Description
The PosiTest® CH Cross Hatch Adhesion Tester is a high-precision instrument engineered for professionals who require reliable, repeatable, and standards-compliant coating adhesion measurements. Designed for laboratory, industrial, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, construction, protective coatings, and QC/QA environments, this advanced tester evaluates how effectively a coating adheres to a substrate by cutting a defined lattice pattern into the coating surface.
Fully compliant with ISO 2409, ISO 16276-2, ASTM D3359, AS 3894.9 / 1580.408.4, and JIS K 5600-5-6, the PosiTest® CH ensures accurate and globally recognized test results. It includes a complete set of tools and accessories required for immediate, standardized cross hatch testing—making it an ideal choice for coating inspectors, paint manufacturers, contractors, and R&D specialists.
Built for durability and comfort, the tester features an ergonomic non-slip handle that provides a secure grip for long, continuous use. Its pivoting cutting head automatically adjusts to the surface, ensuring perfect alignment, equal cutting depth, and consistent pressure for highly repeatable results. The high-grade hardened steel blade is engineered with four precision cutting edges, allowing longer operational life and quick, tool-free replacement.
A choice of ISO- or ASTM-compliant adhesive tapes guarantees full compatibility with different international test requirements, making it versatile for global operations. Whether used on metal, wood, plastics, or specialized substrates, the PosiTest® CH delivers fast, dependable, and professional adhesion classifications that help identify coating quality, surface preparation effectiveness, and long-term performance expectations.
