FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Paints,Varnishes and Related Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

The use of the plastic emulsion paints has been on the increase over the last few years. These paints have gainedpopularity because of their ease of application, quick drying properties, non-objectionable odour and goodwashability. In view of the growing demand for this material, this standard was formulated to enablemanufacturers to maintain the quality and assist the consumers in selecting material of an acceptableperformance.

This standard was earlier published in two parts as IS 5411 (Part 1) :1974 ‘Plastic emulsion paint: Part 1 Forinterior use’ and IS5411 (Part 2): 1972 ‘Plastic emulsion paint: Part 2 For exterior use’. However, while revisingthis standard, the Committee felt that it would be more convenient for users to have a single standard,incorporating two types of plastic emulsion paints. This standard supersedes IS 5411 (Part 1) :1974 and IS 5411(Part 2): 1972.

This standard also takes care to incorporate different types of finishes to bring it at par with present day practices.Accordingly, requirement of drying time, for both surface and hard dry, has been changed with regard to thetype of finishes. Other optional requirements like spreading capacity, hiding power and spreading time havebeen deleted; while gloss value, at 60° for various classes has been included.

This standard also includes a scheme for labelling environment friendly product known as ECO-Markintroduced at the instance of Ministry of Environment and Forests (MEF). The ECO-Mark shall be administeredby the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the BIS Act, 1986 as per the Resolution No. 71 dated 20thFebruary, 1991 published in Gazette of Government of India. For a product to be eligible for ECO-Mark it shallcarry standard mark of BIS for quality besides meeting additional optional environment friendly (EF)requirements.

The Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex J,

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance withIS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained inthe rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

C-O GENERAL

C-O.1 Outline of the Method

An asbestos cement panel is evenly coated with threecoats of the material by the appropriate method andair-dried for a specified period and exposed to outdoorweathering for period of not less than 12 months at 45°angle facing south.

C-1 MATERIAL

C-1.l Asbestos Cement Panels — of 300 mm x100 mm size (see IS 2096).

C-2 PROCEDURE

C-2.1 Select approximately 300 mm x 100 mmasbestos cement panels with pH not more than 10(preferably between 8 to 10) and brush one coat of thepaint suitably thinned (see 6.4). Air-dry for 8 h andapply a second coat of the paint and again air-dry forover night and apply a third coat of the material.Air-dry for 8 h and then expose the panels at 45° to thehorizon. The test should be done in duplicate tosafeguard against any inadvertent accidents. Theexposure to commence between third week of Januaryand first week of April. These tests shall be carried outat National Test House, Kolkata.

C-2.2 Examine the conditions of the exposed films atan interval of 6 months for the followingcharacteristics:

a) Colour,b) Flaking,c) Cracking, andd) Chalking.

C-2.3 For the above examination, wash theright-hand half of the surface of test panels by pouringwater and then wiping with soft cloth. Examine thesame half of the test panels at each examination. At theend of the stipulated period for durability test, examinethe two halves of the test panels for the abovecharacteristics. The sample shall be consideredsatisfactory if the condition of the film in both thehalves, the one washed periodically as well as the onewashed only for the final examination, is satisfactoryby the method of evaluation described in C-2.4. Strayfilm failure due to extraneous causes other thanclimatic shall be ignored.

C-2.4 Method of Rating

The film of the unexposed panel shall be rated with thefollowing basic values for the respectivecharacteristics:

a)

b)

c)

d)

C-2.5

Possessing correct colour : 25

Freedom from flaking (loss of : 25adhesion and hence lifting)

Freedom from cracking : 25

Freedom from chalking : 25100

NOTE — The initial rating of the film maybe 100or lessaccording to the conditionofcolour,the ratingfor freedomfrom flaking, cracking and chalking being always themaximum in the case of unexposed films.

Evaluation of Exposed Films

In recording the condition of exposed films at eachexamination, express the observed relative values ofdifferent characteristics in percentages of the basicvalue allotted to each characteristic under C-2.4. Theallotment of performance value should be multiples of10. For arriving at an assessment multiply the basicvalue for each characteristic (see C-2.6) by thepercentage awarded for the performance in the test anddivide the product so obtained by 100 to obtain thepercentage award of the observed value of each
