PAINT DESCRIPTION

These slow drying primers release volatile organic compounds in the air and require mineral spirits
for cleanup and thinning. They produce a very smooth finish that does the best job of filling pores
in bare wood while not raising the grain. Oil primers also provide a good barrier to keep tannins
from certain woods from bleeding through.

A preparatory coating put on materials before applying the paint itself. The primed surface ensures
better adhesion of the paint, thereby increasing the durability of the paint and providing improved
protection for the painted surface. Suitable primers also may block and seal stains, or hide a color
that is to be painted over.

This primer is also useful on a wide variety of surfaces, with the added benefit that it is designed
to seal in many types of stains, such as water, nicotine, crayons, wallpaper, and wood tannins. They
are also fairly inexpensive and are fast drying.

This type of primer is excellent for both interior and exterior unpainted wood surfaces. It needs a
lot of time to soak into the wood, and thus it dries slowly. For woods that are very porous, you may
need to apply two coats.

This type of primer is used for surfaces that will be painted with an enamel paint finish.
Traditionally, this includes most of the interior woodwork, such as the doors, trim, baseboards, and
casings. It dries very quickly and requires two coats before sanding.

Universal primer for metals. Usually quick drying.Rust inhibitive

is a rust inhibiting primer for steel and iron surfaces. It is particularly good for metal shops who
deliver metal products coated with a shop primer to protect them from rust corrosion until such
time as they are finished with desired topcoat.

A water-based paint used to seal fiberboard and wood. The paint prepares the surface for paint
application. If for example, one is painting with oil paint, a primer is needed to prevent the oil in
the paint from seeping into the surface of a canvas or board.

These are specifically designed to protect the finish from lime burn, discoloration, and
efflorescence. They are used for properly cured, unpainted, or new, concrete, masonry, stucco and
plaster surfaces.

These primers are specifically for new or unpainted concrete blocks. They can be used on both
smooth or split face concrete blocks.
Shellac-based primers are fast drying and use denatured alcohol for thinning and cleanup. Though
smelly and difficult to use, they are excellent at blocking stains and preventing bleed through.

This type is perfect for surfaces with stains or imperfections. A polyurethane primer provides a
strong grip for paint on concrete surfaces and is very resistant to damage.

a rust inhibiting primer for steel and iron surfaces. It is particularly good for metal shops who
deliver metal products coated with a shop primer to protect them from rust corrosion until such
time as they are finished with desired topcoat.

A nitrocellulose lacquer type sealer with excellent holdout properties that provide
good foundation for the desired lacquer topcoat.

A two-component, epoxy-polyamide system that has exceptional adhesion to practically any


surface including steel tanks, coastal installations, galvanized iron, pipelines, aluminum, structural
steel, etc. Has excellent corrosion resistance and sealing properties. Highly alkali-resistant so there
is no need for neutralization of new concrete.

PAINT DESCRIPTION

A paint in which the vehicle is a drying oil.

an opaque or semitransparent glassy substance applied to metallic or other hard surfaces for
ornament or as a protective coating.

A type of paint used for walls, consisting of pigment bound in synthetic latex that forms an
emulsion with water.

Two part epoxy coatings were developed for heavy duty service on metal substrates and use less
energy than heat-cured powder coatings. These systems provide a tough, protective coating with
excellent hardness. Some epoxy coatings are formulated as an emulsion in water, and can be
cleaned up without solvents. They are often used in industrial and automotive applications since
they are more heat resistant than latex-based and alkyd-based paints. Epoxy paints tend to
deteriorate, known as "chalking out", due to UV exposure.

also called polychromatic is a type of paint that is commonly used on new automobiles. Metallic
paint can reveal the contours of bodywork more than non-metallic, or "solid" paint. Close-up, the
small metal flakes included in the paint create a sparklingeffect. This should not be confused with
metal flake paint.

