Abrasion resistance is an important test to determine the durability of your products, particularly for flooring and walking surfaces. The test involves mounting a flat specimen to a turntable platform that rotates on a vertical axis at a fixed speed. Characteristic rub-wear action is produced by contact of the test specimen against the sliding rotation of the two abrading wheels. The results of the test determine loss in coasting, change in gloss, color loss, or other changes in appearance.
ICC-ES laboratories have expert engineers on site performing a variety of tests on many products. Partnering with us means getting accurate results in a timely manner. We conduct abrasion resistance tests for various products, including but not limited to:
Below is a partial list of standards or criteria that are used for assessing abrasion resistance:
