Take you to know paints, coatings and resins in five minutes

Have you ever heard the nouns paint, paint, resin in your life? Whether they are confused, silly can not tell. After reading this article, you will find out the difference and meaning of the three nouns.
between paint and paint, resin can be listed as
coating ≥ paint > resin
Chinese
.
is the smallest unit of the three, as a base in paint and coating formulations, while coatings contain paints in the widest range.
first to understand the resin, natural resins are derived from the resin from plants, such as pine, amber, insect gum and so on, pure resin appearance is generally colorless transparent. In natural environments, due to the existence of many impurities, and affected by the sun and air oxidation, so the colors vary, most of the yellow or dark red-brown. Natural resins were limited by yield and performance and gradually gave way to synthetic resins for industrial production. Synthetic resin production is controllable, the performance is easy to adjust, and the purity is high, with the development of science and technology, more and more types of synthetic resin, its performance is constantly improving.

resin is widely used, thanks to its good physical and chemical properties, treated resin has excellent elasticity, insulation, water isolation, oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, pressure resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance and so on, from the initial crafts, to the later application to all aspects of human society. For example, there are umbrellas, gloves, clothes, soles and so on in the lives of residents. Cars on the road, submarines in the water, planes in the sky, rockets in space... But there are some problems, some of the resins are liquid, as thin as water; some are solid, as hard as stone; and some are semi-solid, soft, like rubber mud. Problems can arise when stored or used. Plus when the resin is used alone, a lot of performance does not go up, performance is greatly reduced. Therefore, some resins have to use liquid oil solvents for dissolution (oil solvents and water are similar, are liquid, can dissolve certain substances, but water does not contain C molecules, and organic solvents contain C, most of which are incompatible with water, if mixed together will become a non-continuous phase, you can see oil droplets floating in the water.) ), add fillers and pigments and other additives as needed to improve stretch strength, bending strength, high temperature and heat resistance, etc., which becomes paint.
is the most common paint, mixed with colorful pigments, including some fillers to increase strength
paint contains resins, additives, pigments, solvents, organic solvents are basically toxic. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the general public, the state has clear limits on the content of various types of paint solvents.
As for the coating, which contains the four main components of paint, but some solid resins do not need to add oil solvents, can be used in a powder state, this part of the non-organic oil solvent resin after mixing other additives and pigments, it is called powder coating, distinguished from paint.
in short, the generalization is that coatings contain paints and powder coatings, and resins are only a base material in paint and powder coating formulations. Isn't it easy to understand?