Advantages of water-based paints

low VOCs (low levels of toxic emissions)


easy cleanup with water
quick drying
an elastic, flexible finish resistant to cracking
stable color over time, without yellowing

Advantages of oil-based paints

PAINT DESCRIPTION

A flat finish is opaque and sophisticated. It works great on interior walls and ceilings. As the least
shiny finish available, it doesn't clean well and isn’t suited for kitchens, baths, or children’s
bedrooms. If you have kids, choose carefully. The only way to get rid of fingerprints and scribbles
on a flat-finish wall is to paint over them.

Generally similar to flat finish, but such paints commonly offer superiority washability and
coverage.

An eggshell finish is often used for decorative finishes because it provides a low luster. It cleans up
better than a flat finish, but probably not as well as you would want in a kitchen or bathroom.

The most popular paint sheen is a satin finish. It has more sheen than eggshell or satin and cleans
better too. This finish is a good choice for woodwork, walls, doors, and hallways. It's also great for
bedrooms and dining rooms.Satin is washable but it isn’t scrubbable, so you probably don't want
to use it around your toddler's craft table.

A semi-gloss paint will give your room a subtle shine. It’s scrubbable and good for moldings, doors,
windows, kitchens, and baths.

A high-gloss finish has a shiny, polished look. It’s also stain resistant and very scrubbable, which
makes it a good choice for the areas of a home that get the most wear and tear, such as kitchens
and baths. Food splatter or even crayon marks will clean up easily on a high-gloss finish.

Synthetic resins such as phenolic resin may be employed as a secondary component in certain varnishes and paints.

PAINT DESCRIPTION

is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through the surface or joints or openings in
materials, a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous
with caulking and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission. Sealants
may be weak or strong, flexible or rigid, permanent or temporary. Sealants are not adhesives but
some have adhesive qualities and are calledadhesive-sealants or structural sealants.

are a group of related thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substances derived from acrylic acid,
methacrylic acid or other related compounds. Polymethyl acrylate is an acrylic resin used in an
emulsified form for lacquer, textile finishes, adhesives and, when mixed with clay, to gloss paper.
Another acrylic resin is polymethyl methacrylate, which is used to make hard plastics with various
light transmitting properties.

Acoustic sealant is made of soundproof latex adhesive that is initially in a semi-liquid form during
application and dries in a rubbery state.

A synthetic rubber, a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene. The abbreviation IIR stands for
isobutylene isoprene rubber.

A sealant made of a flexible material in a plastic state during forming or application. A common
elastomeric sealant, polysulfide, is a high-performance type, made of either
polysulfide polymer or rubber.

Epoxy sealers form a high-build protective film on the concrete surface, producing a hard, long-
wearing, abrasion-resistant finish. They also offer excellent water repellence. They are available
clear or pigmented, if you wish to add color. Most products impart a glossy finish. Epoxy sealers
are much harder than acrylics. Water-based epoxies bond well to concrete and provide a clear
finish, but they are nonporous and do not allow trapped moisture to escape. Epoxies are probably
the best choice for concrete countertops and food-preparation areas.

Latex sealants are water-based, easy to tool, easy to clean up, paintable, and relatively less
expensive than other types of sealants. Some premium latex sealants may be appropriate for
exterior use (appropriate service life) and are rated for movement in classes 12½ and 25.

Acrylic sealants are also paintable but are solvent-based and more difficult to tool. They are used
more in commercial and exterior applications than latex and have very limited movement capacity
(Class 7½).

Polysulfide sealants are particularly water- and chemical-resistant but do not tolerate much cyclic
movement for a high-performance sealant (Class 12½ –25).

Silicone sealants are used in a wide variety of building applications because of strong performance
characteristics: UV resistance, temperature resistance, highest movement capability (Class 50–
100), generally longer service life, and continued flexibility over time. Silicone sealants can have a
strong odor and take considerable time to fully cure.

