MATERIALS
• UNDER COATS
• LINSEED OIL, WHITE LEAD(TINTED IF
REQUIRED) AND HAS A HIGH QUALITY
DRYING OIL.
• FINISHING COATS
• OIL VARNISH, PIGMENTS OF DESIRED COLOUR
AND PERHAPS EXTENDERS, AND THINNERRS;
FINISHES VARY FROM FLAT TO OIL-GLOSS.
SYNTHETIC
PAINTS
OIL VARNISH
• They contain linseed oil or other drying oils,
dryers, synthetic or natural resins and solvents
such as white spirit or turpentine.
• They dry by evaporation of the solvent and
oxidation of the oil.
• The relative proportions of the oil and the resins
control the usage, if the oil is predominant a more
elastic varnish reserved for external work.
• If the solvent is the major ingredient a high gloss,
which dries out rapidly, is obtained for internal
work.
• Copal varnish is a good quality type.
SPIRIT VARNISH
• Spirit varnish is a solutions of shellac and spirit
resins dissolved in commercial
alcohol(methylated spirits).
• The are only suitable for internals surfaces like
furniture(e.g. in French polishing).
• Polyurethane varnish is a type of resin varnish
producing a very durable finish.
• Its cost is RS- 230/kg
WATER
PAINTS(DISTEMPER)
• Water paint also known as DISTEMPERS.
• They are used mainly on internal walls and ceilings
and most of them give a flat finish.
• There are several kinds are prepared on the site by
adding water to
make a paste.
• They have a drying oil or varnish medium
emulsified in water containing glue or other
fixatives.
• Bartyes is a common pigment along with
tinting pigment.
• The cheapest type known as soft or ceiling
distemper, contains only
a glue size vehicle and tinted powdered
chalk.
• It can be removed by washing or brushing and so
is only used for ceilings.
• Oil bound distemper is a better quality having a
mixture of linseed oil, pigment and extenders.
• It will withstand limited careful washing.
SPECIAL PAINTS
THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF SPECIAL PAINTS:
ALUMINIUM PAINTS :
1. These are often used as a primer on resinous woods like
Columbian and oregon pine because
they have a good sealing effect.
2. They contain aluminium powder in a quick drying
medium.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PAINTS:
3. These containing cork filler and whilst.
4. They are not a substitute for adequate ventilation( the
best safeguard against condensation).
5. They afford some relief by reducing the transfer of
heat.
BITUMINOUS PAINTS:
1. The vehicle for these is mostly bitumen.
2. They provide a cheap method of protecting steel
where appearance is secondary.
CHLORINATED RUBBER PAINTS:
6. This contains chlorinated rubber combined with
pigments and special thinner.
7. The paints offer good resistance to acids and alkalis
and can be used where fumes from these
chemicals arise.
3. They are suitable for internal use on brickwork,
concrete and steelwork.
FIRE-RESISTANT PAINTS:
• These are used to increase the resistance to fire
of wood and certain building boards.
• There are several proprietary types incorporating
ammonium phosphate.
FUNGICIDAL PAINTS:
• These include special ingredients which
render them resistance to mildew and other
fungoid attack, useful in humid surroundings.
HEAT-RESISTING PAINTS:
• They incorporate special varnishes and pigment
which do not discolour on heating.
TEXTURE PAINTS:
• These contain different powders and
pigments with glue.
• They used in a stiff consistency to make textured
surface on which patterns can be formed by brush or
special implements.
WOOD STAINS:
• It consists of various shades in oil, spirit or water
medium.
PAINTING TECHNIQUES
• BY BRUSH:
CRACKING: It starts
as fine hair cracks
and may turn to
flaking. It can be
due to lack of
elasticity in the
finishing coat or.
Unequal elasticity
between coats of a
paint containing
excessive driers.
Remedy is to repaint.
