TECHNICAL DATA 2022.10.26

Abrasion resistanceof Vinyl Sheets, Tiles & Carpet Tiles

Use below data as a performance index to judge the durability against abrasion by walking with shoes.
The surface of ﬂoorings is abraded by traﬃc of walking and cart with casters. Sands brought by shoes from outdoor may also aﬀect.
Abrasion will cause not only the damage of ﬂooring, but also bad appearance by the dirt stuck on its surface, though it depends on traﬃc andmaintenance.

Ordinary● Guide for Evaluating the Data

● Test Method

Bigger number of effective abrasive revolution indicates stronger abrasion
resistance. Categorized into A, B, C & D based on each test result.

Abrasion resistance test (JIS L 1021-11)

Maximum number of revolution = wear
layer/abraded depth × 1,000rev. Dropsand on the specimen ﬁxed on therevolving plate. Rotate 1,000 rev. withthe abrasion of steel plate, steel brush,and tapping tool as attachments.
Compare the thickness before andafter testing.

The less abraded weight is, the more
durability the pile has.

Put the wheel-shaped weight abrader on the circular specimen of 130mm diameterand rotate the specimen table. Measure the weight decreased by abrasion throughrotational motion.
