TS 789 Paints-Cellulosic Standard Test Method

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of TS 789 testing. TS 789 is a Turkish Standard that defines the requirements for cellulose-based glossy paints. These types of paints are commonly used in industrial and domestic environments to provide a decorative and protective coating to surfaces such as metal, wood or concrete.

The standard specifies the properties that cellulose-based glossy paints must have in order to be deemed compliant with TSE 789.

Some of these requirements are:

Appearance: The paint should have a smooth, uniform sheen without any visible defects such as bubbles, bubbles or cracks.

Drying time: The paint should dry within a certain amount of time, which can vary depending on the application method and conditions.

Resistance to water and chemicals: The paint must be resistant to water, alkalis, acids and other chemicals to which it may be exposed for its intended use.

Adhesion: The paint should adhere strongly to the surface on which it is applied, without flaking or peeling.

VOC content: The paint must meet the maximum allowable volatile organic compound (VOC) content limit specified in Turkish regulations.

TS 789 also provides guidelines for testing and evaluating cellulose-based gloss paints to ensure they meet the requirements of the standard. The tests cover properties such as viscosity, density, drying time, adhesion, gloss and chemical resistance.

TS 789 covers the labeling and packaging of cellulose-based glossy paints as well as technical requirements. The label should contain the product name, manufacturer's name and address, net weight, batch number and instructions for use. The packaging must match the paint type and be marked with the standard's logo to indicate conformity.

In general, TS 789 plays an important role in ensuring the quality and safety of cellulose-based glossy paints produced and sold in Turkey. Setting clear requirements and guidelines for testing and evaluation, the standard helps protect consumers and the environment from potential harm caused by substandard or hazardous products.
