ASTM D3234-88(1999)

Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Petroleum Wax Coatings (Withdrawn 2004)

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers determination of the abrasion resistance of glossy smooth coatings of petroleum wax or wax-based blends applied to paper and paperboard.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
