Abrasion Resistance

• ABRASION RESISTANCE Abrasion resistance is
  related to the hardness, elasticity and toughness
  of a film.
•  
• A. Taber abrasion
• The taber test determines the resistance of a
  coating to the abrasive action produced by
  abrasive wheels. The test is run until initial
  wear thru.
• 1. NEMA Standards LD3 Ability of the surface
  of a high-pressure Decorative Laminate (HPDL) to
  maintain its Design or Color when Subjected to
  Abrasive Wear. This method uses CS-0 wheels
  wrapped with S-42 aluminum oxide sandpaper strips
  (180 grit), 500 gram loads and 60 vacuum level.

Yellowing

• UV YELLOWING TEST Two UVA 351 lamps, 48 inches
  in length, set 8 inches from the test panel are
  utilized. The resistance to color change is a
  comparative test subjected for 168 hours exposure
  versus a non-exposed part. (UVA 351 is the
  wavelength of UV rays from the sun coming through
  a glass window.)
• Delta B equates to changes in yellowing.
• Delta E equates to overall color change.

Antimicrobial Technology

• Protection against microbes begins with proper
  hygiene and cleanliness. Cleaning and washing
  materials with hot water and detergents is one of
  the best ways to remove and kill attached
  microbes. Use of a dependable, durable and safe
  antimicrobial is the best way to supplement
  proper hygiene practices. By offering this added
  protection afforded by our coating suppliers
  antimicrobial technology, additional value is
  created for your product.
• The addition of the Antimicrobial Technology does
  not change the appearance of the pre-finished
  flooring in any way.
• There are no manufacturing changes that take
  place when applying the Antimicrobial coatings.

Scratch Resistance Topcoat

• GARDNER SCRUB TEST This test determines the
  scratch-resistance of the topcoats. 
• This procedure, using a Gardner Scrub Machine,
  measures the loss of gloss after 500 cycles and
  to visually compare scratches produced by these
  scrubs. The test utilizes 3Ms Scotch-Brite
  Abrasive Pad and a 1000 gram weight. The loss of
  gloss is noted before and after 500 cycles and
  the scratches are reported as to no effect,
  slight, moderate, considerable or severe.
