1、Designation: D6037 13Standard Test Methods forDry Abrasion Mar Resistance of High Gloss Coatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6037; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers procedures for evaluating therelative mar resistance of high gloss coatings. Two testmethods are included. T
3、est Method A uses a device thatcontains a rotating specimen holder and two abrasive wheels.Test Method B uses a device that contains a reciprocatingspecimen holder and a single wheel that has been fitted withabrasive paper. Either method can be used to evaluate the dryabrasion mar resistance of coat
4、ings applied to planar, rigidsurfaces. Each test method provides good discrimination be-tween highly mar resistant coatings.NOTE 1The mar resistance values obtained by these test methods haveno absolute significance. They should only be used to derive relativeperformance rankings for test panels tha
5、t have been prepared from theseries of coatings that are currently being evaluated. If mar resistancevalues are quoted between laboratories, it is essential that a commonstandard be measured and that the values be compared to that standard.Even then, the values should be used with caution.1.2 The va
6、lues stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate s
7、afety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

11、ecific to This Standard:3.1.1 mar resistance, nthe ability of a coating to resistpermanent deformation or fracture, resulting from the applica-tion of a dynamic mechanical force. These test methodsmeasure resistance to visible damage caused by mild abrasion.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The coatings
12、that are being evaluated are applied atuniform dry film thickness to planar panels of uniform surfacetexture. After drying or curing, or both, the panels are marred.Mar resistance is assessed by measuring the coatings glosswithin the abraded and unabraded areas of test panels. Marresistance is direc
13、tly related to the coatings ability to retaingloss in abraded areas.5. Significance and Use5.1 Coatings, particularly the high gloss coatings used onautomobiles, boats, toys, etc., are subject to a wide variety ofconditions (for example, wiping, cleaning, and exposure) thatcan mar their surface. The
14、 ability of these coatings to maintaintheir appearance is an important product attribute. These testmethods provide a way to estimate the ability of high glosscoatings to resist mar damage.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 onPaint and Related Coatings, Materials, a

United States15.2 These test methods do not provide fundamental values.However they are suitable for estimating the ability of highgloss coatings to resist mar.5.3 Since the susceptibility of coatings to marri
18、ng varieswidely, the number of cycles that are needed to cause “rel-evant” mar damage also varies. Usually, 2 to 50 cycles aresufficient.TEST METHOD A6.

In this method only the500-g load per wheel is used unless otherwise specified.6.4 Refacing Discan S-11 refacing disc3for resurfacingthe abrasive wheels. The load selected is the same as the testload.6
20、.5 Abrasive Wheels“Calibrase” wheels CS-10,3unlessotherwise specified or agreed. Wheels that have worn to thediameter of the wheel label should not be used. Prior to testing,ensure the expiration date has not passed.NOTE 2The abrasive quality of a Calibrase wheel may change withhardness. Hardness ca
21、n change with time and storage conditions.However, abrasive quality cant be inferred from hardness measurementsalone. Many other factors can also affect abrasive quality.6.6 Glossmeter, with 20 geometry complying with TestMethod D523 but with an opening no larger than 25 by 75 mmto accommodate 100 b
22、y 100-mm test panels. In addition,geometry that places the panel with the test surface facingupwards tends to minimize the chance of stray light affectingthe measurement when complete coverage of the opening is notattained.NOTE 3For coatings that are semi- to high-gloss, a glossmeter with a60 geomet
23、ry may be better suited.NOTE 4Subjective evaluations may be made visually by comparingabraded panels with a measured abraded standard using one of theprocedures in Test Method D4449.7. Preparation of Specimens7.1 Prepare a minimum of two 100 by 100-mm panels foreach coating that is being tested. Pre
24、pare and coat panels inaccordance with Practices D609 and D823.7.1.1 Panels,4that is, metal panels with a 6.5-mm holedrilled in the center to accommodate the mounting spindle, areavailable.7.1.2 If it is not convenient to apply test coatings to panels,4other planar, distortion-free substrates can be
25、 used by substi-tuting a “Drive Pin Type” specimen holder for the standardpanel holder.NOTE 5It is important that the panels be planar for reproducibleresults. Cutting and drilling of painted panels has not been satisfactory.NOTE 6Measurements are color dependent. Dark colors give lowervalues of glo
26、ss retention. To standardize, it is recommended that testing bedone using a black coating. Clearcoats are applied over a black basecoat.For other colors a black panel should be included as a control.3The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this timeis Taber Industries, 4

Conditioning8.1 Cure the coated panels under conditions of temperatureand humidity as agreed upon between the purchaser and theseller.8.2 Unless otherwise agreed upon between the purchaserand the seller,
30、 condition the coated panels for at least 24 h at23 6 2C and 50 6 5 % relative humidity in accordance withSpecification D3924. Conduct the test in the same environmentor immediately after removal therefrom.9. Procedure9.1 Using a glossmeter that is calibrated and verified foraccuracy, measure the 20
31、 gloss at four positions within the testarea that will be abraded, approximately 38 mm from thecenter of the specimen and 90 apart. Record the mean of thesefour readings as “Unabraded Gloss.”NOTE 7It is recommended that the panel be marked, or a template becreated, to ensure that measurements are ta
32、ken in the area that will beabraded.9.2 Mount the pair of Calibrase wheels to be used on theirrespective flange holders, taking care not to handle them bytheir abrasive surfaces. Select the same load to be used in thetest and affix it to the abraser. Mount an S-11 refacing disc onthe turntable. Refa
33、ce the wheels for 25 cycles before abradingeach specimen. In each case lightly brush the residue from theresurfacing operation off each wheel. Discard the S-11 refacingdisc after each use.9.3 Mount the test panel on the turntable and subject it toabrasion for a selected number of cycles. An abrasion
34、 of 10cycles and 500 g-load are typically used, unless otherwiseagreed upon. Use a soft camels hair brush or compressed airto remove residue from the specimen after abrasion.9.4 Repeating 9.1, measure the gloss at four positions withinthe abraded area immediately following the abrasion test unlessot
35、herwise agreed upon by the interested parties. Record themean of these four readings as “Abraded Gloss.”9.4.1 If the panel was marked for measurement of un-abraded gloss, it can be easily placed in the correct position formeasuring abraded gloss. However, to compensate for anyabrasion unevenness, it
36、 is desirable to make minor adjustmentsto panel position to get the four lowest gloss readings withinthe abraded area (see Note 4).9.5 Calculate the percent gloss retention for each panel fromthe following equation:percent gloss retention 5 100 3 abraded gloss/unabraded gloss! (1)9.6 Calculate the g

39、recision and Bias511.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method is basedon an interlaboratory study of ASTM D6037, Test Methods forDry Abrasion Mar Resistance of High Gloss Coatings MethodA, conducted in 2012. Each of eight laboratories testedthree or four different materials. Every “test result”
40、representsan individual determination, and all participants were asked toreport five test results. Unabraded and abraded gloss weremeasured and reported with both 20 and 60 geometry for allsamples.
