Sherwin-Williams Offers Innovative Solutions for Ultimate Durability

摘要

Clean-looking, durable paint finishes that do not require frequent repainting are a goal of specifiers, but not all interior finishes claiming to be "professional best" are created equal. When selecting a coating for its durability, volume solids are not the best measurement. Instead, it's important to evaluate performance in both scrub- and burnish-resistance testing. Burnishing and marring can occur when the paint film is subjected to rubbing, scrubbing or having an object brush against it, which causes an undesirable gloss or sheen in the marked area. How well a coating resists burnishing is critical because walls that remain free of unsightly marks look better longer.
