ADDITIVES

An additive is a substance that is added to

another material to change or improve its
characteristics. In the case of paint,
additives are commonly added to paint to
improve how the paint flows, to make it
stick better and to limit mildew growth.

Driers
Plasticisers
Fungicides, Biocides and Insecticides
Emulsifiers
UV Stabilizers
Adhesion promoters
Corrosion inhibitors
Texturizers

1.DRIERS (PENGERING)
Accelerate the paints drying (hardening)
by catalyzing the oxidation of the binder.
Added to dryer oils to enhance
polymerization or oxidation of
unsaturated groups
Example : Lead(Pb), Manganese (Mn),
Cobalt(Co),

The Oxidation Process (drying

process)
Paint dry as the result of an oxidative
reaction, an oxidative reaction being the
absorption of oxygen from the air. This
reaction is a complex one that can be
broken down into different stages;
The Autoxidation phase,
the Polymerisation phase and finally the
Stationary phase.

2.PLASTICISERS
(PEMPLASTIK)

Increase the paints flexibility

Give the nature of elasticity, plastic and
anti aging and low temperature resistant
to paint

Additives
3. Adhesion

Functions
Improve the adhesion of the coating to the substrate

promoters
4. Corrosion

Reduce the corrosion rate of the substrate

inhibitors
5. Texturizers

Impart textures to the coating

Additives

6. Fungicides,

Functions

Prevent growth and attack of fungi, bacteria and insects

Biocides and
Insecticides

7. Emulsifiers

Wetting agent increasing the colloidal stability of the

paints in liquid state

8. UV Stabilizers

Provide stability of the paints under ultra-violet light

APPLICATION OF PAINT

SWEEPING OF THE PAINT

Sweeping the by using a brush or roller.

AEROSOL SPRAY PAINT

ELECTROSTATIC PAINT
Paint in the form of powder is given
positive charges
The metal object is given a high voltage
negative charge and consequently it
became negatively charged.
Paint and metal object will have different
charge, therefore the paint will attracted
to metal object.

The paint melt when it deposited on

metal object

Application of electrostatic
paint

HEATING PAINT
The paint turn to liquid when it
expose to heat
The paint become harden when
cooling
Example :
wax or encaustic paint
