Distempers
Distemper paints are water-based paints that can be directly applied to a
cemented surface without a primer coating and still last several years. There are
three different types of distemper paints available in the market: Acrylic,
Synthetic, and UNO Acrylic, which all have their unique benefits.
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.
The resin is the film film forming component that identifies the paint.
Extenders are paint additives that are insoluble in the binder and solvents of the
formula and have little or no opacity or color effect on the film. They are added to
modify the flow and mechanical properties of the paint as well as the, permeability,
gloss, and leveling characteristics of the paint film.
Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that, after application to
a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film.
Components of paint include:
1)Resin (Binder) 2)Pigments 3)Solvent 4)Additives

n the coatings and plastic fields, the term “acrylic” resin applies to the polymers and
copolymers of the esters of methacrylic and acrylic acids. Copolymers of these esters

with nonacrylicmonomers such as styrene, butadiene, or vinyl acetate are alsoreferred
to as acrylic resins.
Enamel paint is paint that air-dries to a hard, usually glossy, finish, used for coating
surfaces that are outdoors or otherwise subject to hard wear or variations in temperature; it
should not be confused with decorated objects in "painted enamel", where
vitreous enamel is applied with brushes and fired in a kiln.
