GOST 28196-89 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 28196-89 — "Краски водно-дисперсионные. Технические условия" / "Water-dispersion paints. Specifications". The standard establishes technical requirements, acceptance rules, test methods, transportation and storage, and basic application instructions for water‑dispersion (aqueous dispersion/emulsion) paints intended for building and construction surfaces and some protective horticultural uses.

Abstract

This standard sets specifications for water‑dispersion paints (pigment and filler suspensions in aqueous dispersions of synthetic polymers with auxiliary additives). It defines product grades, required physical and performance characteristics, safety and acceptance criteria, recommended methods of testing, packaging, handling, storage and labelling, and basic guidance on use for interior and exterior surfaces (porous substrates, primed metal, old coatings; generally excludes floors). The standard replaced several earlier national technical specifications and GOSTs for water‑based paints.

General information

• Status: Active / in use in national databases (listed as действующий / действующий стандарт).
• Publication date: Approved 1989 (GOST number ends with -89); date of formal introduction into application is recorded in official databases (see notes below) — commonly shown as 1 July 1990 or 1 July 1991 in different registries.
• Publisher: Approved and introduced by the State Committee for Standards of the USSR (Gosstandart) — standard maintained in current Russian standards repositories.
• ICS / categories: ICS 87.040 (Paints and varnishes; coatings). OKP/industry classification for lacquers and paints.
• Edition / version: Original GOST 28196-89 (1989 adoption). Amendments and updates recorded in national databases (e.g., Изм. №1 and later text updates).
• Number of pages: Commercial and standards vendors list the published text around 11–20 pages depending on format; many repositories and sellers report about 20 pages for the full printable version.

Scope

Applies to water‑dispersion (aqueous dispersion or emulsion) paint products that are suspensions of pigments and fillers in water dispersions of synthetic polymers with added auxiliaries (emulsifiers, stabilizers, etc.). It covers paints intended for interior and exterior finishing of masonry, concrete, plastered and wooden porous surfaces (except floors), for use over primed metal, for renewing old coatings, and for certain protective horticultural applications (e.g., trunk/branch painting to reduce sunburn and increase winter hardiness). The standard specifies which product types and uses are within its remit and lists excluded applications.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of water‑dispersion paints (composition, basic components and auxiliary additives).
• Technical requirements for physical and functional properties (viscosity, hiding power, pigment content, drying time, adhesion, frost resistance, etc.).
• Safety and sanitary requirements related to production, handling and application (fire safety, ventilation, worker protection where applicable).
• Rules of acceptance and sampling, periodic factory control and consumer testing procedures.
• Methods of testing and referenced normative documents (GOSTs and test standards for specific measurements).
• Requirements for packaging, marking, transportation and storage (temperatures, shelf life considerations).
• Instructions and basic guidance on preparation and application (substrate preparation, dilution, recommended film thickness, drying conditions).

Typical use and users

Primary users include paint and coating manufacturers (product specification and quality control), testing laboratories, procurement specialists in construction and public works, certifying and regulatory bodies, engineering and maintenance teams specifying coatings for buildings and infrastructure, and suppliers preparing product data sheets and declarations of conformity. Secondary users include academic and industrial researchers working on coating formulations and durability testing.

Related standards

GOST 28196-89 replaces several earlier documents (for example, GOST 19214-80 and GOST 20833-75 and a number of industry technical conditions TU that related to water‑based paints). The standard references and is linked with many other GOST test and safety standards cited within (for test methods, corrosion protection, drinking water rules when relevant, etc.). Users should consult the normative references listed in the standard text for exact cross‑references.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 28196-89 is a national (interstate) standard titled "Water‑dispersion paints. Specifications" that defines technical requirements, testing, acceptance and handling rules for aqueous dispersion/emulsion paint products.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers composition and classification of water‑dispersion paints, their required performance parameters (e.g., viscosity, hiding power, adhesion, frost resistance), safety and acceptance rules, methods of testing, packaging, transport and storage, and guidance on application to typical building substrates.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Paint manufacturers, QC and testing laboratories, procurement/specification teams in construction and infrastructure projects, certifying bodies, and maintainers specifying or verifying water‑based coatings.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: National repositories list GOST 28196-89 as действующий (in force) in their catalogs, with recorded amendments and text updates. Some commercial listings show variations in the recorded "date of introduction" (commonly 1 July 1990 or 1 July 1991 across different databases). Users who need the absolute legal status for procurement, certification or regulatory compliance should consult the official national standards registry or an authorized standards body for the current legal status and any later replacements or amendments.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the GOST family for paints and varnishes (industry group for lacquers and paints) and replaces several earlier GOSTs/TU for water‑based paints. It is cross‑referenced with other GOST standards for test methods, safety and related coating technologies.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Water‑dispersion, emulsion paints, dispersion coatings, latex, paint specifications, testing methods, ГОСТ 28196-89.
