Ultra Durable
Mercier is constantly striving to increase resistance to abrasion and wear in our finish. The new Mercier Generations formula, with its innovative application technique now contains an even greater concentration of aluminum oxide.
The Taber abrasion test is the industry-recognized method for determining wear resistance. Testing procedures are laid out in the NEMA LD-3 standard. Tester integrity and careful adherence to these procedures are the best guarantees of accurate results. That's why Mercier certify that each comparative test they perform meets the NEMA LD-3 standard.
Product Information
Ultradurable formula: The Taber test consists of subjecting the finish on a piece of wood flooring to a rotating sandpaper disk, and determining the number of rotations required to wear through the finish. The higher the number of rotations, the more resistant the finish.
To ensure reliability, each test is conducted according to a precise methodology. Five factors must be strictly controlled for each test in order to meet the requirements of the NEMA LD-3 standard: the disk type, the pressure applied to disk, the sandpaper type, the sandpaper replacement cycle and the abrasive dust vaccuuming.
