The ISO 1518-2011 standard is used to evaluate the scratch resistance of paints and varnishes. The standard includes scratch testing by a constant load method to determine the penetration resistance of single or multiple coatings under specified conditions. A stylus with a specified load applied is used to scratch the coating during the test to assess whether it produces scratches on the substrate. The ISO 1518 standard allows for the selection of appropriate test methods according to actual needs and provides an effective means of evaluating the scratch resistance of coatings to ensure the performance of coatings in various use environments.
