( Second Revision )
0. 0.1 FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 30 September 1983, after the draft finalized by the Paints and Allied Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

0.2 This standard was first published in 1950 based largely on the interim co-ordinated draft produced with the assistance of representatives of manufacturers and various departments and authorities of Government of India, by the Co-ordinating Subcommittee of No. 5 Standing Committee on Specifications for Paints and Allied Stores of the Ger.eral Headquartes, India ( now Army Headquarters ). It was subsequently revised in 1968 incorporating characteristics suc.h as flattening properties, hold out property, flexibility and adhesion. This standard which was originally composition based was thus made performance oriented. 0.3 In the present revision the requirement for drying time has been elaborated giving separate limits for surface and hard drying time. The requirement for hard drying time has been reduced from 12 to 8 hours and the surface drying time has been stipulated to be not more than 20 Additional characteristics of viscosity by flow cup method, minutes. opacity and dry film thickness have been included. Besides, requirement for the mass in kg/l0 litres of the material has been made independent of the the approved sample. 0.4 This standard contains clause 4.1 between the purchaser and the supplier. which calls for an agreement

0.5 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 with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained
*Rules for rounding off numerical valuer ( reuisrd ).

IS : 110 - 1983 in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements,, and the methods of sampling and test for ready mined paint, brushing, grey filler, for enamels, for use over primers. The material is_ used as a filler over the primer in the painting system normally followed by enamels.

2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For

the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : lOl13648 and IS : 1303- 1963t shall apply.

3. REQUIREMENTS 31 .Co*osition - The material shall satisfy tbe requirements of this standard. flattening properties, use of slate powder suitable extenders and pigments, as may be of such a composition as to In order to obtain satisfactory ( see.IS : 61-1950$ ) along with be necessary, is recommended.

4.2.1 The containers may also be marked with the IS1 Certification

Eto~g- The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by the producer. IS1 marked products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of the ISI Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution. 4.3 Other details of packing and marking shall be in accordance the instructions given by the purchaser. 5.

APPENDIX B ( Clauses 3.3 and 6.1 )

DETERMINATION B-O. GENERAL B-0.1 Outline of the Method - The grey filler is applied over suitable primer on one half of a metal panel. This, after wet rubbing and allowing to dry, is overcoated with a film of synthetic enamel. The gloss of the enamel film on the filler coated portion is compared with the gloss on the other half. B-l. PROCEDURE OF HOLD-OUT PROPERTY

B-l.1 A metal panel, 0063 0 to 0.800 mm thick and 300 x 150 mm in size, is cleaned, degreased and derusted as prescribed in 5.2 of IS : lOl-1964*. B-l.2 Apply one coat of primer conforming to IS : 2074-1979t and allow to dry overnight. Then apply the material uniformly to one half of the panel. Allow this to dry for 16 h. Apply one more coat of the material as above and allow to dry for another 16 h. The dry film ,.thickness of the two coats of the material shall be between 40 to 50 micrometers. Wet rub the film with emery paper No. 280 and wipe off. Allow this with synthetic enamel this to dry for one hour. Overcoat ( conforming to IS : 2932-1974: ) on the entire panel ( coated with filler as well as uncoated ). B-1.3 Report - Examine the gloss of the enamel film on the filler .coated portion visually with that of the other half. The gloss on the filler coated portion shall not be inferior to the other half when thus , -examined. *Methods of test for ready mixed paints and enamels ( second reuision ). $Specification for ready mixed paint; drying, red oxide-zinc chrome, priming ( first r&ion ) . $Specification for enamel, synthetic, exterior, (a) undercoating, (b) finishing (first revision ). 7
