10 Questions
What are the three major ingredients of paint according to the given definition?
Binder, Pigment, VOC & additives
What is the broadest definition of paint according to the text?
A paint consists of a particular pigment, dispersed in a particular binder, dissolved in a particular solvent
How is the corrosion protection of a paint film related to its DFT?
In general, the corrosion protection afforded by a paint film is proportional to its DFT measured by Elcometer-an electro-magnetic induction gauge
What is the meaning of adhesion in the context of paint?
Adhesion refers to the degree of attachment between the paint film and the substrate
What are some of the properties that a paint should have according to the text?
High hiding power, required color, resistance to atmospheric conditions, washability, and resistance to corrosion
Explain the constituents of paint, their properties, and functions as defined in the text.
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.
How is paint defined according to the text?
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.
What are the general properties that a paint should possess?
A paint should have high hiding power, the required color, resistance to atmospheric conditions, washability, and corrosion resistance.
Explain the correlation between the corrosion protection of a paint film and its DFT as mentioned in the text.
The corrosion protection afforded by a paint film is related to its Dry Film Thickness (DFT), which is measured by Elcometer, an electromagnetic induction gauge.
Define adhesion in the context of paint and its significance.
Adhesion refers to the degree of attachment between the paint film and the substrate. It is important for ensuring the durability and effectiveness of the paint application.
