LR2300 washability tester with reciprocating scrub assemblies, liquid delivery tubes, specimen trays, and digital control panel for coating durability testing.

LR2300 Scrub Abrasion & Washability Tester

Manufactured by Neurtek

This washability and rubbing tester is perfect for industries requiring high-performance surface testing. It’s used to evaluate the resistance of coatings, paints, and varnishes to abrasion, colour loss, scratching, and wear caused by wet or dry rubbing.

The compact design makes it practical for labs with limited space, while the high-precision stepper motor ensures consistent speed control.

Benefits

  • Effectively performs scratch resistance testing, wear resistance testing, abrasion resistance testing, and assesses washability under both wet and dry conditions.
  • Simulates real-world wear caused by repeated cleaning or rubbing,
  • Dual test tracks with integrated dosing pump.
  • User-friendly interface with multilingual menu and large display.
  • Complies with ASTM, DIN, and ISO international standards.

How Does The Washability Tester Work?

The washability test helps determine if a coating passes durability standards. You can:

  • Set a defined number of cycles to check for damage.
  • Test at regular intervals to determine when wear begins.

This helps you confirm whether your paints or coatings are suitable for their intended use.

Suitable Applications

The LR2300 Washability Tester is suitable for testing the properties of painted, plasticised, and polished surfaces, including plastics, wood panels, and kitchen tops. It’s commonly used in the following applications and industries:
