ASTM D 968-2017 "Determination of abrasion resistance of organic coatings by shakeout method" is designed to evaluate the resistance of organic coatings to abrasive under controlled conditions. This standard applies to coatings on flat rigid surfaces, such as metal or Glass panels, measured by abrasion caused by abrasive falling from a specified height. Two methods are included: Method A uses shakeout abrasive, and Method B uses silicon carbide abrasive, which is used to simulate abrasion conditions under different application conditions. Test results are reported in the amount of abrasive per unit Coating thickness, which is used to evaluate the abrasion resistance of coatings. This standard emphasizes that testing should be conducted in a laboratory environment and requires strict experimental controls to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of test results.
