Abstract: As rubber comes in contact with various surfaces, wear characteristics are critical to predicting ultimate performance of the end product. Abrasion testing can be used to predict overall durability of the material as it may perform in applications. The Rotator Drum Abrasion (Din Abrasion) method measures the volume loss due to the abrasive action of rubbing a test piece over a specified grade of abrasive sheet. The result can be reported as a relative volume loss or an abrasion resistance index.
