1 Scope
This PV describes a method for testing the micro-Scratch resistance and scrub resistance on high-gloss surfaces
A surface is referres to as high-glossy if the gloss level measurement at an angle of 60° is ＞70GU。Further gloss level measurements are performed with a measuring angle of 20°
 
This test method is suitable for determining the properties of uncoated （Eg PA PMMA）and coat-ed high-gloss surfaces （eg paint ，in-mold decoration（IMD），in-mold labeling（IML））when they are exposed to low-force friction loads。The load is roughly equivalent to that of the cleaning process the test must be performed on plane surfaces
 
The test determines the relative chang in gloss that is generated by rubbing/Scrubbing with polishing paper on the high-gloss surface
 
2 Designation
Scrub resistance （Micro-scratch resistabce）as per PV3987
 
3 Testing
3.1 Test equipment

3.2 Specimen preparation
A minimum Specimen size of 150mmx100mm is required to perfprm the test
Conditioning
There must be at least 7 days between specimen preparation and testing
For conditioning ，plan for 45h in a standard atmosphere as per VW50554-23/50-2 condition hydrophilic materials（eg polyamides）for 7 days in a standard atmosphere
Specimen preparation
Clean the specimen gently under luder lukewarm running water using only your wet hand
 
A mild laboratory flushing agent that does not leave a greasy residue can be used as a cleaning agent
The surfaces to be tested must not be damaged as a result of cleaning
Then rinse the specimen thoroughly with clear water
Dry the specimen by blowing it off with oil-free compressed air
After cleaning，condition hydrophilic materrials once again for 24h in a standard atmosphere

3.3 Test procedure
1 condition （see section3.2）
2 clean （see section3.2，for hydrophilic materials ，repeat conditioning if necessary）
3 Meassure the gloss level befor scratching，Measure the gloss level at a measuring angle of 20°
4 Rub/Scratch：Befeor each rubbing process，Clamp in a new rubbing medium。One rubbing
 Process comprise 5 double strokes。Rub with a load of 9N。If the rubbed track is not uniform
（streaky spotted），perform a repeat test
5 After rubbing，store the specimens at room temperature for 24h
6 Measure the gloss level on the track 。Align the gloss measuring device in such a way
 That  themeasuring direction is 90° relative to the rubbing direction。Make sure that the measuring hole of the gloss measuring device rests on the rubbed surface。Do not measure the first and last 10mm of the rubbed track。
 
3.4 evaluation/assessment
Determine the scrub resistance as a relative change in gloss level（%）with respect to the initial
Gloss level。The measuring angle is 20°
Calculate the relative change in gloss level as follow：
（initial gloss level - gloss level after rubbing）x 100 / initial gloss level
