Study Notes
Paint Additives
- Examples of paint additives include UV stabilizers, biocides, and flow modifiers.
UV Stabilizers
- UV stabilizers are used to prevent degradation of paint caused by exposure to ultraviolet light.
- They are added to paint to protect it from fading, discoloration, and cracking.
Biocides
- Biocides are used to fight bacterial growth in paint.
- They are added to paint to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Flow Modifiers
- Flow modifiers are used to modify surface tension and improve flow properties in paint.
- They are added to paint to improve its flow, leveling, and wetting properties.
Defoamers
- Defoamers are used to control foaming and skinning in paint.
- They are added to paint to prevent foam formation and skinning on the paint surface.
Flatteners (De-Glossing Agents)
- Flatteners (de-glossing agents) are used to reduce the gloss of paint.
- They are added to paint to create a flat, matte finish.
