Surface abrasion is divided into three aspects: wear, scuffing, and fatigue. Wear is the damaging, gradual removal or deformation of material at solid surfaces. The reason of wear can be mechanical or chemical. Scuffing is a particularly damaging form of wear in highly loaded lubricated contacts such as piston rings and gear teeth. Fatigue is the stressing of an adhesive material repeatedly.
Abrasion Impact
Abrasion damage can have an impact on shipment, storage, handling, and end-use. Abrasion can cause degradation and legibility of the product information, which is crucial to pharmaceutical products and medical devices.
RT-01 Ink Rub Tester can be used to measure the abrasion resistance of printed inks, coatings, laminates, and substrates.
