GOST 28780-90 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 28780-90 — "Клеи полимерные. Термины и определения" (English: "Synthetic adhesives. Terms and definitions"). The standard establishes the terminology, definitions and basic classification used for polymer (synthetic) adhesives, including multilingual glossaries (English, German, French) and tables of common terms.

Abstract

GOST 28780-90 defines and harmonizes terms used in the adhesives (polymeric/synthetic adhesives) field to ensure consistent use of vocabulary across technical documentation, testing methods and regulatory references. It provides definitions for types of adhesives, types of bond strength and related general technical terms, with alphabetic language indexes.

General information

• Status: Active / in force (introduced for the first time under the GOST system).
• Publication date: Introduced 01 January 1992 (approved 12 December 1990).
• Publisher: Approved by the State Committee for Standards (Gosstandart USSR); official edition published by the Publishing House of Standards (Izdatelstvo Standartov), 1991.
• ICS / categories: Adhesives and bonding materials (adopted within the relevant classification of polymer and adhesives standards; related ICS/classification entries for adhesives standards).
• Edition / version: Original GOST edition (designated by the year suffix "-90"); introduced into force 1992.
• Number of pages: Approximately 15–17 pages depending on the edition/format (commonly listed as 17 pages in technical catalogues).

Scope

The standard applies to polymeric (synthetic) adhesives and establishes the terms and definitions used in technical standards, specifications and test methods for these products. It is intended for use where consistent terminology is required: standardization documents, laboratory test reports, specifications, and industry technical literature. The standard lists general concepts, types of polymeric adhesives, types of adhesive-joint strength and language indexes of terms.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions for "adhesive", "adherend", "adhesive layer" and related core terms.
• Classification of adhesive types (e.g., dispersion, hot-melt, solvent-based, pressure-sensitive, anaerobic, two-part, thermoplastic, thermosetting, contact adhesives).
• Definitions of bond strength categories and mechanical terms (peel strength, shear strength, cleavage strength, tensile strength of joints).
• Terms related to processing and handling (pot life, open time, setting/cure time and temperature, drying time, solids content, shelf life).
• Multilingual term indexes (Russian with English, German and French equivalents) to support translation and international use.

Typical use and users

Used by standards writers, test laboratories, adhesives and polymer manufacturers, quality engineers, product developers, procurement specialists and technical translators. It is referenced when writing specifications, test methods and product data sheets to ensure consistent terminology and to support interoperability of test results and regulatory documents.

Related standards

GOST 28780-90 is part of a body of adhesives and polymer standards; related documents include national test-method standards for adhesive strength (for example GOST series on peel and cleavage strength), subsequent GOST and GOST R standards on polymer adhesives and international references cited in the text (e.g., ISO 472 and other adhesives test-method standards). It is typically referenced alongside other adhesives standards and nomenclature documents in the 83.* classification of standards.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 28780-90 is the national standard titled "Клеи полимерные. Термины и определения" (Synthetic adhesives. Terms and definitions) that defines standard terminology for polymeric adhesives.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers terms and definitions used for polymeric/synthetic adhesives — their types, properties of adhesive joints (peel, shear, cleavage, tensile), processing terms (pot life, open time, drying/curing) and includes alphabetic term indexes with translations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Standards authors, adhesives manufacturers, test laboratories, quality and product engineers, technical writers and translators use it to ensure consistent vocabulary in specifications, test reports and product documentation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document is the original GOST edition (designation -90) introduced into force on 01 January 1992; it is listed in current GOST catalogues as "in force" / active (check national standards registries for any amendments or later replacements if up-to-date conformity is required).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the family of adhesive- and polymer-related standards (terminology and methods). Related GOST entries cover specific test methods (peel, cleavage, shear), nomenclature of indices and product specifications — the standard is used alongside those method and specification standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Polymer adhesives; synthetic adhesives; terms; definitions; bond strength; peel; shear; cure; pot life; open time; pressure-sensitive; hot-melt; dispersion.
