ASTM E2659

ASTM E2659 is a standardized method used in laboratories to evaluate the durability of durable finishes—like paints or coatings—on products such as appliances or electronics. It tests how well these finishes resist scratches and abrasions from everyday contact. The process involves using specialized equipment to simulate wear and tear, helping manufacturers assess and improve the finish's ability to maintain its appearance over time. This ensures products meet quality standards and consumers receive items that look good and stay protected longer.
