Coatings, architectural

It is clear that the coating formulas for all these requirements have to be different as the preservation systems can not be the same for all applications. 

It can be stated that without doubt, the necessity to use antimicrobial compounds is increasing to rationalize production, storage and distribution, to minimize wastes and to keep the functionality and the appeal in service, in order to enlarge renovation intervals and to minimize costs in service of buildings. It was a result of an overall assessment to reduce the VOC-level of paints which would have been impossible without the use of in-can preservatives. 

Today low-emission architectural interior coatings are among the materials with highest environmental and toxicological demands on the apphed preservatives. That is why only very few molecules can be used as active ingredients in paint preservatives. 

This chapter will focus on the most extensive application field, the architectural coatings market other applications like leather coatings, paper coatings, inks, industrial coatings, automotive paints, textile coatings have some special issues but principles written down about architectural paints can be transferred to related applications as well.

Vinyl, alkyd, and styrene—butadiene latexes are used as film formers in most architectural coatings. Because alkyd resins (qv) require organic solvents, their use has decreased substantially for architectural coatings, but is stiU holding up in industrial appHcations, where their greater durability justifies the added expense (see Latex technology). 

Vinyl acetate is another monomer used in latex manufacture for architectural coatings. When copolymerized with butyl acrylate, it provides a good balance of cost and performance. The interior flat latex paint market in North America is almost completely dominated by vinyl acetate—acryHc copolymers. Vinyl acetate copolymers are typicaHy more hydrophilic than aH-acryHc polymers and do not have the same ultraviolet light resistance as acryHcs as a result. 

Alkyd consumption in western Europe has also been on a gradual decline in recent years. Nevertheless, there was stiH about 345,000 t consumed in 1986. About 55% of it went to constmction and architectural coatings.

Naphthenates of cobalt, manganese, calcium, copper, iron, zinc, and zirconium are used as driers in printing inks. Their use in coatings is declining as a result of the use of higher metal content synthetic driers and the overall trend to latex paint in architectural coatings.

Color Pigments. Chrome yellow is the leading inorganic color pigment. It is used primarily in traffic-marking paint for roads and highways The yellow, red, and brown versions of iron oxide also are important and are used in a variety of industrial and architectural coatings.
