ASTM Performance Tests
The internationally accepted method to determine the quality of paint is to evaluate test scores published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
ScrubTough from Scuffmaster received the highest overall score from the ASTM in terms of scratch resistance, stain resistance and durability. When budget paint gets scuffed or stained, often the only solution is a total repaint. ScrubTough's formula creates a very durable finish that stands up to regular cleaning.

ASTM D2486 Scrub Resistance Test
Scuffmaster uses the ASTM D2486 Scrub test to demonstrate the durability of our finishes. In this test, dried paint samples are repeatedly scrubbed with an abrasive brush until the surface of the paint deteriorates. This determines the number of "scrubs to failure". The higher the number, the more durable the paint.
Scuffmaster finishes wildly outperform the competition with ratings of 4000, 8000 and even in excess of 25,000(!) scrubs compared to an average of 550 for the leading brands.

Paint is a small part of a painting project's overall cost
80% of most commercial project budgets goes toward preparation and application. Paint is actually a small factor in a project's overall cost. Because long lasting, premium paint like ScrubTough can be scrubbed and cleaned, it requires less repainting saving both time and money.

Consider the high cost of repainting
Premium paints hide better, touch-up better and require fewer repaints. Repainting more often due to selecting poor quality paint can quickly double your expenses.
