Scheuertests

Washability and abrasion tests can be used to evaluate the resistance of uncoated and coated surfaces of a wide variety of substrates and materials, such as metal, wood, textiles, leather, glass, porcelain, ceramics, and many more.
This allows the wear, stability against liquids, and loss of color and/or structure due to wet or dry abrasion to be determined, and everyday situations, such as washing processes or the general wear and tear of a surface, to be simulated.
