3、covers the determination of the resis-tance of plastics to surface marring caused by falling abrasiveparticles.Materials such as films,molded,or laminated plasticsmay be evaluated.1.2 A surface to be tested should be relatively flat andsmooth;the damage done by a falling object is a function of thea
4、ngle at which it strikes.Since deterioration is usually mea-sured optically,the material evaluated is normally of highinitial gloss or low initial haze.1.3 In other than flat form,materials may be comparedvisually.Care must be exercised to use the same shape ofspecimen throughout and to have the abr
