Abstract. The present paper describes the assessment of colour parameters of industrial produced paints for horizontal signalization (designed as POM S1 and POM S2 / ZEB 1 and ZEB 2) of white colour hue, coming from two different producers ("Pomoravlje" and "Zorka") with reference to an independent sample (IND 0) and some physical features of each sample. Colorimetric characterization of samples was performed by the reflectance spectrophotometer "Update Colour Eye 3000". Standard and modified test methods (ASTM) were performed to establish physical features of the paints. The industrial produced paints show better values of the investigated parameters and features and satisfy standards prescribed by law. POM S2 sample with dry film thickness, similar to the same of other samples, provides the best physical features maximizing quality and minimizing protection cost.
Key words:  colour parameters, marking paints, physical features, reflectance spectrophotometric method, whiteness index.

PARAMETRI BOJE, INDEKSI BELINE I FIZIČKA SVOJSTVA ORGANSKIH 
PREMAZA ZA HORIZONTALNU SIGNALIZACIJU
Ovaj rad opisuje određivanje parametara boje industrijski proizvedenih organskih premaza za horizontalnu signalizaciju (označenih kao POM S1 i POM S2 / ZEB 1 i ZEB 2), belog tona boje, dva različita proizvođača ("Pomoravlje" i "Zorka") u odnosu na nezavisni uzorak (IND 0) i neka fizička svojstva svakog pojedinačnog uzorka. Kolorimetrijska karakterizacija uzoraka je izvršena refleksionim spektrofotometrom tipa "Update Colour Eye 3000". Standardne i modifikovane test metode su korišćene radi utvrđivanja fizičkih svojstava organskih premaza. Industrijski proizvedeni premazi pokazuju bolje vrednosti ispitivanih parametara i svojstava i zadovoljavaju standarde propisane zakonom. POM S2 uzorak sa debljinom suvog filma, sličnom istoj ostalih uzoraka, obezbeđuje najbolja fizička svojstva povećavajući kvalitet do maksimuma i snižavajući cenu zaštite do minimuma.
