Improved mechanical resistance is part of today's quality requirements. One important criteria for assessing this feature is abrasion resistance. Depending on the nature and purpose of product, various testing methods are available. There are testing methods related to the "abrasion by friction" concept. Others are based on the projection of abrasive particles on to the test specimen. These techniques provide valuable information about materials and processes. To meet industry's growing needs for research and control, Elcometer develops, manufactures and supplies a range of instruments designed for wear resistance tests. Standardised or conventional, these tests are widely used for numerous applications.
The Elcometer 1720 Abrasion & Washability Tester is robust, reliable and extremely versatile machines have been designed for testing the abrasion, washability, brushability and resistance of a wide range of materials including paint, lacquers, inks, coatings, leather, wood,…
Using a free floating head to follow the contours of the sample, the Taber® 5750 is the ideal abrasion tester for flat or curved surfaces. It may also be used as a scratch tool, using the scratch kit accessory.
