Paint Formulation and Process. How Paint is made

Description:

Surface coating industry is one of the most popular industries. Paints, varnishes and

lacquers industry is gaining ground at a rapid pace in modern time accompanied with

closed advance in surface coating technology. They are formulated for specific

purposes: outside house paints and exterior varnishes are intended to give good service

when exposed to weathering; interior wall paints are formulated to give excellent

coverage and good wash ability; and lacquers are formulated for rapid drying. Varnish is

one of the important parts of surface coating industry. Varnish is a transparent, hard,

protective finish or film primarily used in wood finishing but also for other materials.

They are used to change the surface gloss, making the surface more matte or higher

gloss, or to provide the various areas of a painting with a more unified finish. Varnishes

are also applied over wood stains as a final step to achieve a film for gloss and

protection. Some products are marketed as a combined stain and varnish. Paint is any

liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin

layer is converted to an opaque solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, colour or

provide texture to objects. The paint industry volume in India has been growing at 15%

per annum for quite some years now. As far as the future growth prospects are

concerned, the industry is expected to grow at 12 to 13% annually over the next five

years. The technology is required to produce different type of new paints and varnishes

based on different type of uses. The paint and coatings industry plays an integral role in

sustainability; coatings protect the objects we depend on every day, preserve our

possessions, so they last longer and provide for a sustainable future. They are

indispensable products that extend the useful life of everyday objects by acting as a

protective barrier. These newer products have enabled paint manufacturers to improve

the performance properties of their paints and coatings and so satisfy the more stringent

requirements of our modern industrial society. The future for industrial paints, varnishes

and lacquers is bright. In the next few years its value will go up gradually in line with the

global trend.
