Production of emulsion paint with the available material

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><div><p><strong>1.0 INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p>Until recently, paint production was regarded as art, and use was made of it principally for decorative purposes. The production then was by trial and error with no standard principle and little or no regard to the quality of the final product. With the application of science in the production of paint, product of high quality is now possible. This time, not only to give appearance but more importantly for surface protection. Thus, modern paint industry firm a small but important part of the chemical industry. It is closely related to the plastics, and petroleum industries and like then is based on modern knowledge of chemistry, physical and engineering.</p><p><strong>THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT RESEARCH WORK</strong></p><p>The purpose of this work is to make use of available source materials in the production of Emulsion Paint, test the properties of the paint and its performance against weather, and thus set a standard for future works.</p><p><strong>THE SCOPE OF PROJECT RESEARCH</strong></p><p>Paints is classified according to its application and functions ie. Varishers, leaguers, fillers etc. Emulsion paint which is a water based paint is principally used for external and internal surface coatings, mostly in building for appearance and as a surface protector. Apart from their protective action, vanushers, and leaguers increases the protective action of manufactured goods.</p><p>The process involved in paint production, qualities and performances of emulsion paint in particular are largely dependent on the properties of its constituents and the ratios of these constitutions include pigments, pigment extenders, additives and vehicles. Failure to make proper formulation before production causes deterioration and film degradation.</p><p>Emulsion paint production from available materials must meet the present need for a high standard of performance so as to cater satisfactorily for the needs of the society, at a particular paint in time and to demonstrate a credible record of an ability to challenge external and future influences.</p></div><h3></h3><br> <br><p></p>
