Abstract

The aim of this article is to evaluate the abrasion resistance of camouflage coating systems according to the D4060-10 standard using the Taber Abraser. The method is a standard test for assessing the resistance of coatings to mechanical wear by simulating the abrasion process that occurs during exploitation. The abrasion resistance of camouflage coatings is crucial, especially in the context of military applications. Camouflage coatings are used on military vehicles, equipment and devices to ensure their ability to camouflage in various environments. High abrasion resistance ensures that the camouflage pattern does not wear out quickly, which is important for effective camouflage. The study analyzed three different coating camouflage systems that were subjected to a test to determine their durability and effectiveness under conditions of intensive abrasion. The results obtained allowed for a comparison of the resistance of these systems. The obtained data provide valuable information for further development of camouflage coating systems with increased abrasion resistance, which is of great importance for military and industrial applications.
