UP-6009 ISO1518 Automatic Scratch Tester Test Machine Equipment For Coatings and paints

This test has been found to be useful in comparing the scratch resistance of different coatings. It is most useful in providing relative ratings for a series of coated panels exhibiting significant differences inscratch resistance.

Before 2011, there is only one standard which is used to evaluate paint scratch resistance,which against to evaluate scientifically to paints scratch resistance under different applications. After revise this standard on 2011, this test method is divided two parts: One is constant-loading, i.e the loading to panels is constant during the scratch test, and the test results is shown as max. weights which don’t damage coatings. The other is variable loading, i.e. the loading on which stylus loads test panel is increased continuously from 0 during the whole test, then measure the distance from finial point to the other point when the paint begin to appear scratch. Testing result is shown as critical loads.

As a important member of Chinese Paint & Coating Standard Committee , Biuged is responsible for drafting the relative Chinese standards on the base of ISO1518, and developed scratch testers which conforms the newest  ISO1518:2011.
