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 .
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. The additives that are incorporated into paints are a wide range of things which impart important effects on the properties of the paint and the final coating.
An oil drying agent, also known as siccative, is a coordination compound that accelerates the hardening of drying oils, often as they are used in oil-based paints.This so-called "drying" (actually a chemical reaction that produces an organic plastic) occurs through free-radical chemical crosslinking of the oils.
Many common phenomena can be attributed to autoxidation, such as food going rancid, [2] the 'drying' of varnishes and paints, and the perishing of rubber. [3] It is also an important concept in both industrial chemistry and biology. [4] Autoxidation is therefore a fairly broad term and can encompass examples of photooxygenation and catalytic ...
Fordite, also known as Detroit agate, Motor City agate, [1] paint rock, or paint slag, [2] is a lapidarist term for polished pieces of finely layered paint masses from automobile factories. The masses consist of automotive paint which has hardened sufficiently to be cut and polished.
Low-VOC paint types include latex (water-based), recycled latex (water-based), acrylic, and milk paint. [1] [2] The labels of paint cans can be checked for the following information: To be considered low-VOC, the paint should contain <50 g/L of VOC. [citation needed] To be considered zero-VOC, the paint should contain <5 g/L of VOC. [citation ...
A photo of the orange peel effect on a car door. Orange peel is a certain kind of finish that may develop on painted and cast surfaces. [1] The texture resembles the surface of the skin of an orange, hence the name "orange peel". Gloss paint sprayed on a smooth surface (such as the body of a car) should also dry into a smooth surface. However ...
Polyurea was originally developed in automotive applications in the 1980s [2] [3] but other applications such as protecting tabletop edges followed. [4] Its fast reactivity and relative moisture insensitivity made it useful for coatings on large surface area projects, such as secondary containment, manhole and tunnel coatings, tank liners, and ...
