Project Title

PROJECT TITLE Synthesis and characterization of weather resistant coating Introduction Paint is a fluid that dries to form a continuous solid film when spread over a surface or substrate. Depending on its type and properties, paint can perform one or more functions. A paint system is basically composed of primer/sealer, undercoat and topcoat. Synthesis of weather proof coating The synthesis will require the following chemicals: 1. Thickeners • Nitrosole • Thiloze • Pyrole • Mergal 1. Foamer • NH3 1. Pigments • Alumanium silicate • Microdol • China clay • Microle 1. Binder • Acrylic • Texanol • Methyl ethyl glycol 1. Perfumes
