Paint Dictionary

It is the ability of the dry film layer to stay on the surface without blistering, lifting in thin layers or cracking. Adherence is perhaps the most important feature of the paint. Wet adhesion, the ability of the dry paint film to adhere to the surface despite wet conditions, is generally important for exterior paints.

It is a synthetic polymer used in high performance acrylic-based paints or water-based paints. Like the binder of paint, acrylic resins allow the coating to withstand chemicals and retain its color due to light fastness.

Acrylic Based Paint recipes are listed as alternatives below: Fixed dispersion of polymeric material mainly in aqua medium. Dispersion of plastic or resin in natural or synthetic water; synthetic, made by emulsion polymerization. (It should be noted that after polymerization, acrylic-based paint is a solid dispersed in water, so it is not an emulsion. Acrylic-based paint and emulsion are used similarly in the paint industry.) They are water-thinned paints made with synthetic binders such as polyvinyl acetate or acrylic resins. Unlike oil paints, acrylic paints dry quickly, flow smoothly and can be easily cleaned with water. High performance acrylic based paints contain 100% acrylic resin. They are water-thinned paints whose binder is mostly acrylic resin. Other binders added to paint to add specific properties or reduce costs are styrene, epoxy and polyvinyl acetate. 100% Acrylic-based Paint: These are paints that are diluted with water, using only acrylic resin as a binder. In general, very high quality acrylic-based paints are used for many different architectural coatings, 100% Acrylic-based paints have super adherence, long-term flexibility, breathability, alkali resistance, hardness, and gloss resistance.

They are resins with outstanding properties such as color and gloss resistance, alkali and oxidation resistance, hardness, adhesion and bonding strength and film life, and which have a distinguished place among coating formulas. Generally, they are resins formed as a result of polymerization of acrylic acid derivatives containing esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile and their copolymers. They are also known as acrylate resins.

Although used as a binder in medium equipment and marine enam hands, they are resins found in wood paints inside and outside.

The binder binds the pigment particles to form a uniform paint film, and also ensures that the paint adheres to the surface. The type and amount of binder determines most of the paint's performance characteristics, such as washability, hardness, adhesion and color strength. The preferred binder in the production of high-quality acrylic-based paints is resins such as acrylic polymers.

It is the process of homogeneously dispersing very fine solid particles in a liquid substance.

The ability of the paint to expand and contract without change in appearance or damage. Temperature changes cause expansion and contraction. For example, yellow pine expands at different rates depending on the grain size. Elasticity is the key to durability. Acrylic binders attract attention with their elasticity.

It is the penetration of a very low viscosity liquid into a solid surface. In this way, capillary spaces and pores can be filled. It creates good adherence to the next application and increases the strength of the surface.

The process of dispersing the liquid chemical substance in another liquid chemical substance with the help of an emulsifier.

Generally in high brightness but also in low brightness degrees; For example, matte enamels are topcoat paints characterized by their ability to form a smooth surface.

The ability of the paint to form a continuous dry film layer. This process occurs as a result of the evaporation of water or solvents and the joining of binders. Continuous dry film repels water.

It is the removal of some of the volatile parts in the film layer by keeping it in the atmosphere for a certain time before the furnace.

It is a cheaper ingredient than titanium dioxide, which fills and expands the gaps of the pigments. It cannot be used without the expanding pigment. Some commonly used expanders are kaolin, calcite and silica.

The sum of the volume of the pigment and binder divided by the total volume. It is expressed as a percentage (%). High volume solids mean thicker dry film layer, advanced hiding power, and high durability.

Dense oxide layer formed during heat treatment or hot rolling of steel.

They are paint and similar substances that dry their films on a surface under normal atmospheric conditions without being exposed to any external factors. Sometimes this can be in the form of chemical bonds with the air oxygen, and sometimes it can form a dry film directly by the evaporation of the solvent and thinner.

The process of atomizing paint by applying force through a hole at high pressure. Especially when the paint is pre-heated, it is the effect of solvents evaporation.

Any substance that affects the normal rate of reaction, starting it earlier or making it faster.

They are small holes resembling a pinhead that occur in the paint film due to moisture or solvent bleeding.

The thinner and binder together form the transport vehicle of the paint. They are thinners used in water and acrylic based paints, which evaporate as the paint dries and allow for proper paint application. The thinners of oil paints are turpentine or alcohol (spirit).

It is the preservation of elasticity and color of paint varnishes when exposed to certain degrees of heat.

Dome-shaped formulations with cavities on the paint, usually caused by heat or humidity. It may also occur as a result of the solvent being trapped in the paint film, which dries on the surface before the solvent evaporates completely.

Vomiting, when a light-colored paint or colorless varnish is applied over it, although it has dried, the condition of bringing the underlying color to the top, often unevenly.

Painting, paint or the total protective and decorative layer on a material.

Its presence increases the rate of chemical reaction. In some cases, the catalyst functions without being absorbed and regenerated. In other cases, it appears to have never reacted and functions with the authority of its surface characters. A negative catalyst (inhibitor) slows down the chemical reaction.

A condition in which the paint film cracks or crumbles into small particles when mechanically stretched or deeply scratched with the edge of the blade.

Resistance of paint to flow. High viscous paint flows slowly, less viscous paint flows quickly.

Electrochemical degradation, corrosion, which occurs as a result of the reactions of metals with their environment, can be given as the most obvious example of this.

The ability of the paint to cover or cover the surface or previously applied paint and surface stains. Coverage is provided by the pigment of the paint.

Uniformly round, natural or synthetic, inorganic or organic, insoluble dispersed particles (powder). These parts, by dispersing in the paint liquid, not only give color to the paint, but also improve the basic properties of the paint such as opacity, solidity, durability and corrosion resistance. This term included expanders with white or colored pigments. The difference between pigmented powders and dyes is generally studied on the basis of solubility.

It is the fact that a part of it floats on the surface by separating and gives a color different from the original color due to bad wetting or the use of pigments with very different specific weights.

It is the process of chemical compounds in different structures formed by the same or different monomers containing double bonds in reactive structure with the help of heat, light or catalysts. If a polymer structure consists of only one kind of monomer, it is called HOMOPOLIMER, and if it consists of different kinds of monomers such as two, three... it is called COPOLIMER.

(1) The name given to most of the natural or synthetic transparent and soluble products. They can be found in different colors. High molecular weight synthetic resins act as polymers. (2) They are solid, semi-solid, pseudo(pseudomer) solids with uncertain or very large molecular weight, which gain fluidity when exposed to stress, have a softening and melting range, and fracture conchoidally.
