Despite the introduction of water based and powder varnishes, cellulose nitrate varnishes with their high solvent content, are still widely used due to their easy application and their low prices. The current varnish application still requires the use of solvents. The chosen coating procedure determines the necessary processing viscosity, which may be adjusted in different ways ... 

Oil-soluble /7-butylated (/ A /-butylphenol-formaldehyde) resins are offered commercially by Union Carbide for coating and varnish applications [53]. 

Cresol-, xylenol-, and phenol-formaldehyde resoles find importance in the electronics field application. These materials are made flexible with PVB, PVF and alkyds. They are used in impregnating, dynamo sheet, and wire varnish applications. 

The presence of the unsaturated substituent along this polyester backbone gives this polymer crosslinking possibilities through a secondary reaction of the double bond. These polymers are used in paints, varnishes, and lacquers, where the ultimate cross-linked product results from the oxidation of the double bond as the coating cures. A cross-linked polyester could also result from reaction (5.J) without the unsaturated carboxylic acid, but the latter would produce a gel in which the entire reaction mass solidified and is not as well suited to coatings applications as the polymer that crosslinks upon drying. ... 

Other Derivatives and Applications. Copolymerization of DCPD with other unsaturated substances has received wide attention, and several useful appHcations have been developed. With drying oils (qv) thermal copolymerization leads to the production of resinous products, the so-called bodied oils, that give improved drying and result in paint and varnish coatings of greater resistance to weathering. 

Because of their wide compatibility and solubility, coumarone resins are used considerably in the paint and varnish industry. The resins also find application as softeners for plastics and rubbers such as PVC, bitumens and natural rubber. 

The first commercial applications of polypyromellitimides were as wire enamels, as insulating varnishes and for coating glass-cloth (Pyre.ML, Du Pont). In film form (Kapton) many of the outstanding properties of the polymer may be more fully utilised. These include excellent electrical properties, solvent resistance, flame resistance, outstanding abrasion resistance and exceptional heat resistance. After 1000 hours exposure to air at 300°C the polymer retained 90% of its tensile strength. 

A surface coating protects the substrate against abrasion, moisture, light, and corrosion. The binder for the pigment and extenders is fluid before application and rigid soon after. Natural binders range from gum arable to fish oil. The first varnishes were solutions of natural resins, having transparency, hardness, amorphous structure, and little permanence. 

All paints consist of a binder (sometimes called a medium) and pigment. Materials consisting of binder only are called varnishes. Most paints and varnishes contain solvent in order to make the binder sufficiently liquid to be applied. The combination of binder and solvent is called the vehicle. Some paints are available without solvent (e.g. solventless epoxies) but these generally require special methods of application (e.g. application of heat) to reduce the viscosity. 

Severe corrosion can be caused by organic acid fumes such as acetic or formic acids. These can be liberated by new wood, especially oak, and also by varnishes, glues, urea formaldehyde, plastics, fabrics and drying-oil paints, which can liberate fumes for a considerable time after application ... 

Thinning Ratio the recommended proportion of thinners to be added to a paint or varnish to render it suitable for a particular method of application. 

A lower range of 0 5 to 1-6 g/m may be permitted where thin MCtions are 10 be fabricated or formed after the application of paint, varnish or lacquer. 

Polyurethanes are used in many other applications, which we do not have room to discuss. These applications include paints, varnishes, adhesive binders for chipboard and plywood, hoses, timing belts, athletic tracks and playing surfaces, and the encapsulation of electrical components.

The principal field of application for synthetic polymers as art materials is that of paint binders, which developed in the second half of the twentieth century when manufacturers of artists paints and varnishes realized the potential of synthetic resins used in the decorative household and industrial paint market [81]. The most important families of synthetic artists paints are the acrylics, the vinyl acetate resins, and the alkyds, and Py-GC/MS has been used to identify all these types of modem paints.
