2. IS : 101 ( Part 3/Sec 1 ) - 1986

MATERIALS
Anti-Bacterial paint a applicable to all kind of surface and enhancing protection against
bacteria for hygienic environment of approved brand and manufacture shall be used. Only
ready mixed Anti-Bacterial paint as received from the manufacturer without any admixture
shall be used. If for any reason, thinning is necessary in case of ready mixed Anti-Bacterial
paint, the brand of thinner recommended by the manufacturer or as instructed by the
Engineer-in-Charge shall be used. Approved Anti-Bacterial paints shall be brought to the site
of work by the contractor in their original containers in sealed condition. The material shall
be brought in at a time in adequate quantities to suffice for the whole work or at least a
fortnight’s work. The materials shall be kept in the joint custody of the contractor and the
Engineer-in-Charge. The empties shall not be removed from the site of work, till the relevant
item of work has been completed and permission obtained from the Engineer-in-Charge.

COMMENCING WORK
Anti-Bacterial painting shall not be started until the Engineer-in-Charge has inspected the
items of work to be painted, satisfied himself about their proper quality and given his approval
to commence the Anti-Bacterial painting work. Anti-Bacterial painting, except the priming
coat, shall generally be taken in hand after practically finishing all other building work. The
rooms should be thoroughly swept out and the entire building cleaned up, at least one day in
advance of the Anti-Bacterial paint work being started.

PREPARATION OF SURFACE
The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned and dusted off. All rust, dirt, scales, smoke splashes,
mortar droppings and grease shall be thoroughly removed before Anti-Bacterial painting is
started. The prepared surface shall have received the approval of the Engineer-in-Charge after
inspection, before Anti-Bacterial painting is commenced.

APPLICATION
Before pouring into smaller containers for use, the Anti-Bacterial paint shall be stirred
thoroughly in its containers, when applying also, the Anti-Bacterial paint shall be continuously
stirred in the smaller containers so that its consistency is kept uniform.

The Anti-Bacterial painting shall be laid on evenly and smoothly by means of crossing and
laying off, the latter in the direction of the grains of wood. The crossing and laying off consists
of covering the area over with Anti-Bacterial paint, brushing the surface hard for the first time
over and then brushing alternately in opposite direction, two or three times and then finally
brushing lightly in a direction at right angles to the same. In this process, no brush marks shall
be left after the laying off is finished. The full process of crossing and laying off will constitute
one coat.

Where so stipulated, the Anti-Bacterial painting shall be done by spraying. Spray machine
used may be (a) high pressure (small air aperture) type, or (b) a low pressure (large air gap)
type, depending on the nature and location of work to be carried out. Skilled and experienced
workmen shall be employed for this class of work. Anti-Bacterial paints used shall be brought
to the requisite consistency by adding a suitable thinner.

Spraying should be done only when dry condition prevails. Each coat shall be allowed to dry
out thoroughly and rubbed smooth before the next coat is applied. This should be facilitated
by thorough ventilation. Each coat except the last coat, shall be lightly rubbed down with sand
paper or fine pumice stone and cleaned off dust before the next coat is laid.

No left-over Paint shall be put back into the stock tins. When not in use, the containers shall
be kept properly closed.

No hair marks from the brush or clogging of Paint puddles in the corners of panels, angles of
mouldings etc. shall be left on the work.

In painting doors and windows, the putty round the glass panes must also be painted but care
must be taken to see that no Paint stains etc. are left on the glass. Tops of shutters and
surfaces in similar hidden locations shall not be left out in painting. However, bottom edge of
the shutters where the painting is not practically possible, need not be done nor any
deduction on this account will be done but two coats of primer of approved make shall be
done on the bottom edge before fixing the shutters.

On painting steel work, special care shall be taken while painting over bolts, nuts, rivets
overlaps etc.

The additional specifications for primer and other coats of Paints shall be as according to the
detailed specifications under the respective headings.
Brushes and Containers After work, the brushes shall be completely cleaned of Paint and
linseed oil by rinsing with turpentine. A brush in which Paint has dried up is ruined and shall
on no account be used for painting work. The containers when not in use, shall be kept closed
and free from air so that Paint does not thicken and also shall be kept safe from dust. When
the Paint has been used, the containers shall be washed with turpentine and wiped dry with
soft clean cloth, so that they are clean, and can be used again.

MEASUREMENTS
The length and breadth shall be measured correct to a cm. The area shall be calculated in sqm
(correct to two places of decimal), except otherwise stated.

Small articles not exceeding 10 sq. decimeter (0.1 sqm) of painted surfaces where not in
conjunction with similar painted work shall be enumerated.

Painting up to 10 cm in width or in girth and not in conjunction with similar painted work shall
be given in running meters and shall include cutting to line where so required.
