Paint is composed of pigments, binders, solvents, additives, and extenders that all play important roles. Pigments determine color and appearance, while binders provide adhesion and durability. Solvents adjust viscosity and come in organic varieties for solvent-based paints. Additives are used in small amounts but modify properties like surface tension, flow, foaming, and pigment stability.

Extender Pigments
Prime Pigments

4. Binders
In a paint mixture,
the binder is
responsible for
providing
adhesion, binding
the pigment, and
also gives the paint
resistance
properties which
make the final
coating tough and
durable.

5. Additives
•Additives are mixed in very small amounts and yet give a very significant
effect on the product.
Additives are used because
•Modify surface tension
•Improve flow properties
•Control Foaming
•Control skinning
•Improve pigment stability

Solvents
•The main purpose of the solvent is to adjust the
viscosity of the paint.
• Water is the main vehicle for water-based
paints.
• Solvent-based paints can have various
combinations of solvents as the vehicle, including
aliphatic, alcohols, etc.
• These include organic solvents such as
petroleum distillate, esters, glycol ethers, and the
like.
