Taber 710 scratch resistance tester of the United States uses tungsten carbide as a scratch finger to detect the surface wear damaged by unconventional physical forms (such as scraping, grasping, planing, etc.). For the evaluation of plastic materials, the testing of hard materials for wear resistance, paint, ink, soft metal, oil carpet and other materials.

U.S. TABER Taber 710 scratch resistance tester application objects.

Widely used in the automotive industry to actively test the abrasion resistance of smooth, textured plastic trim in automotive interior and exterior trim parts.

The Taber 710 Scratch Tester is designed based on the technical requirements of automotive industry standards. The test specimen is fixed on a compressed air driven testing platform. The five vertical shaft bar scrapers, with interchangeable weights and optional scraper tips, are applied to the test specimen surface in a constant vertical position. The scrapers are mounted on a rigid stand and can be held in a balanced position by the operator, allowing samples of irregular width to be tested.
