Physicochemical Analyses of White Emulsion and White Gloss Paints

Abstract

White emulsion and white gloss paints were formulated using the basic paint ingredient such as polyvinyl acetate (binder), Solvent (water in the case of water-based paint and kerosene in the case of oil-based paint), Pigment and Additives. The physicochemical analyses (Viscosity, pH, Binding strength, Opacity, Specific gravity and Density) of the paints produced were carried out and results of the analyses were carefully recorded. The results revealed that the paints could be used as both indoor and outdoor coatings that could have good value for money and long durability.
