Understanding The Role Of Additives In Industrial Painting
If you've been studying Industrial Painting, you've probably noticed the use
of dispersing pigments, extender pigments, as well as latex and emulsion. What's
the difference between these additives, you ask? Let's look closer at each kind
of color. This article will go over the different types of pigments, and explain
the function of dispersing pigments and extender pigments.
Dispersing colors
Dispersing pigments in industrial painting is a process wherein insoluble
pigments are reduced into smaller particles. The larger the particle's area, the
more intense the color, which is more economical for paint companies. There are
a variety of steps when dispersing the pigments. These steps are designed to
reduce clumps and ensure uniform concentrations of pigment within the final
coating. This technique also reduces grit and ensures an even color
intensity.
Extender pigments
Extender pigments found in industrial paint formulations are inexpensive
ingredients that are used to add bulk to the paint and control the film strength
and sheen. The majority of extenders are white and possess a refractive index
comparable to that of binders. They are made from common substances like silica,
clay as well as calcium carbonate. Silica improves paint's durability and talc
provides it with the necessary sheen.
Emulsion
Epoxy resins and vinyl acetate copolymers are among the most popular polymers
utilized in this application segment. The main properties of these resins are
excellent adhesion-cohesion balance as well as cost-effective. These resins are
used in paper coatings, where they can be applied in a manner similar to matte
paints. They are used to create an attractive matte or shiny finishand improve
the processability of paper.
Latex
Despite the fact that coating
additives represent less than 4% of the global weight of paint, they
represent a significant portion of the total cost. These components are an
important added value component for coatings companies. How do these components
actually perform? What are they that can be used to enhance the performance of
coatings? Understanding the purpose of additives in Industrial Painting
Finger-paint
The right place to go should you be interested in learning more about finger
paint safety. Learn about additives in industrial painting, and how to label
your finger paint safely. The content of the Technical Compliance File should be
easy to understand and comply with EU guidelines on safety of toys and the use
of chemicals and additives. The use of finger paint is covered under the
regulations listed below: EU REACH (General Product Safety Directive), Unfair
Commercial Practices Directive and the POP Recast Regulation 2019/1021.
Summary
In this blog, we aimed to give a brief overview of the different types of antimicrobial additives for coatings and their role in industrial painting. Due to the complexity and scope of the topic we're unable to give a comprehensive blog conclusion. We'll be keeping you informed of any new developments and insights related to this area and we will keep you updated!
