  2. Watching paint dry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watching_paint_dry

    Observing the process of paint drying has been found to be important in the development of modern environmentally friendly water-based paint, replacing earlier solvent-derived paints and coatings. The drying process is observed in order to better understand how aqueous material dries on the surface being painted, and forms a protective layer ...

  3. Acrylic paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_paint

    Most acrylic paints are water-based, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor, a gouache, or an oil painting, or it may have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Sherwin-Williams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwin-Williams

    In the 1940s, Sherwin-Williams introduced Kem-Tone, a water-based fast-drying interior paint. [4] In 1996, the American Chemical Society named the product a National Historic Chemical Landmark. [13] [14] In 2016, the first paint registered as microbicidal with the United States Environmental Protection Agency was brought to market by Sherwin ...

  8. Casein paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casein_paint

    One of the qualities for which artists value casein paint is that unlike gouache, it dries to an even consistency, making it ideal for murals. Also, it can visually resemble oil painting more than most other water-based paints, and works well as an underpainting. Casein paint loses its solubility with time and exposure and becomes water-resistant.

  9. Silicate mineral paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral_paint

    The binder is a combination of silica sol and water glass. The organic fraction is limited to 5 mass percent similar to dispersion silicate paint allowing for chemical setting and retaining of the silicate specific advantages. The sol silicate paint allows use on non-mineral plaster. [4] For these the bonding occurs chemically and physically.
