This standard specifies a method for measuring the scratch resistance of the topcoats of single-coat or multi-coat systems of paints, varnishes and related products using a pointed stylus with continuously increasing applied loads. This test compares the scratch resistance of various coatings. It has proven to be useful in It is also very useful in evaluating the relative ratings of different painted panels with large differences in scratch resistance. Neither KS M ISO 1518-1 nor this standard specifies how to use the curved stylus specified in KS M ISO 12137. Choose from three methods depending on the specific practical problem:
