Paint Composition Quiz

Binder, Pigment, VOC & additives

A paint consists of a particular pigment, dispersed in a particular binder, dissolved in a particular solvent

In general, the corrosion protection afforded by a paint film is proportional to its DFT measured by Elcometer-an electro-magnetic induction gauge

<p>The constituents of paint are binder, pigment, VOC, and additives. The binder provides adhesion, the pigment provides color and hiding power, VOC is the volatile organic compound that evaporates during drying, and additives enhance specific properties of the paint.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Paint is defined as a unique homogeneous mixture of three major ingredients namely binder, pigment, VOC, and additives, which when applied on the surface as a thin layer forms a solid dry adherent film after oxidation/evaporation/polymerization.</p> Signup and view all the answers
