The ability of coatings to withstand wear caused by repeated cleaning operations and to withstand penetration by soiling agents is an important consideration both from a practical point of view and when comparing and rating such coatings. This International Standard describes 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 trans
