- Abstract
- The suitability of various test methods for measuring performance of plastic wallcovering materials was studied. This report contains the results of performance tests including abrasion resistance, surface texture, fungus resistance, washability and stain resistance. Based on the test results, tentative recommendations for the revision of Federal Specification CCC-W-408A, Wall Covering, Vinyl-Coated, have been developed. These recommendations are based upon the results of tests conducted on seventy-two wallcovering materials from seven manufacturers.
