1、Designation:D627920Standard Test Method forRub Abrasion Mar Resistance of High Gloss Coatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6279;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers procedures for evaluating therelative mar resistance of a high gloss coating applied to a flat,rigid surface.Wet rub and
3、 dry rub abrasion tests are described.To fully characterize a coatings mar resistance,both testsshould be run.NOTE1Dry abrasion mar resistance can also be evaluated by usingTest Methods D6037.If a very highly mar resistant coating is beingevaluated,Test Methods D6037 will generally provide the bette
4、r perfor-mance discrimination than the dry rub test described here.However,if theequipment described in Test Methods D6037 is not available,the dry rubtest described in this test method affords a reasonable alternative.The dryrub test is also useful for evaluating coatings that are not highly marres
5、istant.1.2 Mar resistance is assessed by measuring the gloss of theabraded and unabraded areas.Mar resistance is directly relatedto the coatings ability to retain gloss in abraded areas.NOTE2The mar resistance values obtained by this test method haveno absolute significance.They should only be used
6、to derive relativeperformance rankings for test panels that 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
7、 then,the values should be used with caution.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the u
8、ser of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in
