Coating

Raw materials, which are the main components used in the production of paints, determine the quality, properties and intended use of the paint. Pigments are the basic components that provide the color of the paint and directly affect the permanence and covering power of the colors. In addition to pigments obtained from natural sources, there are also pigments produced synthetically in a laboratory environment. Commonly used pigments include titanium dioxide in white, chromium oxide in green, and iron oxide in red.

Solvents are used to thin the paint and make it more easily applicable. Mineral spirit, turpentine, and synthetic solvents are common in oil-based paints. In water-based paints, water is used as a solvent. Additionally, dry ingredients are also included in the formulas to strengthen the different properties of the paint. For example, while mattifiers give the surface a matte appearance; Additives such as fillers, gloss enhancers and driers are also commonly preferred.
