Screen Print Longevity Test

Hello Forum, recently I was asked to supply to a report on the longevity of screen print on a chrome substrate. This substrate would be grasped multiple times during a day over a period of 3 years. This report needed to include the approx. number of "hand touches", it would take for the print to deteriorate.

Does a standard test exist for this type of request?

Thank you for your input

Jason

There are tests, and there are special test devices, mostly made by Taber. Have a look here: http://www.abrasiontesting.com/

There's a lot of information, and if you talk to the people at Taber they'll tell you what you need to know. If you're not doing enough testing to justify purchase of a device, it shouldn't be too difficult to find an independent lab that can do it, and Taber can help with that too.
