HISTORY OF PAINT

Prepared by: Sammy Laviña

Const. Painting Trainer/Assessor
 Paint and color started as early as man’s civilization. During the old
days, man paint their caves, wares with the use of natural occurring
materials like chalk and clays with animal fats and vegetables oils as
binders.
 In the eighteen century, slowly the importance of paints was realized
and factory production of paint was started.

 From then on, extensive developments of pigments and binders were

done.
 By 1930- 1940’s, alkyd as main resin for interior house
paints was developed followed by latex based paints in the
1950’s and other silicone- modified alkyds.
 The development in the last 30-40 years has also been rapid.
 Although the manufacture still rely natural resources of raw materials,
there have been a continuing shift in the use of synthetic materials
which offer important benefits.
 BASIC CHEMISTRY OF PAINT

 There are two main classifications of architectural and decorative paints:

 OIL-BASED
 Are paints that are based on polyunsaturated vegetable oils. In the past,
unmodified oils, e.g. linseed and Tung oil, were often used. Today, that
usage is now reduce to right markets, e.g. tung oil for floorboards.
 Today’s big selling oil-based paints are almost invariably chemically
modified to form an alkyd which is a polyester usually containing
soya, sunflower or sunflower oil.
 The modification results in faster dry and greater hardness than was
possible with the original oil paints. The solvent used is mineral turps.
 WATERED-BASED

 Paints, the binder is synthetic and usually

based on methyl methaclyrate, butyl
acrylate,vinyl acetate, styrene, or a
combination of these materials in a single
resin. Other materials including some to
enhance adhesion and surfactants to
maximize stability are also present. Most of
the solvent is water together with a low level
of organic solvents including coalescent
solvent.
 BASIC INGREDIENTS OF PAINTS

 All painting or coatings contains both solid and liquid

components. All paints have four basic categories:
 Pigment that provide shee, color and
hiding.

 Binder that holds the pigment particles

together and provide adhesion
 Volatile liquid or solvent hat acts as
carrier for the pigments and binder

 Additives that enhance certain

properties like drying, brushing ease or
mould resistance.
