Thanks to the availability of different test heads, this range offers considerable versatility for laboratory testing and quality-control applications, where the response of a coated surface to repeated rubbing, cleaning or wet-abrasion cycles needs to be evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong>abrasion scrub tester for paints and coatings<\/strong> makes it possible to verify how effectively an applied film retains its surface characteristics when subjected to repeated contact with a brush, sponge or abrasive pad. Depending on the test method used, the evaluation can identify wear, changes in appearance, loss of coating or differences in cleanability.<\/p>\n<p>The operating principle involves securing the coated sample on the test platform and subjecting it to the reciprocating movement of the selected test head. Depending on the configuration, testing can be performed either dry or with a controlled supply of liquid, reproducing conditions associated with washability, wet abrasion, scrub resistance or dirt-removal testing.<\/p>\n<p>A distinctive feature of these abrasion testers is the presence of <strong>two operating channels<\/strong>, allowing the test to be performed on two surface paths during the same test cycle. This solution is useful when comparing two samples, checking different areas of the same panel or managing repeated tests on paints and coatings more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>The range is intended for coatings whose performance needs to be evaluated during cleaning or rubbing conditions. Typical applications include washable paints, protective finishes, coatings applied to test panels and coated surfaces designed to be cleaned or exposed to repeated contact during use.<\/p>\n<p>Different configurations are available depending on the required test method and the type of mechanical action required:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>SAAB526\/1<\/strong>, with a nylon brush, for scrub-resistance tests in accordance with <strong>ASTM D2486<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>SAAB526\/2<\/strong>, with an abrasive pad, for wet-abrasion and cleanability tests in accordance with <strong>ISO 11998<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>SAAB526\/3<\/strong>, with a sponge, for tests in accordance with <strong>ASTM D3450<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>SAAB526\/4<\/strong>, with a sponge and abrasive pad, for tests in accordance with <strong>ASTM D4213<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>SAAB526\/5<\/strong>, with a sponge, for evaluating cleanability and dirt pickup resistance in accordance with <strong>ASTM D4828<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>SAAB526\/6<\/strong>, with a bristle brush, for specific testing requirements involving this type of head<\/li>\n<li><strong>SAAB527<\/strong>, configured with a nylon brush and abrasive pad to provide, in one instrument, the configurations intended for tests in accordance with <strong>ASTM D2486<\/strong> and <strong>ISO 11998<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <strong>SAAB527<\/strong> model is particularly suited to laboratories that need to perform both brush-based scrub-resistance tests and wet-abrasion tests with an abrasive pad. Having both configurations available on the same instrument makes it possible to address different inspection requirements while using the same two-channel testing platform.<\/p>\n<p>Test parameters can be set using the <strong>touchscreen<\/strong>, allowing the operator to configure the test and monitor its progress easily. The adjustable-flow pump also allows liquid dosing to be managed during wet-abrasion or washability tests, helping maintain more controlled operating conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Abrasion and rubbing tests can be used both during coating development and for production quality-control checks. Comparing samples produced with different formulations or application cycles makes it possible to assess finish resistance under simulated conditions and identify the solution that is most consistent with the intended application.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>two-channel multifunction abrasion scrub testers<\/strong> offer a versatile solution for evaluating paints and coatings through linear-abrasion, washability, cleanability and scrub-resistance testing.
