Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter - Basic Kit (6 x 1mm)

The Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter provides an immediate and accurate assessment of coating adhesion, a vital parameter for the long-term performance and durability of painted or coated surfaces. This Basic Kit, featuring a versatile 6 x 1mm cutter, is designed for rapid and reliable adhesion testing in both field and laboratory environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Instant Adhesion Assessment: Quickly determine the quality of the bond between the coating and the substrate, or between coating layers.

• Robust Construction: Built for durability, the Elcometer 107 is ideal for testing thin, thick, or tough coatings on various surfaces, ensuring longevity and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

• Optimal Cutter for Thin Coatings: The 6 x 1mm cutter type is specifically suited for testing coatings with a thickness range of 0 - 60µm (0 - 2.4 mils), providing precise cuts for accurate evaluation.

• Simple & Effective Method: The cross-hatch method involves making a series of parallel cuts, followed by another series at right angles, creating a grid. The adhesion is then assessed by visually comparing the grid to standardized charts (provided in the kit).

• Ergonomic Design: Features a robust handle with a large, non-slip grip, ensuring comfortable and secure handling during the cutting process.

• Versatile, Quick-Change Cutter: The kit includes a four-sided cutter, allowing for quick changes and enabling adhesion testing across a range of coating thicknesses with different cutter types (1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, and 3mm, though only the 1mm is included in this specific kit).

• Comprehensive Basic Kit: This kit includes everything you need to start testing:

  • Robust handle

  • 6 x 1mm four-sided cutter

  • Hexagonal wrench for cutter changes

  • Presentation storage case for protection and portability

  • Detailed instructions with a Classification of Adhesion Test Results chart
