Paint Technology (2) - Wednesday

1. Mer ( single unit ), Single Molecule, Single Atom

2. “The joining together of a string or structure of repeated units”
3. Linear, Branched, Cross linked
4. Less than 40% Oil to Resin, Faster drying, suitable for steelwork
5. More than 60% Oil to Resin, slower drying, mainly decorative applications
6. Pigment with excellent “light scattering” properties, or “hiding ability”. It said to have covering
power
7. 0.1 to 1.0microns
8. Unsaturated oils will react with oxygen and solidify, saturated oils will not, so they are classed
as non-drying oils
9. Linseed, Tung, Soya, Safflower, China Wood
10. A pigment must remain solid within the binder. (A dye will dissolve)
11. Animal, Mineral, Synthetic, Vegetable
12. White
13. Red Lead, Coal Tar, Zinc Chromate, Calcium Plumbate
14. Talc, Chalk, Slate Flour, China Clay
15. MIO, Glass Flake, Graphite, Mica
16. Low Opacity, Blistering, Low Cohesive Strength, High Gloss
17. Critical Pigment Volume Concentration (CPVC)
18. Anti-settling Agent, Thickener, Storage Aid
19. Black
20. Adhesion, ease of application, Dielectric strength, Cohesive strength, Liquid to Solid, Will keep
the pigments in suspension, Impermeability
21. A basic inhibitor reacts with the substrate to create rust inhibitive salts (Phosphates &
Chromates), to “passivate” the surface and make it less reactive to oxidation and corrosion
22. Slate Flour
23. Permeable / Porous, Low Cohesive Strength, Low Gloss, Low Adhesion
24. Zinc Phosphate
25. Add thickness and bulk at low cost, increase intercoat adhesion
26. Green, Orange, Yellow
27. Increases Flexibility, Reduces Brittleness, Modifies the Film Properties
28. Zinc, Aluminium
29. To ensure even through thickness drying. (Prevent wrinkling & rivelling)
30. Thickener, Anti-Settling Agent, Aid to Storage
31. Loosely adhering cluster of pigments and particles
32. Anti-Skinning Agent. Prevents paint from forming a skin in the tin
33. Castor oil, Coconut oil
34. The resultant liquid after dissolving a solute in a solvent
35. Salt and Water, Sugar and Water
36. A solid or liquid mixed in another liquid, where there is no solubility
37. Suspension, Emulsion
38. Convertible
39. Crosslinked
40. Any Linear Polymer paints (Chlorinated Rubber, Vinyls, Emulsions)
41. Reversible. Can be returned to its original state if solvent is re-introduced or re-applied
42. Convertible. It is permanently altered to a new state after undergoing a chemical change
43. Solvent evaporation, Chemical Curing, Coalescence, Oxidation
44. Linear
45. Degree of Dispersion
46. Natural Oils & Resins
47. Branched
48. Air Drying
49. To physically join together
50. The time after opening and mixing, in which the contents of the container must be used
51. Amides, Amines, Isocyanates
52. Dispersion, as the pigments must remain solid within the binder
53. A chemical reaction, which is giving off heat
54. The time after mixing, in which the paint should stand prior to use, to allow polymerization
(crosslinking) to begin, and through wetting of the pigment particles to take place
55. Thermosetting coatings will cure if heat is applied, and Thermoplastic coatings will deform if
heat is applied
56. Crosslinking
57. Stand Time and Lead Time
58. No. (Phenolic resin paints are not chemically curing)
59. Chlorinated rubber, Vinyl, Cellulose, (C, E and G)
60. Thermosetting
61. It will allow the passage of moisture or electrolyte
62. Multi-directional polymerization, e.g. Epoxy, Urethane
63. Endothermic
64. Stove Drying
65. None (Chlorinated rubber is not chemically curing)
66. Heavy metal salts (such as Octoates and Napthanates of Cobalt, Manganese and Zirconium)
67. Thickeners, Thixotropic Agents, Anti-Settling Agents, Non-Drip
68. Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Castor Oil
69. Natural Oils & Resins
70. Solvent Evaporation followed by Oxidation
71. The temperature at which moisture, in the form of water vapour in the air will condense
72. The amount of water vapour present in the air, expressed as a percentage of the water vapour,
which “could be” in the air at the same temperature
73. The wet bulb should be read first, as it is artificially reduced and the temperature will gradually
rise back to ambient
74. Four Metres per second (4 m/s), or as fast as possible
75. De-ionised or Distilled Water
76. Aspirated Psychrometer
77. Increases
78. 2 consecutive identical readings (within 0.2 degrees)
79. Limpet Gauge (magnetic thermometer), Touch Pyrometer
80. No, never
