This document provides information about various types of paints and textures. It discusses primer, which prepares surfaces for painting by improving adhesion and durability. It also describes distemper as an economical whitewash paint made of chalk, lime and water. Lustre, enamel and oil paints are solvent-based and take longer to dry but last longer. Emulsion paint is water-based and provides a durable, washable finish. Textures can range from matte to glossy. Simulated textures imitate real textures without matching the object. Cement paint is an economical exterior paint that protects buildings from weather.
This document discusses different types of paints and their properties, as well as the paint preparation process. It describes various paint sheens like matte, eggshell, semi-gloss and gloss and their characteristics. It also outlines the key steps in the paint preparation process: mixing pigments, solvents and resins to form a paste; grinding the pigment particles to disperse them; thinning the paste to the desired consistency; and finally canning the finished paint product.
The document discusses the term "varnish" and provides definitions. It defines varnish as having a deceptively attractive external appearance or outward show. It further defines varnished and varnishing as giving a smooth and glossy finish to something. The rest of the document is about configuring and using the Varnish caching system.
This document discusses distempers and adhesives. It defines distempers as water-based paints used for masonry walls made by mixing whiting and glue boiled in water. It provides tips for applying distempers, such as ensuring a dry, smooth surface. Adhesives are defined as substances that bind surfaces together and can be used as substitutes for welding. Various types of adhesives are described, including glues derived from animals or plants as well as synthetic resins that are either thermosetting or thermoplastic.
1. Paints and distempers are used for interior and exterior works of buildings. Paints provide a decorative and durable finish while distempers are water-based paints made from chalk, glue, and resin or acrylic binder.
2. Common paint defects include cratering, dust/nibs, orange peel, sagging, and poor opacity. Their causes relate to application issues, materials, and environmental conditions. Defects can be remedied through sanding, re-application of paint, or adjustments to the application process.
3. Enamel paint produces a hard, glossy finish and is made by adding varnish to oil-based paint. It is suitable for wood
Finnish architect Alvar Aalto was influential in the modernist movement. Some of his most notable works include the Viipuri Library, Paimio Sanatorium, and Villa Mairea. Villa Mairea, built in 1938-1941, was a private estate home in Finland commissioned by Harry and Maire Gullichsen. Aalto designed the home to be inspired by nature, using a serpentine rock for the walls and cantilevering the structure over a stream. The L-shaped floor plan separated the private and public areas of the home across the ground and first floors.
Varnish is a protective clear finish made from plant resins and solvents that is applied to wood and other surfaces. It enhances the natural grain and protects from environmental damage like water, abrasion, and UV rays. There are different types of varnishes classified by their resin and solvent composition, including oil, spirit, turpentine and water varnishes. A good varnish dries quickly to a hard, durable and weather-resistant film without cracking or hiding the wood grain. Common ingredients are resins like copal and shellac, solvents like linseed oil, turpentine and alcohol, and metallic driers that accelerate the drying process.

The Indian decorative paint industry has grown at 15% annually since liberalization in the 1990s. It is a 70 billion rupee industry, with per capita consumption of only 1.5 kg compared to the global average of 15 kg. The industry is dominated by Asian Paints, Kansai Nerolac, Berger Paints, and ICI Paints. Key segments include emulsions, distempers, enamels, and wood finishes. Major players launch new products regularly, and the industry is expected to grow strongly due to increasing incomes, urbanization, and development in real estate and infrastructure.

This document discusses different types of paints, including cement paints and enamel paints. It provides details on the key ingredients in cement paints, which is a mixture of Portland or white cement, lime, mineral extenders, and water repellent substances. Cement paint provides protection from UV rays, severe weather, and prevents fungus/bacteria growth on masonry surfaces. Enamel paint has a hard, glossy and opaque finish and is made from white lead or zinc white ground in oil and mixed with petroleum spirit and resinous matter. It can be applied to woodwork, plastered surfaces, and iron/steel surfaces.
Paints are used to protect surfaces from weathering and corrosion and improve appearance. They contain a base, carrier, pigments, and other additives. The base provides the body, the carrier helps spread the base and allows coloring from pigments. Common bases include zinc white and lead, and common carriers include water, linseed oil, and poppy oil. Additional components like fillers, solvents, and driers are added to provide bulk, spread the paint, and aid drying. Paints are classified into oil, plastic, cement, bituminous, water, and distemper paints. They serve to beautify, protect from corrosion and weathering, and make materials more durable. Good paint has

Finishing works (Building Construction)Zairul Zaiky
This document discusses finishing works in building construction. It focuses on plastering as a type of wall finishing. Plastering functions to protect and cover basic work, produce a flat surface, protect from climate effects, provide a base for paint or tiles, increase durability, and provide comfort. Plastering of internal walls involves base and finish coat layers applied with trowels, while external walls involve thicker, rougher base and finish coats. Different types of materials like cement, lime, sand, and water are used for plastering. Floor finishes can also include tiles made from materials like thermoplastic, vinyl, cork, clay, quarry, and terrazzo.
