Features

Coated and uncoated surfaces need to be tested for resistance to abrasion caused by a brush, sponge, scouring pad, sand paper, and other means. Abrasion resistance can be tested by wet abrasion methods using scrub media or cleaning solutions. The most common applications are testing the scrub resistance of interior wall paints, floor tiles, shower stalls, and furniture surfaces. The abrasion tester can examine the washability of a coated surface for the removal of stains. Detergents and cleaning solutions can be tested and evaluated in a reproducible manner.

Procedure

  • Attach the samples in the acrylic sample boxes

  • Fill in a freshly prepared aqueous suspension

  • The stroke length of the instrument is 130 mm ± 2 mm in two parralel boxes

  • Attach a wiper blade (e.g. CR Bosch Profile 32) with a load of 15 g/cm (80 mm blade 120 g)

  • Test two samples on a double stroke instrument parralell or in row

  • Setup instrument to 10.000 cycles

  • Samples need to be turned after 10.000 cycles

  • Run test for another 10.000 cycles

  • Measure transmission haze of cleaned and dried surface
