painting techniques and
treatments.

PAINT

What is Paint?
It is anyliquid, liquefiable,
ormastic composition that, after
application to an objectin a thin
layer, converts to asolid film.
It can be used for material made of
wood, steel, concrete, and bricks.
It is most commonly used to
protect, color, or provide texture to
objects.

HISTORY OF PAINT
38,000 B.C., people used paint made from soot, earth, and animal fat to
adorn the walls of their caves
ancient Egyptian society (3150-31 B.C.), painters mixed ground glass or
semiprecious stones, lead, earth, or animal blood with oil or fat.
end of the 1200s, English house painters formed guilds to protect trade
secrets and standardize their craft.
1600s and 1800s, most house paint used either oil or water as a base.
In the 18th century, England was a hive of paint innovation.
Around 1800s, white pigment made with nontoxic zinc oxide a viable
alternative to poisonous lead was invented in Europe.
Later in the 19th century, paint manufacturers began employing roller mills,
like those used to process grain, and English painters guilds became trade
unions.
In 1866, Sherwin-Williams, which would become one of the largest global
paint makers, opened for business. The company invented ready-to-use paint,
releasing its first product, raw umber in oil, in 1873.
In 1982, Benjamin Moore innovated computerized color-matching system
Currently most paint companies sell low- and zero-VOC paints.

COMPONENTS OF

PAINT

1. BINDER
holds the pigment to a surface
It is responsible for providing
adhesion and also gives the
paint resistance properties which
make the final coating tough and
durable.

2. Diluent or Solvent
the main purposes of the
diluent are to dissolve the
polymer and adjust
theviscosity of the paint.

3. Pigment
Pigments are granular solids
incorporated in the paint to
contribute color.

There are two general

categories of pigments:
a. Prime Pigments are mainly
responsible for color or whiteness in
a paint, as well as the paints ability
to hide undesirable surface flaws.
b. Extender Pigments are designed
to add bulk, but are not as wellsuited to hiding surface flaws as
prime pigments.

4. Additives
are usually added in small
amounts, yet provide a
significant effect on the
product.
When certain properties
need to be manipulated or
enhanced, additives are

Used in Building
Construction

Four Types of Places to Paint

On:
1.Interior wall
and ceiling
2.Exterior
wall surface
3.Wooden
surface
4.Metal

1. Interior Wall and

Ceiling

Following types of paints can be

used as interior paint:
Distemper:
It is common type paint used in interior
wall and ceiling for protecting and
decorating brick wall, concrete and
plastered surface.
Types of Distemper:
Acrylic distemper is washable and
can be applied on plaster, wall and
asbestos. Synthetic and dry
distemper are not washable.

Plastic paint:
It is also called plastic
emulsion paint or interior
emulsion paint. It is water base
paint. This paint is durable and
can be washed.
They are available in three
categories :
1. Regular emulsion
2. Economy emulsion
3. Premium emulsion

2.
Exterior

Following types of paints can be

used as exterior paint:
Cement paint- It is water based paint. It
gives nice finish to newly constructed
building.
Acrylic emulsion- It has high capability
to withstand against weathering impact.
It gives surface a nice and durable finish.
Textured plaster- It is also emulsion
based paint. But the surface protection
capability of textured plaster is much
better than other emulsion paint.

3. Wood

 Traditional paint for wood is varnish.

But now a days many people choose
modern version of varnish
"polyurethane and melamine" for
wood finishes. It allows wood grains
to see through it unlike varnish.

4. Metal

Following types of paints can be

used as paints on metal surfaces:

Enamel paint is commonly used

for metal. This is oil based paint.
Following types of enamel paints
is used on metal surface in
building construction:
a) General purpose enamel
paint
b) Synthetic enamel paint

a. General purpose enamel paint- This

type of enamel paint's protecting capability
is lower than other two. But using two coat
of this paint can give long protection to
metal surface.
b. Synthetic enamel paint- This type of
paint gives metal surface a good finish with
atmospheric protection. Synthetic enamel
paint can also be used on wooden surface.
c. Premium enamel paint- It has excellent
protective capability against atmospheric
attack on metal. It also gives glossy effect
with nice surface finish.

Failure of a paint
Flaking- is lifting up and peeling
away of the paint due to loss of
adhesion

 Contamination- foreign
contaminants added without the
manufacturers consent can cause
various film defects.

 Peeling- most commonly due to

improper surface treatment before
application and inherent
moisture/dampness being present in
the substrate.

 Chalking- is the progressive

powdering of the paint film on the
painted surface.

 Cracking -comes from painting more

than one coat of paint before the first
had time to dry.

 Erosion- is very quick chalking

version. It occurs due to external
agents like air, water etc.

 Blistering- is due to improper

surface exposure of paint to strong
sunshine.
