The abrasion resistance of a component is the relative change in gloss in percent based on the initial gloss level. A gloss measurement is carried out on the component in its unchanged state.
The component is then rubbed with a micro-abrasive grain attached to a type C friction pin.
The gloss is then measured in the scrubbed area and the abrasion resistance is determined.
