(ii) It prevents decay of wood and corrosion in metal. (ii) It is used to give good appearance to the surface.

A cellulo; hardens by evaporation of thinning agent. It thus hardens quickly. It is more costly, but it presents a flexible, hard and smooth surface. Also, the painted with cellulose paint can be washed and easily cleaned. The cellul is not affected by contact with hot water and the surface can stand extreme d of cold and heat. i (6) Gement paint: This paint consists of white cement, pigment, accelerator other additives. It is available in dry powder form. The cement paint is ay in variety of shades and it exhibits excellent decorative appearance. It is proof and durable, It proves to be useful for surfaces which are damp at of painting or are likely to become damp after painting. For external cement-plastered walls, it is mixed with water immediately before its appl It is desirable to provide cement paint on rough surface rather than on smog surface because its adhesion power is poor on smoothly finished surface, For painting surfaces like corrugated iron sheets, ete., the cement paint is mis with boiled linseed oil. The mixture is constantly stirred during use. 5 The cement paint is applied in two coats. Before the first coat is applied surfaces are wetted to even and control suction and to assist the hardening pr of the cement paint. It should however be seen that there is no presence of water on the surface when the paint is applied. The application of paint over surface exposed directly to hot sunlight should be avoided. Otherwise the coati will dry before it is cured and will become chalky. } The second coat is applied not less than 24 hours after the first c it considerably helps in improving the appearance of the surface. For t countries, the rewetting of surface before the application of second coat is necessary, It is also essential to keep the surface wet after the final coat for a 2 days by frequent splashing of water to get the best performance. The ap} of cement paints during freezing weather should be avoided. is Following are the advantages of cement paints: (i) It requires less skill and time for applying cement water paints applying implements can be cleaned with water only. (i) The preparation of surfaces is easier in a cement paint sys not necessary to remove the previous coats of cement paints.
