HISTORY OF PAINT
38,000 B.C., people used paint made from soot, earth, and animal fat to
adorn the walls of their caves
ancient Egyptian society (3150-31 B.C.), painters mixed ground glass or
semiprecious stones, lead, earth, or animal blood with oil or fat.
end of the 1200s, English house painters formed guilds to protect trade
secrets and standardize their craft.
1600s and 1800s, most house paint used either oil or water as a base.
In the 18th century, England was a hive of paint innovation.
Around 1800s, white pigment made with nontoxic zinc oxide a viable
alternative to poisonous lead was invented in Europe.
Later in the 19th century, paint manufacturers began employing roller mills,
like those used to process grain, and English painters guilds became trade
unions.
In 1866, Sherwin-Williams, which would become one of the largest global
paint makers, opened for business. The company invented ready-to-use paint,
releasing its first product, raw umber in oil, in 1873.
In 1982, Benjamin Moore innovated computerized color-matching system
Currently most paint companies sell low- and zero-VOC paints.
COMPONENTS OF
PAINT
1. BINDER
holds the pigment to a surface
It is responsible for providing
adhesion and also gives the
paint resistance properties which
make the final coating tough and
durable.
2. Diluent or Solvent
the main purposes of the
diluent are to dissolve the
polymer and adjust
theviscosity of the paint.
3. Pigment
Pigments are granular solids
incorporated in the paint to
contribute color.
4. Additives
are usually added in small
amounts, yet provide a
significant effect on the
product.
When certain properties
need to be manipulated or
enhanced, additives are
