    Figure 4: Evolution in time of storage modulus G' and loss modulus G" during a curing reaction. A simple way to monitor the change in viscosity, and thus, the extent of the reaction, in a curing process is to measure the variation of the elastic modulus. [7] To measure the elastic modulus of a system during curing, a rheometer can be used. [7]

    There is solvent-based and water-based. Solvent-based acrylic paints are soluble in mineral spirits, and water-based acrylic paints are water-soluble. Acrylic paint differs from oil paint in both its quick drying time, and how the paint dries. Acrylic paint dries in as little as thirty minutes, and dries by the evaporation of the solvent or ...

    Urine-repellent paint is a very hydrophobic (water-repellent) paint. It has been used by cities and other property owners to deter men from urinating against walls, as the urine splashes back on their shoes, instead of dripping down the wall. [42] [43] [44] Anti-climb paint is a non-drying paint that appears normal but is extremely slippery. It ...

  5. Drying oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil

    The "drying", hardening, or, more properly, curing of oils is the result of autoxidation, the addition of oxygen to an organic compound, and the subsequent crosslinking.. This process begins with an oxygen molecule (O 2) in the air inserted into carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds adjacent to one of the double bonds within the unsaturated fatty

  6. Powder coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating

    Heat-sensitive carbon fiber tubes coated with a UV curable powder coating. Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.

  7. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    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.

  8. Alkyd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyd

    Alkyd resins may be classified as drying (including semi drying) and nondrying. Both types are typically produced from dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides, such as phthalic anhydride or maleic anhydride, and polyols, such as trimethylolpropane, glycerine, or pentaerythritol. [5] Alkyds are a synthetic resin and used in items such as paints.

  9. Primer (paint) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(paint)

    Wood is very porous and will absorb the solvent in paint and cause it to dry more quickly. This is undesirable because most paints undergo chemical reactions during the process of curing (for example, latex- and alkyd-based paints polymerise when curing) which is dependent on the water or solvent evaporating slowly.
