2. PAINTS
Paints are homogeneous mixtures of
paint vehicles and pigments. Paints are
used mainly for protective treatment of
base materials, metals or wood mainly
for decorative purpose.
2.1.2 Pigments.
(A) Opaque
(B) Transparant
(C) Special purpose
2.1.3 Oils.
Alkali refined Kettle bodying linseed oils are
mostly used. Soyabean oil, Tung oil, (china
wood oil - Kettle bodying) Tall oil
(combination of fatty acids and resins) are
used in some types.
2.1.4 Synthetic resins
(a) Phenolic resins
(b) modified phenolic resins (ester gum and
pure phenolics).
(c) maleic resins used in shorter oil lengths
(made by reacting maleic acid or anhydrite
with a poly-hydric alcohol such as - glycerine
in presence of rosin or ester gum).
Mills
Paints industry uses different types of mills such as
roller mills or ball mills, etc.. Figure shows threeroller mills in which each roller rotates in the
opposite direction of the others and with different
speeds with ratio 1:3:9. The clearance between each
two rollers must be controlled accurately to
maintain the desired finesse of dyes. This type of
mills leads to the desired homogeneity as the dye is
dispersed into its particles. This type of mills is
open and therefore cannot be used in grinding of
paints which contain high volatility solvents as
solvent emissions to the atmosphere could occur.
Filters
During the manufacturing steps in paints or
varnishes industry or during the oil heating process
the liquids are contaminated by foreign matters that
fall into them. Moreover the paint may contain
particles that were not ground to the required size
or some polymers that didnt dissolve. Some
surface hardness may also exist. For all the
previous reasons, paints and varnished liquids must
be purified by one of the following methods:
Packing machines
The packing may be manual, semi-automatic, or
automatic according to the size of production.
There is a number of packing machines differing in
speed and packs handling.
