Paint Technology: Chemistry and Performance

Paints provide a decorative and protective barrier on the surfaces and substrates they are applied to. Paint performance is influenced by the quality of the ingredients, and by specifying the correct product and finish for the application. This program discusses types of paint, components of paint, paint finishes, surface preparation, and a three-coat painting system.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• List the four components of paint, explaining the role they play in paint formulation, performance, application, durability, and environmental impact.
• Explain the impact of volume solids, paint weight, gloss and sheen, opacity, and thickness on paint performance.
• Specify correct paint products and application methods to ensure required performance and longevity of the paint or coating.
• Specify correct paint products and application methods to ensure required performance and longevity of the paint or coating.
