Harlow Chemicals uses Sheen Instruments' Scrub Tester
Harlow Chemical Company Limited, a supplier of waterbased polymer emulsions for the paint, ink, textile and adhesives industries, has used a Sheen Instruments Wet Abrasion Scrub Tester to help with the development of Revacryl 246, a new styrene acrylic copolymer emulsion for high PVC interior paint formulations (Plate 17).
Crucial to the performance of the polymer in the Revacryl 246 formulation is its ability to withstand abrasion in use.
