Scratch resistance is essential for any surface material, particularly in high-traffic areas such as corridors, kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces. CeramicSteel offers outstanding scratch resistance, ensuring its surface stays smooth, intact, and visually appealing, even after years of use.
Test Overview
CeramicSteel was tested using a diamond indenter (Mohs scale rating of 10) with a gradually increasing insertion force to measure scratch resistance. This test, conducted by ISO 15695, simulates real-world wear and tear that the material may experience over time. The assessment determines whether the surface shows visible scratches after being subjected to the increasing force.
Test Results
A durable surface must show a minimum resistance of 7 N, ensuring no visible scratches appeared even under rigorous testing. CeramicSteel performance surpasses industry standards wiht a score of 10 N for scratch resistance and emphasizes the material’s ability to endure everyday impacts and abrasions.
