适用范围：<p id="s00013">Paints often become soiled, especially near doorways, windows, and in work and play areas. These test methods cover the determination of the relative resistance of different paints to erosion when repeatedly scrubbed during the life of the paint.</p> <p id="s00014">Test Method D 4213<astmref rid="a00002"> is a similar scrub resistance test using a weight-loss technique and reporting volumetric film erosion rates.</p> <p id="s00015">Test Method A measures scrub resistance by the traditional cycles-to-failure concept. Poor correlation in scrub testing can be attributable to among other things variations in the stiffness of the brush bristles, condition of washability tester, application and drying conditions. In an attempt to improve reproducibility, Test Method B has been developed.</p><p>1.1 These test methods cover a procedure for determining the resistance of wall paints to erosion caused by scrubbing, referred to herein after as "scrub resistance."</p><p>1.2 Two test methods are covered as follows:</p><p>1.2.1 Test Method A Cycles-to-failure obtained on test paint.</p><p>1.2.2 Test Method B Ratio expressed as a percentage of cycles-to-failure obtained on the test paint to that obtained on a concurrent run with a known reference paint.</p><p>1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.</p><p>This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.</p>
