ADDITIVES

ONE OF THE MAJOR INGREDIENTS OF A PAINT FORMULATION IS THE ADDITIVE WHICH IS USED TO: (1) SPEED UP PRODUCTION AND DEVELOP FULL VALUE FROM THE INGREDIENTS USED, (2) INSURE THAT COATINGS WILL NOT DEGRADE UPON PROLONGED SHELF STORAGE, (3) PRODUCE COATINGS WHICH CAN BE EASILY APPLIED AND DRY IN A REASONABLE TIME, FREE FROM DEFECTS, (4) IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE DRIED FILM, (5) INCREASE SERVICE LIFE AND PREVENT PREMATURE FILM FAILURE, AND (6) PROVIDE CORRECTIVE MEASURES IF PROBLEMS ARISE EITHER IN MANUFACTURE, STORAGE, OR APPLICATION OF THE COATING. VARIOUS DRIERS, SLIP AGENTS, VINYL STABILIZERS, MILDEW INHIBITORS, AND ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT ABSORBERS ARE DISCUSSED. TYPICAL FORMULATIONS ARE PRESENTED WHICH SERVE TO DEMONSTRATE THE VARIETY AND CONCENTRATION OF MANY OF THE SOLVENTS AND ADDITIVES DISCUSSED.
