Причина отмены This practice covers a procedure for determining the abrasion resistance of printed and unprinted inkjet media using the Sutherland Rub Tester, or its equivalent, equipped with full-width rubber pads and using standardized receptors.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F05 on Business Imaging Products, this practice was withdrawn in January 2020 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

Abrasion resistance is a desirable and sometimes critical property of printed materials. Abrasion damage can occur during shipment, storage, handling, and end use. The result is a significant decrease in product appearance and legibility of product information. The amount of abrasion damage to a printed substrate is dependent on shipping conditions, possibly temperature and humidity, time, and many other variables. This practice provides a way of comparing abrasion resistance of printed materials under laboratory conditions.

This practice also can be used to evaluate the relative abrasion and scuff resistance of printed and unprinted inkjet media.

This practice can provide a reasonably simple procedure that can be used by both the buyer and the seller of printed materials to determine if the product offered for sale meets some predetermined standard for abrasion or scuff resistance.
