Paints and varnishes - Determination of scratch resistance - Part 1: Constant-loading method (ISO 1518-1:2011); German version EN ISO 1518-1:2011
Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung der Kratzbeständigkeit - Teil 1: Verfahren mit konstanter Last (ISO 1518-1:2011); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 1518-1:2011
Overview
The standard specifies a test method for determining under defined conditions the resistance of a single coating or a multi-coat system of paint, varnish or related product to penetration by scratching with a scratch stylus loaded with a specified load. Penetration of the stylus is to the substrate, except in the case of a multi-coat system, in which case the stylus can penetrate either to the substrate or to an intermediate coat. The method specified can be carried out a) either as a "pass/fail" test, by testing with a single specified load applied to the stylus to assess compliance with a particular specification; b) or by applying increasing loads to the stylus to determine the minimum load at which the coating is penetrated. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 002-00-07 AA "Allgemeine Prüfverfahren für Beschichtungsstoffe und Beschichtungen" ("General test methods for coating materials and coatings") at DIN.
