Sample Identification:
The samples were identified as five sets of two specimens. The six test samples were identified as: Steel, Nye-Kote™, Nye-Tef™, Nye-Carb™, Kanigen®, Hard Chrome plated.
Test Method:
The samples were allowed to condition at standard laboratory conditions of 72 +/- 4 F and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity for at least 40 hours prior to testing. Testing was done according to ASTM 4060
| Test Method | Test Method Title | Deviations from Method |
| ASTM D4060 | Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings by the Taber Abraser | Samples were applied to the tile. Testing done using H22 wheels, 1000 gram weight, 1000 cycles |
