Robust cross cut testing

Our cross cut test kit contains items made from aluminum, rubber and vacuum hardened stainless steel. 

Cross cut tape test

The cross cut tape test is a method used to assess the adhesion of coatings by making a lattice pattern of cuts in the coating and applying adhesive tape to see how much coating is removed.

Cutting edge cross cut test experience

We’re always pleased to share the knowledge we’ve gained over many decades of making products to test and verify inks and coatings for our customers.
