Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies the requirements for three grades of emulsion paint that are based on synthetic polymers dispersed in a water phase for application over interior plaster or other masonry substrates, as one or more coats of the same grade. These three grades are suitable for both interior and exterior use. It is accepted that there are other satisfactory end-uses for these paints, either by themselves or in systems in combination with other types of paint, but the scope of this standard does not include their use in such systems or their application over wooden, metallic, glass, plastics, off-shutter concrete or bituminous substrates. In such cases, this standard will only apply to the paint as supplied, not to its end-use.
