Primary Source that includes chemical descriptions and all the substances.

To strengthen our safety culture, achieve an injury-free workplace, and most importantly, "have all employees leave work in the same condition in which they arrived"

clean with warm water or water based cleaner

Do not clean up and shut off all power and evacuate

liquid part of paint, makes it spreadable and pour-able

Helps paint stick to surfaces, affects washability and resistance

Give paint its color, provides "hiding" properties. Makes paint opaque (difficult to see through). More pigment=harder to see through

Gives paint an enhanced performance ex. mildicide- resistance to mold and mildew

the ability of coatings to stick or bond to the underlying substrate

ability of a coating to withstand aggressive cleaning to remove dirt that may have penetrated into the paint film.

resistance to the growth of microbes, such as mold, mildew, bacteria

the thickness of paint in a can (how easy it is to pour a can)

The use of defoamers to prohibit bubbles from forming in the paint can when being shaken

the process of coating turning from a pliable state to a solid state throughout (not just dry)

Ease with which dirt is released form the painted surface without penetrating into the film

the formulation of a coating to resist the paint film to flow downward and become thicker in spots on vertical surfaces.

the ability of coatings to hold up against weather, air, pollution, sunlight, and still look good. (relates to scrubability)`

act og putting a coating onto a surface by various means: spray, brush, roller...

Numerical value associated with the amount of light reflected off a dry coat. Gloss meter to measure, important for vinyl siding

quality of a paint finish that describes how shiny or dull it it. (gloss, semi-gloss, egg shell, satin, flat)

tendency of a painted surface to stick to another surface with which it is in contact

drops of paint that are thrown all over during roller application. To fix, thickeners may be added to the coating during manufacturing.

ability of the coating to hide the underlying surface or previous coating

ability of a film to flow out free from ripples, pock marks, orange peel, brush marks, runs or sags.

Estimating the amount of paint you need for an area (square feet per gallon)

the surface being covered/coated

to break a liquid into a mist or droplets. Spray guns atomize paint by forcing the paint through a small crifice under high pressure

helps paint stick to surfaces, affects washability, resistance to chemicals.

Damaging the coating (generally flats or low sheens) by abrading the surface. This usually shows as an area of higher sheen

Accounting the cures as a result of a chemical reaction. Ex. two part epoxy where a hardener must be added to obtain the required results.

A pliable and elastic material that can withstand expansion and contraction. Fills cracks, and seems to prevent air or water infiltration. May be called a sealant. May or may not be paintable.

The formation of a loose, powdery, material on the surface of a paint film, generally caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Degrading of a paint film by gradual erosion of the binder

The decay, oxidation or deterioration of a substrate due to interaction with the environment or chemical reaction

The failure of a paint or coating to slide off the brush or roller evenly and smoothly. The resistance of a coating when it is applied with a brush.

a broad classification of free flowing pigmented finishing materials that dry to a smooth, hard finish and usually possesses a gloss

coating produced by a combo of epoxy resin with a curing agent. Solvent evaporation causes surfaces to dry, copolymerization is the curing mechanism. Mixture has a limited time to work called "pot life". Good for walls and floors. Highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and cleaning. Good durability, low odor, and can be used on conventional paints on interior applications

The use of a chemical solution to prepare a surface for painting or bonding by removing a layer of the base metal.

A substance easily ignited in the presence of a flame, any liquid having a flash point below 100 degrees F

Lowest temp. at which a substance in an open vessel gives off enough vapors to produce a flash of fire when a flame is passed near the surface

Putty used to set glass in window frames and to fill nail holes and cracks

to apply or place one coat so its edge extends over and covers the edge of a previous coat, causing increased film thickness

Complex synthetic resins (acrylic or vinyl acrylic). Dry by evaporation of water and allow the particles to fuse together. Excellent adhesion, color and gloss retention. Long term flexibility and toughness. Easy application and cleanup. Protect from frezzing of 50 degrees F or so.

One one-thousandth of an inch, 0.001 inches. Commonly used to denote coating thickness.

a first coating on a bare substrate or a barrier coating between coats

Solid or semi-solid organic substance usually derived from the sap of trees or by chemical. Used for varnishes, lacquers, and similar coatings.

Uneven flow or leveling of paint resulting in sags. Caused by applying too much paint at one spot or spray painting too close to surface.

Any finishing material that is applied with the primary purpose of stopping the absorption of succeeding coats.

Coatings that contain an isocyanate complex. They form tough, hard, flexible, chemical resistant films by one of two methods: Moisture curing or copolymerization. Often used over epoxy primers, used for bridges, water waste facilities.

Transparent or translucent liquid as a thin film dries on exposure to air to a continuous film. Decorative/protective film. Consists of resins, vegetable oils, driers, and solvent or thinner.

Organic chemical compounds that evaporate at room temp. under normal indoor temp. so that large numbers of VOC molecules readily enter the air. Ingredient used commonly in just about every indoor setting. Too high VOC is bad to our health.

The % by volume of non-evaporating material in a coating
