2. Sealcoat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealcoat

   Asphalt-based sealer typically offers poor protection against environmental, chemical and harsher climates (salt water). Petroleum-based sealer offer protection against water and chemicals somewhere between the other two sealers. Another difference between coatings is in terms of wear. Again, refined tar-based sealer offers the best wear ...

3. Waterborne resins - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterborne_resins

   Most coatings have four basic components. These are the resin, solvent, pigment and additive systems [5] but the resin or binder is the key ingredient. Continuing environmental legislation in many countries along with geopolitics such as oil production are ensuring that chemists are increasingly turning to waterborne technology for paint/coatings and since resins or binders are the most ...

4. Conservation and restoration of panel paintings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

   High Humidity reduces mechanical damage such as brittle paint but raises the risks of biological organisms, e.g. white efflorescence and green-to-black stains on a panel painting. [12] High Humidity also raises the risks of curving or warping of the wood over time, forcing the paint to flake off.

5. Pitch (resin) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_(resin)

   Pitch produced from petroleum may be called bitumen or asphalt, while plant-derived pitch, a resin, is known as rosin in its solid form. Tar is sometimes used interchangeably with pitch, but generally refers to a more liquid substance derived from coal production, including coal tar , or from plants, as in pine tar .

   ASTM D226 / D226M Standard — 09: Specification for Asphalt-Saturated Organic Felt Used in Roofing and Waterproofing. [7] Type I - #15 or 15 lb. perforated or non-perforated; Type II - #30 or 30 lb. perforated or non-perforated; ASTM D4869 / D4869M Standard — Specification for Asphalt-Saturated Organic Felt Underlayment Used in Steep Slope ...

8. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

   Tung oil has been used for hundreds of years in China, where it was used as a preservative for wood ships. The oil penetrates the wood, and then hardens to form an impermeable hydrophobic layer up to 5 mm into the wood. As a preservative it is effective for exterior work above and below ground, but the thin layer makes it less useful in practice.

9. 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 ...
