Introduction of chemical
These are the chemical to be used in the production of emulsion
paint<br />
1. Water
2. Titherni (used only for the production of white paint)
3. Calcium carbonate (Calcium)
4. Colourite
5. P.V.A
6. Formalin
7. Nitrosol
8. Ammonia
9. Hydrosol
10. Marble dust
11. Acrydext
Others include
12. Geniple
13. K14
14. Bama cork
For emulsion
Step 1.
Mix Calcuim Carbonate in water
For one bucket production (hence we shall be referring to bucket
of paint i.e. normal -- litres of paint as drum), pour water in the
bucket up to half (-- liters of water) you can always increase the
volume of water at any stage if necessary. Add less than half bag
of Calcuim (add until the mixture rises to about 17 liters in the
bucket) by now the drum will be quarter empty. NOTE; if you are
producing white paint, you will mix titherni in water before adding
calcium. -- spoons of titherni are enough. MIX VERY WELL.
Step 2:
Add your colour. It is assumed that by now you must have diluted
the colours as required with water if they are oxide. Now put
colour in small rations and keep turning until you get your desired
result. You can always add more if you like. Suppose you added
more yellow for example, than you need, you can correct it by
adding more calcium (but not after this stage) Bear in mind that
the colour may be deeper when wet and lighter when the paint is
dried.
Step 3
Add --kg of P.V.A to the mixture. After turning add half glass cup
of nitrosol. Nitrosol is always in powdery form so you must dilute it
in small water before you add to your mixture.
Next add about -- centiliter of formalin and about same volume for
ammonia and hydrosol sequentially. Turn very well at any addition
of a new chemical.
Final step
When you have completed the above steps, make sure that you
turn the above mixture very well. As you are turning it you might
be a little fidgeted that you have wasted your resources. You don’t
need to be afraid. Just add acrytext to the mixture and turn. Add it
in small quantity until you get the thickness you desire. However if
you add access you might spoil your mixture. Now that you paint
is ready, just take your scraper, brush and roller and roll away
your newly built house.
Warning: please the chemicals must be added in the order I have
given you. If not you may have problem for example if you put
ammonia before Nitrosol, the paint will get blocked. And again if
ammonia drops in Nitrosol, the Nitrosol will block. More so, when
formalin is poured into ammonia it will explode. The only time you
can add ammonia before Nitrosol is when you are turning on
machine speed. Just be careful.
Production of Textcoat
For 1 drum of textcoat
Step 1:
Pour about -- liters of water into the bucket, add -- bag of Calcuim
(or less) then add your colours as it is supposed to be.
Step 2: now after turning the mixture above, you add marble dust(
I hope you remember what we said about marble dust above).
Good. You will notice that some textcoat paints have a kind of
lining and some has only rough surface. And there are those that
we call designer textcoat such are the once that they use with the
aid of a special roller to design houses so that its end effect will
be something like flowers or blocks made of paint in your house.
Am sure you must have seen such paint. It is called artwork in the
painting industry. All these are textcoat but it is the mode of
application of this chemical that makes different types.
For rough textcoats use only rough marble dust in your production
For lining textcoats use a combination of rough and smooth
marble dust in equal ratio( if you are producing this one I will
advice you add smooth marble dust first after turning add the
rough one)
For artwork textcoats use only smooth marble dust in production.
Now as you are adding the marble dust, you will notice that the
volume of your mixture is increasing. Just add according to your
own discretion it has no specific measurement. If you are
confused on the quantity to add, just keep adding until the drum is
-- empty. Use your initiative. Please do not use only smooth
marble dust for production unless you are producing artwork that
needs a designer roller.
Step 3: when you are through with turning of this mixture (turn
very well), you will now add your P.V.A. and other chemicals like
we said in emulsion. However you will need to increase their
volume a little. For example you will need full glass cup of Nitrosol
and increase the volume of other chemicals a little. When you
have finish adding all the other chemical up to Hydrosol, you can
go and gym in order to activate your muscle for turning the paint
as you add Acrytext. On the addition of acritext the paint will
become strong. Now to know if the Acrytext you added is enough,
take a small portion of the paint and touch it on the wall. If the
teething is not falling congratulations if it is falling add more. Now
you can go and roll away your textcoat on your parlour.
