The Cross Hatch Tester is a precision tool used to evaluate the adhesion strength of paints, coatings, and other surface treatments on materials such as wood, plastic, and metal. It works by creating a fine crosshatch pattern on the coated surface, followed by the application of adhesive tape which reveals the bond of the coatings by observing how much remains intact.

This fast and dependable method is commonly used in factories, car manufacturing units, appliance plants, and finishing lines to ensure uniform coating quality. To meet global product compliance, the Cross-Hatch Tester follows ISO 2409 and ASTM D3359 standards.
A Cross Hatch Tester measures the bond between a coating and its substrate. By making evenly spaced and precise cuts on the surface, it forms a grid that clearly shows the adhesion strength of the coatings. Quality labs use a hatch tester for early detection of coating defects but manufacturers rely on it to maintain consistent quality across every batch.
