This machine is widely used to test the resistance of many materials to scrub, abrasion, washing. Paints, varnishes, other coatings and finishing can be applied on various supporting media e.g. plastic, glass, wood, paper, leather etc., and submitted to the accelerated test, by reciprocating brushes, sponges or abrasives on the samples with(or without) reagent depending on methods. When applicable, the machine is fitted with a dosing peristaltic pump .
This machine can be in accordance with ASTM D 2486 or ISO 11998/BS 3900 only through changing the different scrub device. Wearing, loss of gloss, damages or soil removal capability of detergents can be observed with high repeatability and reproducibility.
