GOST 6465-76 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 6465-76 — "Enamels PF-115. Specifications". This Soviet / Russian national standard defines technical requirements, test methods and acceptance criteria for PF-115 alkyd-based enamels used for protective and decorative coating of metal, wood and other substrates (interior and exterior applications).

Abstract

GOST 6465-76 specifies composition limits, physical and performance characteristics (viscosity, solids content, gloss, drying time, adhesion, hardness, frost/heat resistance and atmospheric durability), sampling and test procedures, marking, packing and storage rules for PF-115 enamels. The standard was in force from the late 1970s and has been superseded by a modern revision in 2023.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / replaced (superseded by GOST 6465-2023).
• Publication date: 01 July 1977 (designation GOST 6465-76; approved in 1976, introduced 01.07.1977).
• Publisher: Gosstandart / National standards body of the USSR (now national standards publishers for Russian standards).
• ICS / categories: 87.040 — Paints and varnishes (paints and varnishing industry).
• Edition / version: GOST 6465-76 (original 1976 designation; later amendments applied during its lifetime; ultimately replaced by GOST 6465-2023).
• Number of pages: Vendor/catalog listings vary (commonly listed as 14 pages in some document services; some catalog entries list 23 pages depending on included amendments).

Scope

The standard covers PF-115 enamels of various colours intended for painting metallic, wooden and other non-metallic surfaces exposed to atmospheric conditions and for interior painting, excluding industrial floor coatings. It defines technical and safety requirements, sampling, methods of testing and criteria for acceptance. The modern replacement (GOST 6465-2023) carries the same product focus with updated test methods and normative references.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and designation of PF-115 enamel grades and colour ranges.
• Permissible composition parameters: binder type (alkyd), pigments, solvents, dryers and non-volatile content ranges.
• Physical and performance requirements: viscosity, density, solids content, drying time, gloss level, adhesion, film hardness and flexibility.
• Durability criteria for atmospheric exposure, temperature resistance and resistance to household chemicals.
• Sampling procedures, laboratory test methods and acceptance criteria for production control and incoming inspection (references to related GOST test methods).
• Marking, packaging, storage conditions and shelf-life/transport precautions for packaged enamel.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and formulators of paint and varnish products, quality control laboratories, procurement specialists and technical inspectors in construction and manufacturing, coatings specification authors, maintenance and repair contractors, and regulatory bodies dealing with product conformity and safety use this standard or its replacement when specifying PF-115 enamel performance and acceptance.

Related standards

Typical normative references and related standards include earlier and related GOSTs for paint testing and safety (examples historically referenced by GOST 6465-76 and by its replacement): GOST 15140-78 (adhesion test methods), GOST 8784-75 (hiding power), GOST 8832-76 (preparation of test specimens), as well as later consolidated/replacement standards collected in GOST 6465-2023. The original text also cross-referenced many industry GOSTs on corrosion protection, safety and test procedures.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 6465-76 is the national specification that defined technical conditions for PF-115 alkyd-based enamels (designation shows it was prepared in 1976 and introduced 01 July 1977). It set composition, performance and test requirements for that enamel type.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product definition, allowable composition parameters, physical and performance requirements (viscosity, solids, gloss, drying and hardness, adhesion), test methods, sampling, marking, packing and storage rules for PF-115 enamels used on metal, wood and other surfaces (except floors).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Paint manufacturers, QC and test laboratories, procurement and specification engineers, contractors and regulatory authorities involved in coatings selection, acceptance and conformity checks.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: It has been superseded — GOST 6465-76 is withdrawn/replaced and its modern replacement is GOST 6465-2023, which updates and consolidates technical requirements and references. Users should refer to the 2023 version for current mandatory requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the family of national standards for paints and varnishes (ICS 87.040). There are earlier and related GOSTs for enamel types, test methods and varnish materials; GOST 6465-76 itself replaced earlier editions (for example GOST 6465-63) and was later replaced by the 2023 edition.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: PF-115, enamel, alkyd enamel, paint specification, GOST 6465-76, paints and varnishes, coating performance, adhesion, drying time.
