  2. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    Binders are the film forming component of a paint as it dries and affects the durability, gloss, and flexibility of the coating. Polyurethanes, polyesters, and acrylics are all examples of common binders. The solvent is the medium in which all other components of the paint are dissolved and evaporates away as the paint dries and cures. The ...

    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. Freeze-casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze-casting

    Freeze-cast alumina that has been partially sintered. The freezing direction in the image is up. Freeze-casting, also frequently referred to as ice-templating, freeze casting, or freeze alignment, is a technique that exploits the highly anisotropic solidification behavior of a solvent (generally water) in a well-dispersed solution or slurry to controllably template directionally porous ...

  6. Blocked isocyanates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_isocyanates

    Blocked isocyanates are particularly useful in products with a dual cure mechanisms. As an example, Ultraviolet light initiates the polymerization of an acrylate based polymer that contains hydroxy groups on the polymer backbone. The system would also contain an isocyanate blocked with a malonate. This is now a one-component system.

  7. 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.

  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.

  9. Architectural coatings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_coatings

    Architectural coatings [1] [2] or paints [3] are paints and other coatings used to paint the exteriors and interiors of buildings, often called or external masonry coatings. Clear varnishes and lacquers are generally excluded. [1] Such products are usually designated for specific purposes such as roof coatings, wall paints, or deck finishes. [2]
