Constituents of a paint

Binder. A resinous or resin-forming constituent of a paint that binds together the pigment particles and holds them on the surface. 

Once the proper constituents of a paint have been selected, these materials are combined together in the proper amounts. The fundamental... 

There are four normal constituents of a paint or coating. These are the following ... 

The formulation of a paint is a matter of the skill and experience of a paint technologist. It is largely determined by the ratios of the constituents in paints and the nature of the substrate to which the paint is to be applied. For example, a paint for use over concrete pavement will have very different properties from one intended for application to timber floors. Two paints may even be based on the same generic type of vehicle, but the formulation will be quite different in their final composition. 

Under certain conditions, dichloromethane (often the major constituent of chemical paint removers) can be converted into phosgene [238,747]. Tobacco smoke, exhaust gases from oil-fired furnaces or petrol engines, and hot metal surfaces are all reported to have a catalytic effect on the reaction [238] ... 

Triorganotins, such as bis(tributyltin) oxide (TBTO) or tributyltin fluoride (TBTF) are important constituents of antifouling paints which, when applied directly to the metal of a ship s bottom or added to paints, prevent fouling build-up. As the organotin leaches directly from paints into water, high contamination of both harbor and coastal areas has resulted where large numbers of pleasure and commercial boats... 

Set n. (1) To convert an adhesive into a fixed or hardened state by chemical or physical action, such as condensation, polymerization, oxidation, vulcanization, gelation, hydration, or evaporation of volatile constituents. (2) Condition of a paint or varnish film when it has dried to a point where, for all practical purposes, it ceases to flow. See cure and dry. 

Isolated from pine resin a primary constituent of turpentine (paint thinner)... 

T. Schauer has used modified flow field flow fractionation to determine the particle size of each individual constituents of a three component mixture of paint hinder, pigment and filler, characterized by relatively broad and overlapping distributions. He was able to follow the changes on mixing them [61]. 

Zinc oxide or zinc white is used in paints, but more preferable, because of its better covering power, is lithopone (a mixture of zinc sulphide and barium sulphate). Both paints have the advantage over white lead that they do not blacken in air (due to hydrogen sulphide). Zinc dust and also zinc chromate are constituents of... 

Trisodium phosphate [7601-54-9] trisodium orthophosphate, Na PO, is an important constituent of hard-surface cleaners including those for ceramic, metal, or painted surfaces. It may be used with soaps, surfactants, or other alkaHes. It precipitates many heavy-metal ions but does not sequester to form soluble chelates. It is thus a precipitant builder and additionally an alkaH. 

A useful property of liquids is their ability to dissolve gases, other liquids and solids. The solutions produced may be end-products, e.g. carbonated drinks, paints, disinfectants or the process itself may serve a useful function, e.g. pickling of metals, removal of pollutant gas from air by absorption (Chapter 17), leaching of a constituent from bulk solid. Clearly a solution s properties can differ significantly from the individual constituents. Solvents are covalent compounds in which molecules are much closer together than in a gas and the intermolecular forces are therefore relatively strong. When the molecules of a covalent solute are physically and chemically similar to those of a liquid solvent the intermolecular forces of each are the same and the solute and solvent will usually mix readily with each other. The quantity of solute in solvent is often expressed as a concentration, e.g. in grams/litre.
