Term: abrasion resistance

Abrasion resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand wear and surface damage caused by friction or repeated rubbing. In the context of painting and coatings, abrasion resistance indicates how well a painted surface can endure physical contact, such as scrubbing, cleaning, or foot traffic, without deteriorating, scratching, or losing its finish.

High abrasion resistance is especially important for coatings used in high-traffic areas, industrial environments, or exterior surfaces exposed to harsh conditions. It ensures the longevity and durability of the paint job, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or repainting.
