What is Paint.
Paint is a liquid material which, when applied on substrate, turns into a solid. Its main constituents are the binder and pigment (and fillers). In its liquid form the binder is usually diluted by a solvent to render the paint fit for application. The combination of binder and solvent is called the vehicle.
Paint can be divided into two main groups according to their solidification or film formation which may be either a physical or a chemical process:
Physical film formation:
This mechanism can also be described as evaporation drying.
Chemical film formation:
This process is divided in to two different sub groups:
Oxidative drying
Chemical drying
