GOST standard on protective organic coatings was adopted
12 November 2021
The national standard GOST R 9.411-2021 “Unified system of corrosion and ageing protection. Protective organic coatings. Classification", which comes into force on April 1, 2022
Metallic and non-metallic surfaces of products, structures and structures during operation are subject to destruction under the influence of external environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, exposure to UV, corrosive agents. One of the most versatile, affordable and effective ways to protect metal and non-metal products and structures from destruction is the use of protective coatings based on organic compounds.
The new standard provides a classification of protective organic coatings depending on the operating conditions in various environments, as well as when exposed to additional factors such as high and low temperatures, electric current, UV radiation, flame and microorganisms.
The standard does not address financial and contractual issues. Failure to comply with the requirements of GOST R 9.411-2021 can cause serious economic risks, since incorrect determination of the operating conditions of coatings reduces the service life of the products, structure and constructions as a whole and can harm the environment, human life and health. The introduction of the new standard will help to improve the reliability of coatings due to the correct choice of their operation conditions, and, as a result, reduce the operational risks of products, structures and constructions.
