Wear
A
particular coatings ability to withstand certain types of wear are important and
can be determined with accelerated test methods like with the West Abrasion
Scrub Tester 903 Based on the units configuration these test conform
to
DIN
53778 Pt2, ASTM D2486-89, ASTM D3450-90, ASTM D4213-87, ASTM D4828-92, BS1248
part 2, BS7719, BS3900-F17, EN 233-89, ISO
11998
Another test method that determines
both wear and tear on coatings is the Taber Abrasers. This instrument uses the
principle of spinning a test sample under abrasive wheels. This test method
complies with BS3900; E15, ISO 7784.2
