Book Description

(LIMITED EDITION- ONLY PHOTOSTAT COPY AVAILABLE) The technology of paints, varnishes and allied products is changing rapidly and becoming more complex each day. The paint industry is an important segment of the chemical industry. Paint technology utilizes the science of chemistry, physics and engineering. The paint industry is broadly classified into decorative and industrial segment. Decorative paints consist 70% of market. Paints, varnishes, and allied product industry is gaining ground at a rapid pace in modern time accompanied with closed advance in surface coating technology. They are formulated for specific purposes like outside house paints and exterior varnishes are intended to give good service when exposed to weathering; interior wall paints are formulated to give excellent coverage. Varnish is one of the important parts of surface coating industry. Varnish is a transparent, hard, protective finish or film primarily used in wood finishing but also for other materials. Varnishes are also applied over wood stains as a final step to achieve a film for gloss and protection.Paint is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to an opaque solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, colour or provide texture to objects. The paint industry volume in India has been growing at 15% per annum for quite some years now. As far as the future growth prospects are concerned, the industry is expected to grow at 12 to 13% annually over the next five years. The technology is required to produce different type of new paints and varnishes based on different type of uses. These newer products have enabled paint manufacturers to improve the performance properties of their paints and coatings and so satisfy the more stringent requirements of our modern industrial society. The future for industrial paints, varnishes and allied product is bright. The contents of this book include Acrylic emulsion paints, Aluminium Paint, Cement Paint, Industrial paint, N.C.Thinner, Oil Based Paint, Paint Additives, Red Oxide Paint, Stoving Paint, Varnishes etc. It also highlights the Paint industry in India.
