TABER Sandpaper

TABER Sandpaper typically refers to standardized abrasive sheets used in conjunction with the Taber Abraser instrument, primarily for conditioning the abrasive wheels before performing a test on a specimen. The abrasive wheels, which are the primary wear agents in the Taber Abraser, change their abrasive characteristics with use. To ensure consistent test results, standards often require that the wheels are "refaced" or conditioned using a specific type of abrasive paper mounted on the specimen turntable for a set number of cycles before testing the actual specimen. This standardized sandpaper provides a consistent surface to remove any accumulated debris or glazed areas from the wheels, exposing a fresh, uniform abrasive surface for the test. Different grades or types of sandpaper may be specified depending on the type of abrasive wheel being used.

Sticker

In the context of Taber abrasion testing, "sticker" most commonly refers to a standardized adhesive material used to mount test specimens or conditioning materials onto the rotating turntable platform. Flexible test specimens, such as textiles, paper, films, or laminates, often need to be securely adhered to a rigid surface to prevent movement or wrinkling during the abrasion test. Standardized adhesive sheets or double-sided adhesive discs are used for this purpose, ensuring the specimen remains flat and in proper contact with the abrasive wheels or elements throughout the test. The term can also refer to the adhesive backing on the abrasive sheets used for wheel conditioning. The use of standardized adhesive ensures consistent mounting and does not interfere with the test results.

Zinc Plate

A zinc plate, in the context of testing coatings with instruments like the Taber Abraser, refers to a test substrate made from zinc sheet or plate material. Zinc panels are often specified as a standard base material onto which paints, lacquers, coil coatings, or other surface finishes are applied. These coated zinc plates then serve as the test specimens for evaluating the abrasion resistance of the coating using the Taber Abraser or other abrasion testers. Using a standardized substrate like a zinc plate helps to ensure that test results are comparable across different coatings or laboratories, as the substrate material can influence how a coating performs under abrasive stress. The quality, surface treatment, and dimensions of the zinc plate are typically specified by the relevant test standards.
