Historical Standard: ASTM D6578-00 Standard Practice for Determination of Graffiti Resistance
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6578
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers a basic method for evaluating graffiti resistance of coatings, and use of this practice to evaluate graffiti resistance of coatings after outdoor or laboratory accelerated exposure. Graffiti resistance is based on how a defined set of markings is removed by a defined set of cleaning agents.
1.2 A procedure for evaluating graffiti removal by alternate cleaning agents is included in a mandatory annex.
1.3 This practice also defines procedures to evaluate graffiti removal after remarking with subsequent re-cleaning. It does not address recoatability after a coating is no longer graffiti resistant.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
