FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 16 May 1980, after the draft finalized by the Flooring and Plastering
Sectional
Committee
had been approved
by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 Bitumen
mastic of acid-resisting
grade has been considered
very
effective
as covering
of
floors for electroplating
shops, processing
chemical
liquor wash sections, gutters, and in fertilizer,
departments,
rayon, diestuff or water treatment
plants: and other chemical
factories,
where continuous or frequent contact with dilute effluents is expected.
These mastics are being utilized as an underlay to acid-proof
tiles, bricks
or stones used to protect RCC, plain concrete
or ordinary
clay brick
flooring.
This standard
has been prepared
with a view to provide
guidance
for the manufacture
and use of such mastics of acceptable
quality.
