Paint and Painting

Two main properties render a material valuable for producing a pigment that it reflects light of a particular color and that it covers and hides underlying surface imperfections, a property known as hiding power. It is also these two properties that make pigments ideal materials for making paints, preparations used to decorate and protect surfaces and obliterate their imperfections (see Textbox 18). Paints have been made and used since very early antiquity (Colombo 1995 Ashok 1993).

Restriction on the use of certain types of solvents, Hsted as HAPs under the Clean Air Act, are forcing paint manufacturers not only to lower the limits on the amount of organic solvents in a paint, but also to eliminate certain types of solvents. Thus paint manufacturers are challenged to comply simultaneously with both VOC and HAP regulations. These Clean Air Act mandates are expected to affect most types of paints and paint manufacturers beginning in 1996. 

Hexanone, also known as methyl n-butyl ketone or MBK, is a clear, colorless liquid with a somewhat sharp odor. The liquid form can easily evaporate into the air as a vapor. It is a waste product of wood pulping, coal gasification, and oil shale operations. 2-Hexanone was formerly used in paint and paint thinner and in various chemical substances. However, since it was found to have harmful health effects, it is no longer made in the United States, and its uses have been restricted. There are no known major natural sources of 2-hexanone in the environment. When 2-hexanone is released to rivers or lakes, it dissolves very easily, and it may evaporate into the air in a few days. We do not know if 2-hexanone binds to soil. When 2-hexanone is released to the water, air, or soil, it is probably broken down into smaller products, possibly within a few days.

Use and exposure Toluene is a clear, colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. It is a natural constituent of crude oil and is produced from petroleum refining and coke-oven operations. It is used in household aerosols, nail polish, paints and paint thinners, lacquers, rust inhibitors, adhesives, and solvent-based cleaning agents. Toluene is also used in printing operations, leather tanning, and chemical processes. Benzene and other PAHs are common...

Oils, such as cooking oil, do not mix with water. An oil is nonpolar, and water is polar. However, paint thinner is soluble with the oil in oil-based paints. Both the paint and paint thinner are nonpolar. Polar compounds tend to dissolve in other polar compounds, and nonpolar compounds tend to dissolve in other nonpolar compounds.

The possible roles of nails (fingers and toes) in exposure to chemicals include direct contact with the cuticle and nail, inhalation from volatilization of a chemical applied to the nails, and oral intake via nail biting and finger sucking. Consumer products of relevance include nail lacquers ( polishes ) and nail lacquer removers applied via various means (applicator, cotton ball, etc.). Also, handwashing, dishwashing, shampoo, hard surface cleaning, etc., products would involve nail contact, as would contact with residential water and soil, and paints and paint removers, and petrol. Nail lacquers can include toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and phthalates, while nail lacquer remover can include ethyl acetate. 

Two associations are concerned with paints. The National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, of Washington, D. C., through its Statistical Division, compiles current data on domestic and Canadian sales, trends in hours and earnings, statistics on fats and oils, price indexes of prepared paints and paint materials, and other information. Such data are published in the weekly journal. Coatings (28), for its membership. The association issued in 1950 a Statistical Handbook (33) on the paint industry to its members. A supplement of this handbook will contain later statistics on production and sales, consumption of raw materials, exports, price data, and other information. 

Evaluation of paints and paint ingredients can be done with conventional viscometers, in which the material is sheared between two mating surfaces. Constant shear rates or known frequencies of oscillation may be used. Raw materials are evaluated and formulation changes are monitored by conventional viscometric methods.

An extremely time-consuming and expensive method of removing unwanted coarse material ( oversize ) from paints and paint pastes, is centrifugation. This technique should only be used if filters and screens prove unsuccessful because it is often accompanied by a high product loss. 

Organic coatings are applied by painting, powder coating. E-coating, plasma polymerization, and sol-gel coating [50]. The first step in painting is the selection of the primer. ASTM standards for chemical analysis of paints and paint materials are summarized in Table 13.2.
