GLOSSARY TERM
Mar Resistance
The ability of a paint film to resist scratching and abrasion.
INFO
What it is
Mar resistance is a coating's ability to resist light scratching, scuffing, and surface marking from everyday handling and contact, keeping its appearance intact.
Why it matters
Surfaces that are touched and brushed against regularly will quickly look tired if the finish marks easily. Good mar resistance keeps a coating looking fresh and reduces the need for touch-ups.
Where it is used on a project
Valued on doors, handrails, furniture, fittings, and other frequently handled surfaces in both commercial and residential settings.
How NECC approaches it
We select hard-wearing coatings for surfaces that see daily contact, so the finish resists scuffs and marks and keeps its appearance for longer.
