We see it on cars, on walls, on appliances and virtually anything that needs some protective coatings or simply for aesthetic purposes. The paints that are meant for the protection of the underlying substrate often have chemicals that prevent the paint from catching on fire or simply that prevent it from losing its color or cracking. Often the paint used for aesthetic purposes comes in various colors, but may not be necessarily meant for the protection of its substrate or for a long lifetime.<\/p><p>Nevertheless, all paint su\ufb00ers some weathering over time. Weathering on paint can often change the properties from what the makers intended it to have. It can chip quicker, peel o\ufb00 with heat, loose color or crack. The di\ufb00erent property changes of paint over time is why makers o\ufb00er such a wide selection. Paints are tailored to meet di\ufb00erent requirements for individual clients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d440447 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d440447\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IMPORTANCE OF NANO SCRATCH TESTING FOR QUALITY CONTROL<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-966ab4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"966ab4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A major concern for paint makers is the ability for their product to withstand cracking. Once paint begins to crack, it fails to protect the substrate that it was applied on; therefore, failing to satisfy their client. For example, if a branch happens to stroke the side of a car and immediately after the paint begins to chip o\ufb00 the makers of the paint would lose business due to their poor quality of paint. The quality of the paint is very important because if the metal under the paint becomes exposed it may begin to rust or corrode due to its new exposure.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Reasons like this apply to several other spectrums such as household and office supplies and electronics, toys, research tools and more. Although the paint may be resistant to cracking when they first apply it to metal coatings, the properties may change over time when some weathering has occurred on the sample. This is why it\u2019s very important to have the paint samples tested at their weathered stage. Although cracking under a high load of stress may be inevitable, the maker must predict how weakening the changes may be over time and how deep the a\ufb00ecting scratch must be in order to provide their consumers with the best possible products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ac4bd1 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ac4bd1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2deb3a7\" data-id=\"2deb3a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-031e9e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"031e9e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">MEASUREMENT OBJECTIVE<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0dd119 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0dd119\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We must simulate the process of scratching in a controlled and monitored manner to observe sample behavior e\ufb00ects.

Tester<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/nanovea.com\/scratch-tester\/\">Nano Scratch Tester<\/a> mode allows the simulation of many real-life failures of paint coatings and hard coats. By applying increasing loads in a controlled and closely monitored manner, the instrument allows to identify at what load failures occur. This can then be used as a way to determine quantitative values for scratch resistance. The coating tested, with no weathering, is known to have a first crack at about 22 mN. With values closer to 5 mN, it is clear that the 7 year lap has degraded the paint.<\/p><p>Compensating for the original profile allows obtaining corrected depth during the scratch and measuring the residual depth after the scratch. This gives extra information on the plastic versus elastic behavior of the coating under increasing load. Both cracking and the information on deformation can be of great use for improving the hard coat. The very small standard deviations also show the reproducibility of the instrument&#8217;s technique which can help manufacturers improve the quality of their hard coat\/paint and study weathering e\ufb00ects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9277cdf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9277cdf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cbff11b\" data-id=\"cbff11b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e348d97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e348d97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Got a similar application?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-997e896 elementor-align-justify open-chat elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"997e896\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">DISCUSS WITH AN EXPERT NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12b64ad elementor-align-justify button-quote elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"12b64ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/nanovea.com\/contact-sales-form\/\" id=\"button-quote-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">GET PRICING &amp; DETAILS FAST<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nano Scratch &amp; Mar Testing of Paint on Metal Substrate Prepared by SUSANA CABELLO INTRODUCTION Paint with or without hard coat is one of the most commonly used coatings.
