Our test laboratory performs a range of different investigations using mechanical soiling procedures to evaluate soilability and cleanability. The tests are used to assess the service properties of materials with regard to typical contamination and reproducible cleaning stresses under practical application conditions. These procedures are used particularly in automotive interiors, the furniture industry, and for functional surfaces with increased requirements for care, durability, and long-term performance.
As part of the tests, defined soiling agents are mechanically applied or worked into the material surfaces using standardized mechanical movement sequences. Depending on the respective test method and specification, defined cleaning cycles are then carried out using specified cleaning agents, loads, and movement parameters. The evaluations include, among other things, soiling behavior, cleanability, remaining residues, changes in color, gloss, and surface structure, as well as possible material- or coating-related changes caused by the stress exposure. The procedures enable a highly reproducible and comparable assessment of surface and maintenance properties.
The test specifications originate predominantly from the automotive industry (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, VW, Ford, Volvo, GM, Jaguar / Land Rover, and Tesla), where they are used for the evaluation of vehicle interior materials.
