The Automotive Coating Scratch Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the scratch resistance of automotive coatings. It is suitable for single-layer or multilayer painted panels and uses controlled ball-ended steel needles under defined loads to assess coating durability. The tester provides reproducible, quantitative data on scratch resistance, supporting R&D, quality control, and comparative evaluation of automotive surface coatings.
Application
The Automotive Coating Scratch Tester is widely used for:
Assessment of scratch resistance of automotive exterior coatings
Evaluation of single-layer or composite paint systems
Testing coating durability under defined mechanical load
Comparative studies of protective surface coatings and material formulations
Specific testing product: Automotive Coating Scratch Tester
Standards
The instrument complies with international and national standards for coating and mechanical surface testing:
ISO 1518 – Paints and varnishes – Determination of scratch resistance
IEC 60950‑1 – Information technology equipment – Safety, Part 1: General requirements (mechanical strength and scratch resistance of enclosures)
IEC 60335‑1 – Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety, Part 1: General requirements (mechanical strength and surface scratch resistance)
BS 3900 – Paint test methods, including scratch and abrasion performance
ASTM D5178 – Test method for scratch resistance using a linear scratch device
