CEN/TC 317/WG 3 - Coal tar and pitch based binders and related products

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for "carbon binder pitch" used as industrial purposes.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades of carbon binder pitch are available.
NOTE   Carbon binder pitch can also be used as a binder for refractory products.

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for "coating tar" used for coating.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades of coating tars are available.

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for "road tars" and their warning to use for the industrial purposes.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades of road tars are available.

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for viscous  "refractory binders" used as industrial binders.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades on refractory binders are available.
Note that carbon binder pitch as described under prEN 14263 can be used for refractory products as well.

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for "impregnating pitch" used for industrial purposes.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades of impregnating pitch are available.

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for "painting tar" used as industrial and domestic varnish.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades of painting tars are available.

This European Standard gives the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for "briquetting pitch" used as industrial purposes.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades of briquetting pitches are available.

This EN defines the principal terms concerning coal tar and pitch based binders and related products, coal tar and pitch based products for paints and coating.
