1、Designation:D373017Standard Guide forTesting High-Performance Interior Architectural WallCoatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3730;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A n
2、umber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers the selection and use of test methodsfor high-performance interior architectural wall coatings(HIPAC)that differ from more
3、 conventional coatings by beingtougher,more stain-resistant,more abrasion-resistant and,ordinarily,designed to be applied to wall surfaces of steel,masonry(poured concrete,concrete block,or cinder block),and plaster or gypsum wallboard.The tests that are listed inTable 1 and Table 2 are designed to
4、measure performanceproperties.These tests may not all be required for each HIPACsystem.Selection of the test methods to be followed must begoverned by experience and the requirements in each indi-vidual case,together with agreement between the purchaserand the seller.1.2 High-performance architectur
5、al coatings are tough,extra-durable organic coating systems that are applied as acontinuous(seamless)film and cure to a hard finish.The finishcan be high gloss,semigloss,or low gloss as desired.Thesecoatings are resistant to persistent heat,humidity,abrasion,staining,chemicals,and fungus growth.They
6、 are used in areaswhere humidity,wear,or unusual chemical resistancerequirements,particularly to soiling,are required and wherestrong detergents are used to maintain sanitary conditions.Halls and stairways in public buildings,lavatories,stallshowers,locker areas,animal pens,and biological laboratori
7、esare typical applications.In addition,food processing plants,dairies,restaurants,schools,and transport terminals frequentlyuse HIPAC systems.These are effective in many areas ofbuilding interiors compared with tile and are of low materialsand maintenance costs.They are used as a complete systemonly
8、 as recommended by the manufacturer since the individualcoats in a system are formulated to be compatible with eachother.HIPAC systems should be applied only to properlyprepared surfaces such as steel or masonry,including cinderblocks and cement blocks.They can be applied over plaster andgypsum wall
9、board.Ordinarily,a prime or fill coat,if required,is part of the system.1.3 While they are excellent for walls,HIPAC are notusually intended for ceilings and floors.They would notordinarily be used in homes,although parents with smallchildren might want to use HIPAC coatings on some walls.1.4 The ty
10、pes of resin ordinarily used are the following:epoxy-polyamide,two-package;polyester-epoxy,two-package;polyurethane,one-packageortwo-package.However,other resin types are not excluded provided they canmeet the requirements(performance specifications)laid downby the purchaser.1.5 The values stated in
