Color. Food color means to a cook what paint means to an artist. Without the bright colors of vegetables and fruits, our meals would be a series of brown and white pictures. Synthetic colors are covered in the section on "Coloring of Food" this section pertains to natural colors. 

The paint technologist entrusted with the task of formulating a paint to meet a specified set of conditions must first decide what type of binders he should use and the type of solvent blend that this will require. In the particular case of a finish, he must then select the pigments most likely to give the required colour, bearing in mind any limitations imposed by his choice of binder system or by the conditions to which the paint will be subjected. 

It can be seen from what has been said that the technology of surface preparation and coating application is complex. Attention to detail cannot be ignored and every effort must be made to train painting inspectors as well as possible. Certification schemes are, without doubt, a positive step in this direction and should be supported. 

Before lead in paint was discontinued, lead chromate was a common pigment in yellow paint. A 1.0-L solution is prepared by mixing 0.50 mg of lead nitrate with 0.020 mg of potassium chromate. Will a precipitate form What should [Pb2+] be to just start precipitation ... 

Typewriter correction fluid was first invented by Bette Nesmith Graham J1 21 Her early version for the product consisted of a white tempura paint to correct mistakes. Looking for a mixture that was both quick-drying and barely detectable, she discovered a formulation that she would later sell to the Gillette Company in 1979.

A film of paint, 3 mm thick, is applied to a flat surface that is inclined to the horizontal by an angle 9. If the paint is a Bingham plastic, with a yield stress of 150 dyn/cm2, a limiting viscosity of 65 cP, and an SG of 1.3, how large would the angle 9 have to be before the paint would start to run At this angle, what would the shear rate be if the paint follows the power law model instead, with a flow index of 0.6 and a consistency coefficient of 215 (in cgs units) ... 

The Bingham plastic model can describe acrylic latex paint, with a yield stress of 112 dyn/cm2, a limiting viscosity of 80 cP, and a density of 0.95 g/cm3. What is the maximum thickness of this paint that can be applied to a vertical wall without running ...
