Paint

is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that,

after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is
most commonly used to protect, colour, or provide texture. Paint can be
made in many colours—and in many different types. Paint is typically
stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid. Most
paints are either oil-based or water-based and each has distinct
characteristics. For one, it is illegal in most municipalities to discard oil-
based paint down household drains or sewers. Clean-up solvents are also
different for water-based paint than they are for oil-based paint. Water-
based paints and oil-based paints will cure differently based on the
outside ambient temperature of the object being painted (such as a
house.) Usually, the object being painted must be over 10 °C (50 °F),
although some manufacturers of external paints/primers claim they can
be applied when temperatures are as low as 2 °C (35 °F

Paints are materials generally used as finishing for other materials. They
are used to protect objects like woods, metals and plastered surfaces from
weathering, moistures, heats and chemicals. Paint products are essential
in every community because of their effects and function sin the
environment. paints are classified into two major groups based on their
carrier mediums. They are

Solvent based paints Water based paints

Many years ago, virtually all paints are solvent based, but the advances in
paint technology and the clamp down on the release of volatile organic
compounds (VOC) to the atmosphere made solvent based paints less
popular. Mostly, organic solvents are used in this solvent based paints.
They include thinners, denatured alcohol and petroleum products. Solvent
based paints includes gloss, lacquer paints and auto paints. Solvent based
paints drying mechanism is by polymerization. The wet paint reacts with
oxygen in the air to form a long chain hard film. Solvents based paints are
mostly applied on railings, cabinets, metals etc

Water based paints use water as their carrier medium. they are
subdivided into two main categories. they are

acrylic paints

and

Latex paints

. Water based paints are more environmentally and user friendly. They dry
by evaporation, forming a solid thick film on the painted surface. Acrylic
paints are more durable than latex paints, they contract and expand
better. This makes it more durable for exterior paintings. Examples of

water based paints includes, acrylic and latex emulsion, satin, matte
emulsion, textured paints, flexure paints etc.

Paint compositions and their functions in paints

Paints generally have four basic components they are 1. Pigments 2.

Binders 3. Liquids

4. Additives

PIGMENTS :-

Pigments are finely ground particles that disperse in paints to give it

colour, masking properties and coverage. There are two categories of
pigments. They are1.Prime pigments2.Extender pigments Prime pigments
are responsible for giving the paint it's colours, ranging from white to
every other colour. Generally, pigments come as organic and inorganic.
Inorganic pigments are mostly oxides of metals, they appear pale and are
more durable for exterior applications because they don’t fade off easily.
Examples includes Titanium oxide, Antimony oxide, colbaltviole
t,chromium Oxide, iron oxide e.t.c.Titanium Oxide(TiO2) is the main
whitening pigment used in paint
