Paints and Varnishes


By
Engr. Dr. Attaullah Shah
Paints
 Uses:
 Preserve material
 Gives required color to surface applied.
 Aesthetics
 Oil Paints are most commonly used.
 Oil Paints:
 Following constituents:
 Base: Iron oxides, white lead, zinc oxide, red lead.
 Vehicle: Linseed oils (Pale yellow).

 Driers: Added to dry quickly and harder. Red lead.

 Thinner: To reduce viscosity of paints.

 Pigments, color or strains. Spirit of Turpentine

 Coloring pigments: To give the desired color


Preparation of Paint:
 The base ingredients are thoroughly ground in oil and
thinned by the addition of oil and turpentine.
 The pigments are separately mixed with oil and Turpentine
added to make it fluid.
 The two mixtures of base and pigments are added and
turpentine added to make it workable.
 The grinding of base is done with the grinding roller mill
 Before application of the paint, the surface is scrapped
cleaned.
 Ready Mixed Paints:
 Which have been mixed by the
Manufacturers.
 Burgers, Robbialic, ICI Dulux etc.
Proportioning of Ingredients of Paints
 It depends on the following factors:
 Nature of Material to be painted. Wood, Iron
 Types of Surface
 Nature and Appearance of the work
 Climatic conditions
 Skill of the painter
 Quality of ingredients.
 Nature of Coats applied.
 Anything else in your mind?
Aluminum Paints
 Finely ground Aluminum suspended in a
medium of slowly drying
 Costly and used for decorative purposes.
 Protects Irons and steels from corrosion.
 Used for painting marine works.
 Resists heat and good for radiators and
hot water pipes.
Water Paints
 The medium is water.
 Certain amount of glue added to form
emulsion.
 Used only for inferior works.
 For decoration of exterior works and
stucco surfaces.
Distempers
 Water paints having oil and water as thinning agent.
 Glue starch or Casein resin used as base together with
a pigment to suit the required color.
 For base whiting chalk is used as base.
 Distempers are used for application of interior works
except wood and iron.
 Oil bound distempers are used in the form of solid
pastes and thinned with water before use.
 Distempers are washable.
Varnishes
 Gives brilliance to the surface.
 Generally transparent
 Resins are dissolved in rapidly solvent such as
Turpentine, oil etc.
 Varnishes dry quickly and give hard surface to
protect them from harsh weather.
 Generally applied to wood, furniture and
building works.
 Sometimes used over paint work for shining.
Resins
 Obtained from natural gums of various trees. The
following resins are used for preparation of varnishes.
 Shellac: Obtained from the trees of pipal, generally
known as “Lakh”
 Amber: Yellow hard transparent durable substance
found between the beds of woods and coals.
 Copal or Gum Anime
 Kauri
 Dammar
