assembled in four ways with the use of a retaining thumb screw. Also available API Cutters 1.6mm and 16 teeth separately.
This cross hatch cutter complies with BS EN ISO 2409 / BS 3900 E6 / ASTM D3359 methods of measurement.
Versatile Assessment for Coating AdhesionThis cross hatch cutter kit is meticulously designed to assess the adhesion of coatings on various surfaces, allowing professionals to achieve reliable results in both laboratory and field environments. The range of blade options accommodates different coating thicknesses, making it a valuable tool for quality control across manufacturing, service, and trade sectors.
Precision and Convenience for ProfessionalsEquipped with precision-grade blades and an ergonomic, non-slip grip, the kit delivers consistent and repeatable cuts every time. The inclusion of thoughtful accessories such as a blade guard, magnifier, and cleaning brush streamlines the testing process, while the compact carrying box enhances portability and protection during fieldwork.
FAQs of Multi Blade Cross Hatch Cutter Kit:
Q: How do I use the Multi Blade Cross Hatch Cutter Kit for adhesion testing?
A: Begin by selecting the suitable blade size based on your coating thickness. Place the cutter on the coated surface, apply constant pressure, and draw the cutter to create a grid pattern. Use the magnifier and adhesive tape to assess paint or coating adhesion in accordance with ASTM D3359 or ISO 2409 standards.
Q: What surfaces can the cross hatch cutter kit be used on?
A: This kit is specifically designed for painted and coated surfaces, suitable for laboratory and field testing across a broad spectrum of industrial and construction applications.
Q: When should I replace the blades in the kit?
A: Blades should be replaced when you notice dull cutting edges, inconsistent grid depth, or any signs of wear that compromise the accuracy of your test results. The kits sharp and replaceable blades facilitate easy maintenance.
Q: Where can I purchase or source this cutter kit in India?
A: The Multi Blade Cross Hatch Cutter Kit is available through various channels including dealers, distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders across India.
Q: What is the process for conducting a cross-cut adhesion test using this kit?
A: The process involves scoring the coated surface in a grid pattern using the selected blade, then applying adhesive tape over the cuts and swiftly removing it to evaluate the extent of coating removal. This test is in line with ASTM D3359 and ISO 2409 compliance.
Q: What are the benefits of using this kit over other adhesion assessment methods?
A: This kit offers precision measurement, repeatability, portable design, and compliance with international standards, enabling reliable quality assurance for both field and laboratory environments.
