Practical Notes

This specification is strictly for interior use; the paint formulation lacks the UV resistance and weathering properties required for exterior applications.

Testing for parameters like consistency, gloss, and drying time must be conducted strictly in accordance with the relevant parts of IS 101.

Ensure proper storage away from open flames, as the specified flash point indicates flammability.
