RCA Paper Tape Abrasion Tester

Introduction

The R.C.A paper tape abrasion tester is suitable for abrasion resistance testing of various surface coatings (electroplating, baking paint, silk screen printing, etc.). The test is conducted by rubbing unlubricated paper tape or adhesive tape against the specimen, and evaluating the wear resistance after a specified number of cycles.

Standards

ASTM F2357-04

Application

Using RCA special paper tape, a fixed load (55g, 175g, 275g) is applied to the product surface.

With a fixed diameter roller and constant speed motor, combined with a specific counter, the abrasion resistance is determined based on the number of cycles the product can withstand. It is widely used for performance testing of mobile phone surface coatings.
