( Second Revisidn)
0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 27 July 1979, 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 and subsequently revised in 1962. In this revision requirements for chromic aobydride and zinc oxide content in zinc chromate have been included. Method of test for zinc chromate has also been included. The optional requirements for spreading capacity and spreading time have been dropped and a regular requirement for wet opacity been included. Amendment No. 1 issued in November 1969 to this standard has been incorporated. 0.3 This standard contains clause 4.1 which the purchaser and the supplier. calls for agreement bet.ween

0.4 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 in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

3.1.1 The pigment when tested as prescribed in Appendix A shall contain not less than 40 percent by mass of zinc chrome conforming to Type 2 of IS : 51-1979: which shall correspond to a minimum of 17.2 percent by mass of chromic anhydride and 14.6 to 16.0 percent by mass of zinc oxide. The balance of the pigment composition shall consist of such other rust inhibitors ( other than lead pigments ) or extenders, as may be considered necessary. 3.1.2 Gypsum and calcium sulphate shall not be used.

342 Resistance to Salt Spray When tested as prescribed in Appendix B panel prepared from the material shall Fhow no signs of, corrosion after continuous exposure for 4 days in salt-spray cabinet. 3.3 Mass in kg/l0 Litre - The minimum mass in kg/l0 litres of the material when tested in accordance with 25 of IS : lOl-19647 shall be 140; It shall be, however, within f 3 percent by mass of the sample approved against this specification., if any. 3.4 The material Table 1. 4.

The IS1 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. ISI 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 IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.

A-2.1 Weigh accurately about 05 g of the extracted pigment in a 500-ml conical flask. Add 70 m 1 o f water and 30 ml of dilute sulphuric acid. Boil slowly for 2 to 3 minutes and cool.

Transfer the solution to a 500-ml iodine flask ,containing 100 ml water atid 20 ml dilute sulphuric acid. Add 30 ml of potassium iodide solution and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Titrate the liberated iodine with standard sodium thiosulphate solution after adding 5 ml of starch solution as indicator. Note the volume of sodium thiosulphate solution used in the titration ( VI ). A-2.3 After the titration for chromic anhydride, add ammonia solution dropwise until the litmus test paper first turns blue. ( An excess of 7

A-2.2

Ibcler-1979
ammonia solution, more than 3 to 4 drops, should not be added as it is essential that the blue litmus should turn red with ammonium bifluoride to be ad&d sub$equenZly ). Cool and add 2 to 3 g of ammonium bifluoride and sufficient water to make v&tie appioximately 250 ml. ( Sometime traces of iodine liberated during neutralization can be cleared up by one or two drops of sodium thiosulphate solution ). Add Stir and allow to stand for VI/~ ml of potassium ferricyanide solution. Titrate the liberated iodine with standard sodium about 2 minutes. After the end point the colour of the test solution thiosulphate solution. will be bright pale-greenish yellow. Note the volume of sodium thiosulphate solution used in the second titration ( V2 ). In case Vz is less than 6 ml, the titration is to be repeated with the addition of ( V2+2 ) ml of potassium ferricyanide solution in place of VI/3 ml. &2.4 If Vs is less than 3 ml, the titration is to be repeated, starting from extracted pigment, with the addition of 5 ml of potassium ferricyanide solution.
