Product Description
In high wear applications, coating and surface treatments are critical. Taber abrasion testing gauges the effectiveness of coatings by abrading the coated test surface with abrasive wheels while controlling pressure and rate of cycles. Abrasion resistance is calculated as loss in weight at a specified number of abrasion cycles, as loss in weight per cycle, or as number of cycles required to remove a unit amount of coating thickness.
Equipment: Taber 5155 Dual Rotary Platform Abraser
Application: ASTM D4060 – Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings by the Taber Abraser
Common Use: Determining the resistance of organic coatings to abrasion by an accelerated test technology for use in verification, R&D, or Qualification. A plane, rigid surface of specified dimensions, usually a metal panel, is required for testing. Contact us to discuss your application!
