Using Solvents

Solvents work by giving the paint the proper consistency. They keep the ingredients in a liquid form. They also act as a "carrier" for the binders and pigments. Oil-based paints use thinner as a solvent(petrochemical distillate). They are the most hazardous because the solvents are toxic and flammable. Latex and acrylic paints use water as the primary solvent making them much less hazardous.

Binders

Binders are one ingredient that is absolutely required. The binder is the part which eventually solidifies to form the dried paint film. Typical binders include synthetic or natural resins such as acrylics, oils, polyesters, melamines, polyurethanes, or latex. Linseed oil, alkyd resins, or tung oil are the primary binders for oil-base paints and 100% acrylic or vinyl acrylic are the binders for water-base paint.

Addtional, there are other additives that help make paint of higher quality. The additives can make the paint flow better, reduce bubbles, control consistency, and control thickness, transparency, sheen, drying time, absorption rate. Keeping it in mind that high quality paints also contain mildew inhibitors and ingredients that minimize splattering and running.

Always remember that to use a paint of good quality will make the surface more abrasion-resistant, easier to clean, durable, long lasting and capable of washing without the risk of removing any of the paint. High quality paint is definitely a great investment.

Using Quality Paint

When it comes to painting, about 93% percent of a good paint job is in the preparation. This, however, doesn’t mean that the other 7% should be ignored. Preparation gets the surface ready for paint, but if the paint isn’t of good quality then it will soon fall apart from cracking, peeling and chipping. The quality of the paint, therefore, is vital to a good, long lasting paint job. Furthermore, the more you know about what makes good paint good will improve the chance that the job will be a good one.

Paint contains three main ingredients: pigment, solvent and binders. The pigment provides the texture, color and the hiding properties of the paint. Titanium dioxide and iron oxides are pigments that are used in better quality paints. Also you will find clay and silica being used, but these pigments don't hold up as well. The texture of the paint is a good way to determine if it’s of good quality or not. Cheaper pigment materials, such as clay and silica, cannot be ground as finely as the better ones.

A very simple way to test whether paint is of good quality or not. It is sometimes referred to as the touch test. Once you have selected a paint product and shook it well, you should then remove the lid and put your index finger and thumb into the paint. Then rub the paint between the tips of your fingers. If it feels gritty then it probably contains a inexpensive pigment or a lot of cheap filler such as clay. Quality paint will feel smooth and silky. http://www.MichaelOsheaPainting.com
