Multi-Function Scratch Tester

The Multi-Function Scratch Tester integrates three commonly used automotive industry testing methods—Five-Finger Scratch, Cross-Cut (100-grid) Scratch, and Plastic Finger Scratch—into a single instrument. It is designed to evaluate the scratch resistance of various automotive interior materials, including plastics, rubber, leather, textiles, coated and uncoated materials, as well as paints, inks, and soft metals. The instrument delivers highly repeatable test data, aiding manufacturers in production control and performance verification.

Test Procedures

Install the sample on the fixture and secure it properly.

Select the test method (Five-Finger or Cross-Cut) via the touchscreen interface.

Set the desired speed, stroke, and number of scratches.

Start the test; the instrument will perform automatic scratch cycles.

After completion, inspect the sample for scratch depth, number, and coating detachment.

Record results and compare with reference standards.
