Essential: The most comprehensive scratch resistance testing interpretation

Regardless of the method used, the purpose of a scratch resistance test is to evaluate the resistance of a material's surface to scratching and abrasion. These test methods can help manufacturers and researchers determine the durability of materials, optimize product design, and meet specific product performance requirements.

What is the standard for scratch resistance test?

1. ASTM D4213-16:

This is a standard developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to evaluate the performance of scratch-resistant coatings and paints.

2. ISO 1518:

This is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for measuring the scratch resistance of coatings, paints and films.

3. ISO 19252:

This is a standard developed by ISO to measure the scratch resistance of different types of materials (e.g. plastics and coatings) under certain conditions.

4. gb/t 1730-2007:

This is a Chinese national standard for assessing the scratch resistance of coatings, paints and films.

In addition to these common standards, different industries and specific products may have their own standards for scratch resistance testing. For example, common standards used in the automotive industry include General Motors GMW14872 and Ford CETP-00.00-L-467.

Multi-Functional Scratch tester For automotive interior materials

Multi-Functional Scratch tester is applicable to all types of wiping performance test of automotive interior materials; test equipment integrated three domestic standards (fingers scraping method, a hundred grid method, and plastic scraping finger scraping method). Scratch tester is an electronic instrument capable of measuring critical load, adhesion, scratch resistance and bond strength for a wide range of surfaces. Scratch tester measures the scratch resistance of a sliding and moving surface in the relative motion to a stylus. The stylus is forced/pressed against the moving surface with precise controlled force which is normal to the surface and tangential force at the contact has to be measured. Scratch tester can be utilized for all type of industrial coating from the plasma layers used in semiconductor and optical technology used in decorative coatings used for automotive and consum...

Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds!

Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds! Breathability testing is a measure of how much gas can pass through a textile. However, there is no single "optimal" air permeability value, as it depends on the specific circumstances in which the textile is used. For example, if it is used to make sportswear, it is hoped that it has good breathability; if it is used to make insulating clothes or warm clothes, it is hoped that it can block the cold well. Therefore, when testing the air permeability of textiles, the purpose of using the textile must be clearly understood in order to obtain reasonable values. In order to accurately and quickly test the true breathability performance of a sample, specially designed and developed instruments must be used. Testing methods generally include: fabric thickness (Thickness), fabric density (Density), fabric water absorption rate (Water Absorption Rate), evaporation and mass transfer (Moistur...

Automotive materials and components testing

Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) demand the highest quality components throughout the supply chain. Every automotive material and component must undergo rigorous testing and meet the highest industry and legal requirements. Qinsun-Lab assists manufacturers and suppliers with independent assured testing services against a wide range of OEM testing specifications, national (BS, ASTM, DIN, JASO) and international (ISO, EN, SAE) standards. SATRA’s testing services are accredited to ISO 17025. Flammability Motor vehicles contain components that burn if subjected to a large enough ignition source. These include seat upholstery, headlining, trim panels and floor coverings. Qinsun-lab can conduct a range of flammability tests including FMVSS 302 and ISO 3795. Abrasion and Scratch Tester Automotive materials experience mild abrasive actions from users entering the vehicle and being seated while driving or travelling. Qinsun-lab has a range of tests including Mar...
