Paint ingredients

Paint Formulations. Tables 1 and 2 provide examples of generic water-based latex and solvent-based alkyd oil paints. These formulations exhibit typical proportions of the paint ingredients discussed.

Use Ingredient in water repellents for paper and textiles, catalyst, stabilizer in latex emulsion paints, ingredient in floor wax to aid in resistance to detergents, lubricant in fabrication of glass fibers. 

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. 

Using your spoon, put a little bit of mud in another cup. Add one of your Nature s Paint colors, such as the colored water from the cranberries. Start with V4 cup of your Nature s Paint ingredients. Slowly add more if you want the color brighter. Stir the mixture until all of the Nature s Paint ingredients are blended. Mix well. If necessary, add a little more water so that your paint is smooth.

From a simplistic point of view, the formulator s job is easiest with the minimum number of paint ingredients. A response surface can be easily constmcted for a four component system by use of an equal dimensioned tetrahedron. 

Polyvinyl acetate or vinyl acrylic based paints tend to show more stability sensitivity with this new type of technology. Because of potential hydrolysis of vinyl acetate, the pH could drop below 7.5 and the rheology modifiers would lose their thickening efficiency. Around pH 7 there is a gelation/levering effect probably due to competition for available base between the associative thickener and the other paint ingredients. 

This subdivision is by no means exhaustive. Individual products cannot always be assigned to one of these groups because one additive may simultaneously influence a combination of paint properties. Additionally it is sometimes difficult to draw the line between additives and other paint ingredients (e.g., resins, pigments, extenders, and solvents) when these materials are used in an additive-like manner. 

Chemical reaction between paint ingredients low or very low medium to high, 30-100% cross- linked fair-poor fairly fast varies 10-15° C common two-pack or short shelf-life, unless stoving or radiation curing type Industrial stoving finishes acid-catalysed, polyurethane and polyester wood finishes. 

It is easy to forget that solvents are chemicals and can react with other paint ingredients. For stability in the can, this is undesirable. Examples of the influence of chemical reactivity on solvent selection are given in Chapters 14 and 15. 

These publications cover the main paint ingredients and some special features referred to in Part Two of this book. The expensive reference books (marked ) can be consulted through technical libraries.

The site and location of dermatitis can be variable. Irritant dermatitis is usually located on the dorsal sides of the hands and arms, and in the beginning often appears as mild dryness and chapping of the skin, later progressing to various degrees of inflammation. Wounds and abrasions in the skin may promote the development of both irritant and allergic dermatitis. A period of irritant dermatitis often precedes sensitization to paint ingredients. The appearance of an allergic contact dermatitis can be more variable and may occur on the skin contact areas of accidental splashes (Mathias 1984). 

Associative thickeners increase the viscosity of the paint by interacting with other paint ingredients through bridging of particles (surface to surface) or interaction of adsorbed layers. The interactions are assumed to be through hydrophobic forces. The operative mechanism is illustrated in Figure 5.9. Important groups in this class are associative acrylic thickeners, associative cellulose ethers and hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethanes (HEUR). 

This section surveys paint technology from the user s point of view. Emphasis is on the fundamentals of paint technology and the practical use of paint. Paint ingredients are discussed so that the reader understands why paint behaves as it does and why it must be used in certain ways. The failure modes of paint are discussed, which explains how an area in or outside of a building can become contaminated with lead from paint. 

Before taking a liquid paint sample, it is important first to redistribute paint ingredients, since storage produces sedimentation within the container, a paint shaker or turbine stirrer is adequate for this purpose. The analysis sample should be taken from the center of the bulk sample immediately after shaking or stirring the container. For electron microscope analysis, a liquid sample should be applied to a glass slide, frozen in liquid nitrogen, then broken to expose the fresh surfaces.
