What is All Tech Insulation Containment Systems abrasion resistance?
All Tech Insulation has run abrasion resistance testing according to ASTM D 4060 using the most aggressive abrader, the H-18 wheel. The abrasion loss is as noted in our material specification data sheets for the appropriate material. This test was utilized because it most nearly typifies the type of abrasion attack found in industrial environments. The industry standard testing for polyurethanes uses the abrasive CS-17 wheel. This wheel is a much smoother, less abrading mechanism than the above mentioned H-18 abrader wheel. The most severe utilization of polyurethanes is found on parking deck coating systems. The hard polyurethane topcoats used in these systems generally have CS-17 losses between 5 – 10 milligrams. FSS 45DC and FSS 50DM report H-18 loss between 180 and 250 milligrams. This loss is actually much less severe than a loss of 5 10 milligrams on the CS-17 wheel.
