Abstract
Paints are used to protect and prolong the life of natural and synthetic materials as it acts as a barrier against environmental conditions. Paints contain extenders, solvents, pigments, binders, and some additives. The objective is to improve some physical properties of the current matt paint formulation. The contents of acrylic white matt emulsion paint are known to be 25%Pigments, 12% Extender pigments, 5% Additives, 44% Solvents, and 14% Binders. [2]. Binders are matrices and are used to hold the pigment in place. Extenders have larger pigment particles to improve adhesion and to strengthen the film and save the binder. Pigments are used to give color and opacity to the paint. Solvent can be either organic solvent or water and is used a thinner and to dissolve paint components and make it uniform. Additives are commonly used to improve properties of the paint.
