Liquid floor polishes are used to protect the wooden, linoleum, PVC and mosaic floor surfaces. Regular application of such polishes removes the ingrained dirt and grease, give hygenic and shining look and guards the floor surfaces against damage by scratches under normal conditions of use. This standard was first published in 1969. This revision was taken up based on the experience of the industry for over two decades. In this revision, flash point has been reduced to 3O”C, the drying time after spreading modified and a requirement for the polish to be non-injurious to health has been included. 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 accodance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)’ The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1 _,. ., -: _ .r,-,:._._. ‘_., *.: &_ .I_ ,.,; ,_ IS 5481 : 1992 Indian Standard FLOOR POLISH, LIQUID - SPECIFICATION (First Revision) 1 SCOPE 4.4 Consistency The polish shall be of free flowing consistency and 1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements shall maintain its flow characteristics between the and the methods of sampling and test for wax- temperatures 10°C and 50%. solvent and wax-emulsion types of liquid floor polishes. 4.5 Stability 1.1.1 This standard does not cover the liquid 4.5.1 On pouring the contents of a filled con- floor polishes which need no buffing and those tainer into a glass bottle after vigorously shaking which are pigmented. the container for 5 minutes, there shall not be any hard caky material at the bottom of, the 2 REFERENCES container when examined with a clean metal or glass rod.
