21- using the barrier
principle works?

using the
22-

principle works?
By a chemical
reaction between
 the paint
constituents and

to resin, elastic and
slow dry.

Why are
Thixotropes added
25-
to a paint
formulation?
For paint to keep
solid particulate
constituents in
despersion within
the paint and stop
settlement and

effect.
26- Describe how a
basic inhibitor
 work.
Added into a
primer to protect
the steel substrate
by passivation.
