Scope1.1 This test method covers an accelerated procedure fordetermining the resistance of paints to erosion caused byscrubbi

Although scrub resistance tests are intendedprimarily for interior coatings, they are sometimes used withexterior coatings as an additional measure of film performance.

Summary of Test Method3.1 The material under test is applied to a black plastic scrubtest panel, and after drying one week, a section of the test panelis placed in a straight-line abrasion tester, adjacent to a similarsection of a sta
9、ndard calibration panel. The two sections arescrubbed simultaneously to produce essentially identical abra-sion experiences and the amount of erosion loss in each sectiondetermined from the panel weights before and after scrubbing.3.2 The scrub resistance on a dry-film basis is calculated asthe perc
10、ent ratio of the weight loss of the calibration panel tothat of the test panel. From that value, scrub resistance iscalculated on the basis of both dry- and wet-film volume.4. Significance and Use4.1 Interior paint films often become soiled, especially neardoorways, windows, and play areas, and freq
11、uently need to becleaned by scrubbing. This test method covers the determina-tion of the relative resistance of paints to erosion whenscrubbed.4.2 The precision of scrub resistance measurements inabsolute physical values, such as Test Methods D2486 cycles-to-failure or this test method, microlitres
12、per 100 cycles, is poordue to the relatively large effect of subtle and difficult-to-control variables in test conditions. The test method describedherein minimizes this problem by using a standard calibrationpanel as an integral part of each scrubbing operation andrelating its weight loss to that o

Thus, for example, a scrubresistance value of 83

Immediatelyafter cleaning and dusting, place the panel on the drawdownplate (see 5.7) and tape or otherwise fasten it to the far end.Rub the panel against the plate with a lint-fre
37、e cloth to developstatic attraction.6.2 Position the applicator at the fastened end of the panel,with its 7-mil (175-m) clearance edge down, and evenlydistribute approximately 12 mL of test paint across the front ofthe blade. Draw the paint down at a uniform rate of speed. Therate of application sho

Air dry for one week in a horizontal position, in awell ventilated area kept at 23 6 2C (73 6 3.5F) and 50 610 % relative humidity.6.3 At the end of the specified drying time cut the panelaccu
39、rately in half with a paper cutter across the short dimen-sion, and set aside one of the half-sections for a second test.Take the other half-section and make two subsections bycutting again, parallel to and 75 mm (3 in.) from the previouscut.6.4 Weigh the narrower subsection in grams to four decimal
40、places. It is essential while weighing, for the static shield to reston the weighing pan and the panel to rest fully and flatly on thestatic shield.NOTE 5Weighing to four places is needed to ensure accuracy in thethird (viz., to the nearest mg).6.5 Place the two subsections in the machine, on the gl
41、asssupport plate, with the first-cut edge across the exact center lineof the scrub path, and the wider subsection positioned so thatthe two second-cut edges are adjacent.6.6 Repeat procedures 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 using the selectedcalibration panel (see Note 6), placing the first-cut edge of thecalibrat
42、ion panel adjacent to that of the test panel. See Fig. 1for the configuration of the panel subsections on the supportplate at this point.NOTE 6Use a calibration panel type similar in scrub resistance to thatof the test paint, unless a single standard is required for a widely varyinggroup of paints.
43、In the latter case use calibration panels that can becharacterized as having “good” or intermediate scrub resistance.6.7 Place the Lilly frame (see 5.1) on the panel assemblyand clamp it down firmly to prevent any shift in the testassembly while scrubbing.6.8 Soak the sponge in tapwater and squeeze
44、to a weight ofabout 20 g, then place it in the sponge holder making sure thesponge protrudes approximately 5 to 6 mm (14 in.) (see Fig. 2).6.9 Dampen the abrasive pad with tap water. Fill the 30-mLsyringe with scrub medium and distribute 15 mL evenly overits unprinted face.6.10 Place the unprinted f
45、ace downward on the panelassembly and attach the sponge holder with sponge to thescrubbing machine, with the sponge resting squarely on thepad.6.11 Distribute an additional 15 mL of scrub medium alongthe scrub path then start the machine. (No additional scrubmedium is required during the test).6.12
46、Scrub until either one of the two center sections hasbeen worn down sufficiently for the black substrate to becomefaintly visible without actual break-through. In any case, do notexceed 800 cycles. During the first 200 cycles (if both films lastthat long) reverse the direction of the pad every 50 cy
47、cles, andabove 200 cycles, reverse after every 100, so that the pad is runabout the same number of cycles in each direction. Record thenumber of scrub cycles at the stopping point.NOTE 7If the scrub medium obscures the abrasion path, making itdifficult to observe the show-thru status of the film, st
48、op the machine atconvenient intervals and sweep the surface briefly with a 50-mm (2-in.)paint brush dampened with water.6.13 Remove and wash off the two center (narrow) subsec-tions with tap water. Press them between paper towels toabsorb free moisture, then oven-dry for 15 min at 50 to 55C(120 to 1
49、30F). After drying reweigh the two subsections todetermine their weight losses, recording them as Mtestand Mnin grams to four decimal places (“n” indicates identifying letterof the calibration panel type being used in the particular test,for example MA, MC, MD, etc.).6.14 Starting with 6.3, repeat the subsequent steps with theother halves of the test and calibration panels, to obtain twosets of weight loss values. For this second test use a fresh padand reverse the positions of the test and calibration panelsections in the machine.6.15 Determine the densi
