INTRODUCTION

          A pilot production plant for paint is
a chain une of pant production, from the design of the machine, the mixing of
the chemical to the packaging.  All is
aim at production of both (texcoat) and emulsion (water based paints) which are
basically classified as one of the two classes of paint.

PAINT CAN BE
CLASSIFIED INTO

–        GLOSS PAINTS (OIL BASED PAINTS)

          These are paints that may be classified according to
whether the drying mechanisms is predominantly solvent evaporation, oxidation
or some chemical reaction.  Gloss paints
which dry essentially by solvent evaporation, rely on a fairly hard resin as
the vehicle.  Paints which dry by
oxidation, the vehicle is usually an oil or an oil – based varnish, these
usually contain driers to accelerate the drying of the oil.  Paint based essentially on oil with suitable
pigment such as Titanium dioxide, extenders, and usually zinc – oxide and white
lead are conventional outside house paints because these materials give the
combination of the properties which meet this requirement.

–        EMULSION/TEXCOAT PAINTS (WATER – BASED
PAINTS)

          These are paints with water soluble vehicle and they
includes calcimines, in which the vehicle is glue an case in paints, in which
the vehicle is casein or soybean protein.

OBJECTIVES OF THE
RESEARCH WORK

          The objectives of the research project
work is to study the formulation, production of a low cost simple mixing
machine and the production of paints, both glass and emulsion in with the use
of local pigment and extenders as raw materials.  This is highly beneficial for small scale for
hence the cost of production is far reduced compared to paint produce by
industries using imported machines and materials.
