Protective Coatings
Paint is a pigmented liquid material, consisting of four basic ingredients:
- Binder (resin)
- Pigment (colour)
- Thinner
- Drier Thinner
The functions of these ingredients are as follows:
The Function of a Binder is to:
• Change the paint from a liquid coating to a dry film
• Provide gloss
• Cause the coating to adhere to the surface
• Give elasticity to the film
• Provide resistance to the weather, chemicals and abrasion
• Bind the pigment particles together
• Hold the pigment in suspension
The Function of a Pigment is to:
• Provide colour
• Help the binder to protect the surface
• Provide opacity or hiding power to the paint
• Control the gloss level of the paint
The Function of a Solvent/Thinner is to:
• Make the paint liquid enough to be easily and evenly applied
• Help wet the surface
• Help control the drying time
• Evaporate and begin the drying process
• Assist the binder to flow out evenly.
The Function-of a Drier is:
• -Assist the drying process.
Liquid driers are added to oil-based paints to absorb oxygen into the coating.
Paint is applied to a substrate, at a predetermined wet thickness, which dries to form a solid film.
