It is most commonly used to protect,color, or provide texture to objects. Paint can be made orpurchased in many colors—and in many different types, suchas watercolor, artificial, etc. Paint is typically stored, sold, andapplied as a liquid, but dries into a solid. Varnish is atransparent, hard, protective finish or film primarily used inwood finishing but also for other materials. Varnish istraditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinneror solvent. Varnish finishes are usually glossy but may bedesigned to produce satin or semi-gloss sheens by the additionof "flatting" agents. Varnish has little or no color, is transparent,and has no added pigment, as opposed to paints or woodstains, which contain pigment and generally range from opaqueto translucent. The technology of paints, varnishes and alliedproducts is changing rapidly and becoming more complex eachday. The paint industry is an important segment of the chemicalindustry. Paint technology utilizes the science of chemistry,physics and engineering. The paint industry is broadlyclassified into decorative and industrial segment. Decorativepaints consist 70% of market. Paints, varnishes, and alliedproduct industry is gaining ground at a rapid pace in moderntime accompanied with closed advance in surface coatingtechnology. They are formulated for specific purposes likeoutside house paints and exterior varnishes are intended togive good service when exposed to weathering; interior wallpaints are formulated to give excellent coverage. The Rs40,600-crore Indian paint industry is likely to see a 20 per centcompounded annual growth rate until 2016. The industry willreach the level of Rs 62,000 crore in the next two years.

There has beenconsiderable impact in this field. Surface coating technologyspecializes in finding out engineering solutions to all thecritical production problems related to coating the products ona continuous and consistent basis in your production plant.Surface coating can be defined as a process in which asubstance is applied to other materials to change the surfaceproperties, such as colour, gloss, resistance to wear orchemical attack, or permeability, without changing the bulkproperties. Production of surface coating by any methoddepends primarily on two factors: the cohesion between thefilm forming substances and the adhesion between the filmand the substrate. The development of science andtechnology revolutionized the surface coating industry in theprogressive countries of the world. Surface coatingtechnology involves the use of various types of products suchas resins, oils, pigments, polymers, varnishes, plasticizers,emulsions, etc. We have completely replaced costlypetroleum solvents with water and we get cheaper finishedproducts with no evaporation loss and fire hazards. Paint isany liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition which afterapplication to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to anopaque solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, colouror provide texture to objects. The paint industry volume inIndia has been growing at 15% per annum for quite someyears now. Varnish is one of the important parts of surfacecoating industry. They are used to change the surface gloss,making the surface more matte or higher gloss, or to providethe various areas of a painting with a more unified finish.Plasticizer plays an important role in the formation ofpolyvinylchloride (PVC). It is also used to plasticize thepolymers. Polymers are divided into three different types;linear polymers, branched polymers and cross linkedpolymers. Polymer Energy system is an award winning,innovative, proprietary process to convert waste plastics intorenewable energy. On the basis of value added, Indian shareof plastic products industry is about 0.5% of national GDP.This book basically deals with principles of film formation,evaporation of solvent from a solution, chemistry andproperties of drying and other oils, glyceride structure and filmformation, the size of polymer molecules, processing of oil

Mostresin or gum varnishes consist of a natural, plant or insectderived substance dissolved in a solvent. The two main typesof natural varnishes are spirit varnish (alcohol-based) andturpentine or petroleum based varnish. Spirit varnishes madewith alcohol are conveniently prepared and on account of theirrapid drying and leaving no disagreeable smell are in frequentuse in the household for covering various articles of art. Resinis a class of non volatile (non-evaporating), solid or semisolidorganic substances obtained directly from certain plants asexudations or prepared by polymerization of simple molecules.Some hard and soft resins used in varnishes are amber, copal,shellac, sandarac, mastic, resin of turpentine, dammar etc.Rosins are classified as pale yellow, yellow, reddish to yellow,brown or black rosin. If the injection water be not completelyexpelled the rosin is opaque. If the essential oils have notbeen completely eliminated the rosin is viscous and tacky.Spirit varnishes are more or less thin, more or less viscous,colourless or more or less coloured, opaque or transparentsolutions, of one or more natural resins, e.g. shellac andshandarac etc., in one more appropriate volatile solventswhich leave on evaporation a thin, more or less resistant filmwhich both adorns and protects the object on which it isapplied. Some of the fundamentals of the book arecharacteristics of spirit varnishes solvents, chemistry anddistillation of rosin, sources and methods of obtainingturpentine, distillation of turpentine, turpentine testing andturpentine substitutes, chemistry and distillation of rosin, rosinspirit rosin oil, chemistry of terpenes and camphors, amber,asphaltum collodion and celluloid varnishes, India rubber,insulating, mastic and matte spirit varnishes, rosin spirit,sandarach, shellac spirit varnishes and enamels, testing andanalysis of spirit varnishes, the determination of resins andsolvents in spirit varnishes.

