  2. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    The solvent also modifies the curing rate and viscosity of the paint in its liquid state. There are two types of paint: solvent-borne and water-borne paints. Solvent-borne paints use organic solvents as the primary vehicle carrying the solid components in a paint formulation, whereas water-borne paints use water as the continuous medium.

    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

    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.

  6. 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]

  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. Temperature-responsive polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature-responsive_polymer

    Temperature-responsive polymers or thermoresponsive polymers are polymers that exhibit drastic and discontinuous changes in their physical properties with temperature. [1] The term is commonly used when the property concerned is solubility in a given solvent, but it may also be used when other properties are affected.

  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]
