  2. Water miscible oil paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_miscible_oil_paint

    At midrange (between short paste and long paste) water miscible oil paint is gouache-like, sharing the properties of both transparent watercolor and opaque oil (in the manner of watercolor, for example, some colors will darken upon drying, the more so as more water is mixed into the paint, and in the manner of oil, the paint film will have some ...

  3. Viscosity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_index

    The viscosity index (VI) is an arbitrary, unit-less measure of a fluid's change in viscosity relative to temperature change. It is mostly used to characterize the viscosity-temperature behavior of lubricating oils. The lower the VI, the more the viscosity is affected by changes in temperature.

  4. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    A typical modern application would be Honda motor's use of 5W-20 (and in their newest vehicles, 0W-20) viscosity oil for 12,000 kilometres (7,500 mi). Engine designs are evolving to allow the use of even lower-viscosity oils without the risk of excessive metal-to-metal abrasion, principally in the cam and valve mechanism areas.

  5. Paint thinner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_thinner

    A paint thinner is a diluent solvent used to dilute oil-based paints or varnish. [1] [2] In this context, to dilute is also known as to 'thin'.

  6. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    This will result in another viscosity value if the fluid is a non-Newtonian fluid such as paint, but it will give the same viscosity value for a Newtonian fluid such as water, petroleum oil or gas. If another parameter like temperature, T {\displaystyle T} , is changed, and the experiment is repeated with the same force, a new value for ...

  7. Black Widow (paint mix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Widow_(paint_mix)

    Black Widow US is a projection screen paint mix version for US. The current recommendation for the new formulation is: 1 quart (946ml) of “Valspar Ultra Premium Super Flat Finish” tinted (Glidden "Veil") paint from Valspar. 8 oz (227ml) of New Formulation “Wicked Colors Aluminium Base Fine” (code: W355) paint from Createx Auto Air Colors.

  8. Paint mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_mixing

    Mixing pigments for the purpose of creating realistic paintings with diverse color gamuts is known to have been practiced at least since Ancient Greece.The identity of a/the set of minimal pigments to mix diverse gamuts has long been the subject of speculation by theorists whose claims have changed over time, for example Pliny's white, black, one or another red, and "sil", which might have ...

  9. Automotive paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_paint

    Automotive paint is paint used on automobiles for both protective and decorative purposes. [1] [2] Water-based acrylic polyurethane enamel paint is currently the most widely used paint for reasons including reducing paint's environmental impact. Modern automobile paint is applied in several layers, with a total thickness of around 100 μm (0.1mm).
