The Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester is used to test the resistance of paint, varnish or coatings to scratching, wearing, and color loss due to wet or dry abrasion, by simulating everyday wear from cleaning actions or general use. The test is either used as a “pass or fail” test by testing a specified number of strokes or defining the minimum number of strokes at which a coating fails by checking at regular intervals. The Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester is suitable for a wide range of scrub, abrasion and washability tests that are in use.
