  2. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    The mechanical stability, freeze-thaw stability and shelf-life of paints are all improved by the addition of surfactants. The addition of surfactants to paint also allow the paint to coat a surface more easily because surfactants increase the wetting of a solution. [4]

  3. Freeze thaw resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_thaw_resistance

    Freeze thaw resistance, or freezing and thawing resistance, is the property of solids to resist cyclic freezing and melting. See also. Frost weathering;

  4. Polyvinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_alcohol

    Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer.It has the idealized formula [CH 2 CH(OH)] n.It is used in papermaking, textile warp sizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing.

  5. Blocked isocyanates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_isocyanates

    A blocked isocyanate can be added to materials that would normally react with the isocyanate such as polyols.They do not react at normal ambient room temperature. A formulation containing a blocked isocyanate is a single component material (and thus usually considered more convenient) but reacts like a two-component product but will not react until heated to the temperature required for ...

  6. Silicate mineral paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral_paint

    The range of application for such silicate paints is significantly higher than for pure silicate paints as the dispersion allows coats for less solid substrates and/or organic composition. Above that handling and processing is simpler than pure silicate paint. Since 2002 a third category of silicate paints is known: sol-silicate paint.

  7. Freeze-fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze-fracture

    Freeze-fracture is a natural occurrence leading to processes like erosion of the earths crust or simply deterioration of food via freeze-thaw cycles. [1] [2] To investigate the process further freeze-fracture is artificially induced to view in detail the properties of materials. Fracture during freezing is often the result of crystallizing ...

  8. Acrylic resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_resin

    Acrylic resin is a common ingredient in latex paint (UK: "emulsion paint"). Latex paints with a greater proportion of acrylic resin offer better stain protection, greater water resistance, better adhesion, greater resistance to cracking and blistering, and resistance to alkali cleaners compared to those with vinyl. [2]

  9. Electrostatic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_coating

    Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged particles to more efficiently paint a workpiece. Paint, in the form of either powdered particles or atomized liquid, is initially projected towards a conductive workpiece using normal spraying methods, and is then accelerated toward the work piece by a powerful electrostatic charge.
