American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved Feb. 1, 2012. Published February 2012. Originally approved in 1966. Last previous edition approved in 2006 as D2486 – 06. 4 p. 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.
Two test methods are covered as follows:
1. Test Method A—Cycles-to-failure obtained on test paint.
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.