It is used inthe production of art, in industrial coating, as a driving aid(road surface marking), or as a barrier to prevent corrosion orwater damage. Quality control for paint product can beachieved through conducting a number of physical andchemical tests to paint samples. In the paint and coatingindustries, paint testing is often used to determine if the paintor coating will adhere properly to the substrates to which theyare applied. Testing of paint, varnishes and resins can bedone in a number of different ways. The fact of the matter isthat many industries use several different paint testingmethods in order to ensure accurate results. Products of thesurface coating are essential for the preservation of all typesof architectural structures, including factories, from ordinaryattacks of weather, micro and macro organisms, atmosphericpollutant, etc. Architectural coatings are usually applied towood, gypsum wall board, or plaster surfaces. Bituminouscoatings are used on surfaces to reduce or eliminate thedestructive effects of weather, chemicals and water vapour.They are also used as sound deadeners, to provideresistance to heat transfer and to provide abrasive coatings tominimize slip hazards. Traffic paint is an important factor inthe control of traffic, not only of motor vehicles but also ofaircraft at airports and of pedestrian traffic. Proper paintformulations depend upon raw materials selection andaccurate calculation of the amounts of its constituents.Therefore it becomes necessary to adopt various testmethods for testing the quality of product. The final productshall have no adverse effect on the health of personnel whenused for its intended purpose and applied in approvedfacilities with the use of approved safety equipment. Thistesting manual elaborates the methods used to determine thephysical and chemical properties of paint, varnish, resins, andrelated materials.

These are increasingly being used in automotive,engineering and consumer durable sectors. Paint testing canbe done in a number of different ways. The fact of the matter isthat many industries use several different paint testingmethods in order to ensure accurate results. Paint should betested in a wet form for particular properties but also in the dryform. Testing of paints generally falls into three categories:testing of the raw materials, testing of the finished product andperformance testing using accelerated weathering and othersimulation type methods of evaluation. Coatings technologistsdeal with interfaces of all classes gas liquid as in an aerosolspray liquid liquid, as in an emulsion gas solid, as in a drypigment before its immersion in a vehicle liquid solid, as in apigment dispersion and solid solid, as when the crystal facesof two different pigment particles are in tight contact. Paintscientists are particularly interested in the formation of liquidsolid interfaces that are stable in the package, that is, in thepermanent replacement of the air at the air solid interface ofthe pigment by the vehicle to give the liquid solid interface ofthe dispersion. In coatings and similar products, the criteria forbest performance particulate ingredients; inorganic, organic,extender and metallic flake pigments and dispersed phase oflatexes depends on the size and shape of particles composingthe particulate materials. The purpose of paint testing is to helpand ensure that the minimum requirements for ingredients andmaterial characterization are met by the manufacturer on abatch basis, and to help ensure that the formulated product willprovide satisfactory performance in the environment.Handbook on Paint Testing Methods explains about aspect ofgloss, specular glass, sheen, contrast gloss, absence of bloomgloss, distinctness of image gloss, specular gloss evaluation,specular reflectance, geometric considerations,instrumentation, goniophotometers, specular glossmeters,basic factors producing hiding power, refractive indexes ofwhite pigments, refractive indexes of organic pigments, filmsfor testing preparation of films for test, pigments andextenders, metallic flake pigments, latexes, methods fordetermining particle, treatment of data, particle size with lightmicroscope etc. This handbook elaborates the different testingmethods of paints with an understanding of the various tests

A solvent isusually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. Solvents findvarious applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gasindustries, including in chemical syntheses and purificationprocesses. Thinners are defined as chemical compounds thatare introduced into the paint prior to application, in order tomodify the viscosity and other properties related to the rate ofcuring that may affect the functionality and aesthetics of thefinal layer painting.Paint thinner, a solvent used in paintingand decorating, for thinning oil-based paint and cleaningbrushes. A Thinner may be a single solvent or a combinationof solvent types. Often, specific thinners are required by themanufacturer of a coating to prevent damage to coatingproperties that may occur when an inappropriate thinner isused. Solvents (for cleaning up or softening) and Thinners(for diluting or extending) are useful not only in painting but inother areas such as Wooden Furniture industry, Automobileindustry, Ink industry, Rubber industry. As the paint industryis a major consumer of Thinners & Solvents, and isexpanding at a tremendous speed, it is very obvious that thedemand of thinners, too, will increase tremendously.