Polyurethane sealants are tough—even abrasion-resistant. Unlike silicone sealants, they can be
painted. They have excellent adhesion and good movement capability (Class 12½, 25, and 50).
Fast-Drying

Hybrids are relative newcomers to the sealant world; they have chains (silyl) that modify both
silicone and polyurethane sealants (MS stands for silyl-modified), combining some of the strengths
of each. Their chemical profiles are better because they are solvent- and isocyanate-free

Since asphalt is a petroleum based product, other petroleum products may react with the surface.
This includes vehicle oil and gasoline. The sealcoat may act as a temporary barrier against those
materials. A sealcoat is not a crack filling agent; this must be done prior to applying the sealcoat.
sealcoating may reduce the friction or anti-skid properties associated with the exposed aggregates
in asphalt.

Is the application of a surface treatment to products constructed of natural stone to retard staining
and corrosion. All bulk natural stone is riddled with interconnected capillary channels that permit
penetration by liquids and gases. This is true forigneous rock types such
as granite and basalt, metamorphic rocks such as marble and slate, and sedimentary rocks such
as limestone, travertine, and sandstone. These porous channels act like a sponge, and capillary
action draws in liquids over time, along with any dissolved salts and other solutes. Very porous
stone, such as sandstone absorb liquids relatively quickly, while denser igneous stones such as
granite are significantly less porous; they absorb smaller volumes, and more slowly, especially
when absorbing viscousliquids.
Generally made from polyurethanes, acrylics, or natural wax. These sealers may be effective at
stopping stains but, being exposed on the surface of the material, they tend to wear out relatively
quickly, especially on high-traffic areas of flooring. This type of sealer will significantly change the
look and slip resistance of the surface, especially when it is wet. These sealers are not breathable
i.e. do not allow the escape of water vapour and other gases, and are not effective against salt
attack, such as efflorescence andspalling.

The most penetrating sealers use siliconates, fluoro-polymers and siloxanes, which repel liquids.
These sealers penetrate the surface of the stone enough to anchor the material to the surface.
They are generally longer lasting than topical sealers and often do not substantially alter the look
of the stone, but still can change the slip characteristics of the surface and do wear relatively
quickly. Penetrating sealers often require the use of special cleaners which both clean and top up
the repellent ingredient left on the stone surface. These sealers are often breathable to a certain
degree, but do not penetrate deeply enough (generally less than 1mm) to be effective against salt
attack, such as efflorescence and spalling.

Uses silanes or modified silanes. These are a type of penetrating sealer, which penetrate deeply
into the material, impregnating it with molecules which bond to the capillary pores and repels
water and / or oils from within the material. Some modified silane sealers impregnate deeply
enough to protect against salt attack, such as efflorescence, spalling, picture framing and freeze-
thaw spalling. Some silane stone sealers based on nanotechnology claim to be resistant to UV light
and higher pH levels found in new masonry and pointing. A good depth of penetration is also
essential for protection from weathering and traffic.
APPLICATION

A sealant may be viscous material that has little or no flow characteristics and which stay where
they are applied; or they can be thin and runny so as to allow it to penetrate the substrate by
means of capillary action. Anaerobic acrylic sealants (generally referred to as impregnants) are the
most desirable, as they are required to cure in the absence of air, unlike surface sealants that
require air as part of the cure mechanism that changes state to become solid, once applied, and is
used to prevent the penetration of air, gas, noise, dust, fire, smoke, or liquid from one location
through a barrier into another. Typically, sealants are used to close small openings that are difficult
to shut with other materials, such as concrete, drywall, etc. Desirable properties of sealants
include insolubility,corrosion resistance, and adhesion. Uses of sealants vary widely and sealants
are used in many industries, for example, construction, automotive and aerospace industries.

Exterior surfaces, to provide good protection against water and chloride intrusion
Decorative interior floors, to protect the surface and enhance the color
Fast-track projects, since they dry to the touch within an hour

The sealant should be liberally applied wherever there is a joint between two soundproofing
materials, such as the seams between adjacent drywall panels, or at the joints between walls and
the floor or ceiling. Also use it around electrical boxes, recessed lighting, windows,
and doors. Finishing elements such as plates and molding are installed after the sealant is applied.
Tape and spackle can also be applied over the sealant.
