Abrasion

BYK-Gardner Abrasion

BYK-Gardner Abrasion is a testing instrument category for evaluating surface resistance against abrasion, scrubbing, washing, and repeated cleaning processes. These instruments help users assess the performance of coatings, paints, protective layers, and surface materials based on dry abrasion, wet abrasion, scrub resistance, and washability.

In coatings and material testing, abrasion testing is essential to ensure that a surface maintains its appearance, function, and durability after use or cleaning. BYK-Gardner abrasion testers can be used to evaluate surface resistance through repeated scrubbing cycles with selected media such as nylon bristle brushes, scotch brite pads, sponges, or accessory kits according to the required test standard.

BYK-Gardner Abrasion supports testing according to international standards such as ASTM D2486, ASTM D4213, ISO 11998, and ASTM D4828. This category is suitable for architectural coatings, wall paints, industrial coatings, protective coatings, cleaning performance evaluation, stain removal, washability, scrub resistance, and quality control for products requiring consistent surface performance.
