Crosshatch scratch tester

Introduction
Crosshatch scratch tester/Scratch tester makes contacting relative motion between the scratching head and material surface for the evaluation of the sensory level of scratches, changes in color difference between scratched area and unscratched area, or the detaching situation of scratched material surface coating after adhesive tape treatment. It is a commonly used instrument to determine the scratch resistance for material surface and coating.

Application
The instrument is suitable to test automotive interior materials, plastics, rubber, leather, coated fabrics, coated materials, compound material, paint, ink, soft metal, etc. It is widely used in the area of product quality control, newly developed product performance verification, inspection agency test, etc.
