2. PAINT IS ANY LIQUID OR MASTIC COMPOSITION THAT
AFTER APPLICATION TO A SUBSTRATE IN THIN LAYER ,
CONVERTS TO A SOLID FILM
•IT IS A SIMPLY PIGMENT SUSPENDED WITH A LIQUID
•IT IS USED TO DECORATE, PROTECT AND PROLONG THE
LIFE OF NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC MATERIALS AND
ACTS AS A BARRIER AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS

3.  PIGMENT: IT IS USED TO IMPART COLOUR
 BINDER: A POLYMER, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
RESIN, FORMING A MATRIX TO HOLD THE PIGMENT
IN PLACE
 EXTENDER: LARGER PIGMENT PARTICLES ADDED TO
IMPROVE ADHESION , STRENGTHEN THE FILM AND
SAVE BINDER
 SOLVENT(THINNER): EITHER AN ORGANIC SOLVENT
OR WATER IS USED TO REDUCE THE VISCOSITY OF
THE PAINT FOR BETTER
 ADDITIVES: USED TO MODIFY THE PROPERTIES OF
THE LIQUID PAINT OR DRY FILM

4.  EASE OF APPLICATIONGOOD FLOW OUT OF
APPLICATION MARKS

 HIGH OPACITY
 QUICK DRYING
 CORROSION, WATER AND HEAT RESISTANCE
 COLOUR STABILITY
 ABRASION AND SCRATCH RESISTANCE
 DURABILITY
 FLEXIBILITY
 EASILY CLEANED

6.  IT CONSISTS OF PORTLAND CEMENT AND OTHER
INGREDIENTS LIKE LIME, PIGMENTS, HYDROSCOPIC SALTS,
WATER REPELLANTS, FUNGICIDES ETC.
 COMPOSITION
PORTLAND CEMENT 65%
HYDRATED LIME 25%
AND OTHER INGREDIENTS IN SUITABLE PROPORTIONS
 THE MATERIAL SHALL BE FREE FROM ORGANIC BINDERS
 THE MATERIAL SHALL BE IN THE POWDER FORM, FREE FROM
LUMPS WHEN MIXED WITH WATER
 DURABILITY: WHEN PREPARED AND TESTED FOR NORMAL
OUTDOOR EXPOSURE A GENERAL BREAKDOWN OF THE FILM

IN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS

7.  PACKING: THE DRY MATERIAL SHALL BE PACKED IN POLYTHENE
BAGS IN SUITABLE METAL/ PLASTICC CONTAINERS
 MARKING: EACH CONTAINER SHALL BE MARKED WITH
 NAME OF THE MATERIAL
 INDICATION OF THE SOURCE OF MANUFACTURE

20.  Paint and natural wood finishes are an effective
way to protect and decorate surfaces.
 For a decorative finish coat to last and look as
good as possible, the right base coats are
essential. For interiors, a combined primer-first
coat is a good option.
 Interior Painting can be done by brush, rollers,
pads and also through the method of spray gun.
 Traditionally, homeowners had a choice between
water-based and oil-based paints, but because
they tend to have higher VOC levels, it's important
to consider if oil-based paints are for you.

21.  Most paints fall into one of the general categories
of eggshell, semi-gloss, flat or gloss.
 Paints can be categorized in two types i.e. Water
based paint and Oil based paint.
 There are different types of interior paints for e.g.
Matt paint,Matt Enamel,SatinEggshell,Semi-
Gloss,Gloss Paint etc.

22. • low VOCs
• easy cleanup with water
• quick drying
• an elastic, flexible finish resistant to cracking
• stable color over time, without yellowing

23. • attractive gloss
• good "leveling" (brush strokes fill themselves in to
create a smooth finish)
• hard, durable finish.
 Oil Based Paints are popular for glossy woodwork,
doors, and furniture, as well as demanding
surfaces such as floors.
 Be cautious when switching to a water-based paint
if the surface has previously been coated with an
oil-based product, as the new paint may not stick.
In this situation,washing the surface and then
roughening it all over with a medium to smooth
grit sandpaper—making it clean, dry, and dull in
order to prevent peeling of the new coat.

24.  When applying over a porus surface,mix wall and
ceiling primer and undercoat with upto 20% water
to make a diluted coat.this will seal the surface and
promote adhesion.
 Dilution rate will depend on the porosity of the
surface.A rear patch is required to determine the
correct dilution rate.
 Finish with a full coat of wall and ceiling and
undercoat to enhance the top coat colour.

25.  Sand down and then clean with a detergent.
 Apply one full coat of wall and ceiling primer and
undercoat to promote adhesion and enhance the
top coat colour.
 For plaster surface which are porous,chalky or
slightly degraded but otherwise structurally
sound,apply one coat of farrow and ball masonry
and plaster stabilizing primer.

26.  Although latex- and oil-based paints can be
applied with rollers or pads as well as brushes,
cleaning them after using oil paints is difficult and
will require lots of white spirit or thinner.
 Primer
Use a brush, roller or pad.
 First Coat
Use a brush, roller or pad.
 Flat
Use a brush, roller, pad or sprayer.

27.  When using more than one tin of the same
colour check than the batch numbers are the
same.
 Stir paint thoroughly before use.
 Apply two coats using a brush or roller. On
application of the final coat lay off the paint in a
single direction.
 Estate emulsion modern emulsions, dead flat,
full gloss and estate eggshell as eggshell are dry
in two hours and can be recoated in four hours.
 Clean brushes and rollers with warm soapy
water.
