Paints and varnishes - Determination of wet-scrub resistance and cleanability of coatings (ISO 11998:1998)

The ability of coatings to withstand wear by repeated cleaning operations and toresist permanent blemishing by stains is an important consideration both from a  practical point of view and when comparing and rating such coatings. The standard specifies an accelerated method for the determination of wet-scrub resistance. With regard to the cleanability of coatings, only the method itself and not the soiling agents are specified.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung der Naßabriebbeständigkeit und der Reinigungsfähigkeit von Beschichtungen (ISO 11998:1998)

Anwendungsbereich
Die Eigenschaft von Beschichtungen, Abrieb durch wiederholte Reinigungsvorgänge sowie dauerndem Unansehnlichwerden durch Verunreinigungen zu widerstehen, ist ein wichtiger Gesichtspunkt sowohl von der praktischen Anwendung her als auch zum Vergleichen und Einstufen solcher Beschichtungen. Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Kurzverfahren zur Bestimmung der Nassabriebbeständigkeit fest. Für die Bestimmung der Reinigungsfähigkeit wird nur das Verfahren selbst festgelegt, nicht aber die Mittel zum Verunreinigen der Beschichtungen.
ANMERKUNG   Da diese Eigenschaften nicht nur von der Qualität einer Beschichtung, sondern auch vom Substrat, vom Beschichtungsverfahren, von den Trocknungs-/Härtungsbedingungen und anderen Faktoren abhängen, sind die Ergebnisse nicht direkt auf die Praxis übertragbar. In dieser Norm bezieht sich die Bewertung der Beschichtung auf ein definiertes Substrat, ein festgelegtes Beschichtungsverfahren, festgelegte Trocknungs-/Härtungsbedingungen und ein definiertes Scheuerverfahren.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 11998 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 9, General test
methods for paints and varnishes.
Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard.

Paints and varnishes — Determination of wet-scrub resistance and
cleanability of coatings
1 Scope
The ability of coatings to withstand wear caused by repeated cleaning operations and to resist
permanent blemishing by stains is an important consideration both from a practical point of view and
when comparing and rating such coatings. This International Standard specifies an accelerated method
for the determination of wet-scrub resistance. With regard to the cleanability of coatings, only the
method itself and not the soiling agents are specified.
NOTE — Since these properties depend not only on the quality of a coating but also on the substrate, the method of
application, the drying conditions and other factors, the results obtained are not directly transferable to actual
practice. In this standard the evaluation of the coating is based on a defined substrate, a fixed application method,
specified drying conditions and a defined method of wet scrubbing.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are
subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.
Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply.
3.1 cleanability: The ability of a dry coating film to withstand penetration by soiling agents and to be
freed from them through the cleaning process without removing more than a defined film thickness.
3.2 scrub cycle: One reciprocal movement of the scrub pad over the full stroke length in both
directions.

3.3 stroke length: The total distance, end to end, traversed by the scrub pad in a scrub testing
machine.
3.4 wet-scrub resistance: The ability of a dry coating film to sustain less than a specified loss in film
thickness, averaged over a defined area, when exposed to 200 wet-scrub cycles.
4 Principle
The test coating is applied to a test panel using a film applicator at the specified gap clearance. After
drying and conditioning, the coated panel is weighed and subjected to 200 wet-scrub cycles in a scrub
testing machine. It is then washed, dried and weighed again to determine its loss in mass, from which
the mean loss in film thickness is calculated.
For the determination of cleanability, soiling agents are applied to similarly prepared coated panels. The
soiling agents specified are left in contact with the coating film for a specified time. The coated, soiled
panels are then subjected to 200 wet-scrub cycles.
Through comparison of the mean loss in film thickness with a specified value, as agreed between
interested parties, the coating can be rated in wet-scrub resistance classes.
When the applied soiling agent is observed to be removed and the coating is wet-scrub resistant, the
coating is said to be cleanable in terms of the soiling agent used.
5 Reagents
5.1 Washing liquid
Use a 2,5 g/l solution of sodium -dodecylbenzenesulfonate in water of grade 3 purity as defined in
n
ISO 3696. The solution shall be allowed to stand before use until all air-bubbles and foam have
dissipated.
5.2 Soiling agents
The soiling agents and manner of application shall be agreed between the interested parties.
6 Apparatus
1)
6.1 Test panel, made of PVC film free of migration-susceptible chemical plasticizers, of sufficient
rigidity to ensure a flat surface, impervious to and unaffected by water or aliphatic organic solvents and
of nominal thickness 0,25 mm, 430 mm long and not less than 80 mm wide.
Other types of plastic film may be used where the coating contains solvent which may adversely affect
the PVC film. If the coating delaminates before or during the test, another, more suitable substrate shall
be used.
6.2 Film applicator (preferably an automatic film applicator), used at an application speed of 10
