A
COMPLETE GUIDE TO PRODUCTION OF PAINT
I sincerely welcome you to this
course. We shall be treating how to produce all kinds of paints from emulsion,
textcoat, and Satin otherwise called nylon or washable paint. Let’s get
started.
A COMPLETE GUIDE TO PAINT PRODUTION
Emulsion, Textcoat and Satin (nylon paint)
Introduction of chemical
These are the chemical to be used in the production of emulsion paint<br
/>
1. Water
2. Titherni (used only for the
production of white paint)
3. Calcium carbonate (Calcium)
4. Colourite
5. P.V.A
6. Formalin
7. Nitrosol
8. Ammonia
9. Hydrosol
10. Marble dust
11. Acrydext
Others include
12. Geniple
13. K14
14. Bama cork
Functions of the chemicals
1. water
Water is used to mix all the chemicals together. It must not be a hot water.
You can use any type of clean and neat water with normal water temperature.
However, I prefer soft water to cold water. It helps to mix the paints more
easily.
2. Titherni
It is whitening chemical in powdery form. You can always get it where they are
selling paint chemical, or rather industrial chemical. Just ask of titherni it
will be given to you. It performs the function of making sure that you with
paint is shining and not dull. This is the secret of some big names in painting
industry. We shall give you the ratio down the line. It is only used when you
are producing with paint. That does not mean you cannot use it in other colours
but the function is more significant in white paints.
3. Calcium Carbonate
This chemical is also in powdery form. It is packaged in bags and they write
CalCo on it. It is made by so many companies, I would not like to advertise any
but just ask of calcium and it will be given to you.
Now calcium carbonate is of two or types
We have delomite and cacite. Both are good but delomite is recommended if you
are producing pure white paint and cacite is better in off white (dirty white)
paint.
4. Colourite
This is the most important of the entire course. It involves the ability of
mixing some colours to get a desired result. It is not difficult at all if you
have initiative and artistic eye.
These are the colours we have in raw form (please permit me to call them
primary colours because all other colours in the painting industry is gotten
from them)
They are: yellow ( we painters call it cream), Red, Black, Blue, and Green. All
other colours are gotten from a combination of one or two of these.
What about White paint? You might ask. Well we do not need to have a pure white
colour because, we make our paints with CalCo and it gives us white naturally.
In fact once you put your calcium in water you get white paint. I hope that is
clear.
We shall cover how to mix the paints to get particular result. But for now just
know that colours can be found in paste or oxide. When we say colors are in
paste we mean that they are in condensed liquid form (like your pomade), when
they are in oxide it means they are in dust form (like your wife’s powder). A
colour like cream has both oxide and paste. Red and black are mostly in oxide,
green and blue are in paste. For those who might be wondering which one to use
between the yellow oxide and yellow paste, I suggest that if you want the
colour you are producing to be deep yellow like MTN colour, you should use
paste, otherwise use oxide.
CAUTION: you MUST dilute the colours very well with a little water before you
apply it to your paint. For example if you get a red oxide, pour a cup of water
in a different container mix thoroughly. If not, your paint will be having
dotted stains as you roll it on the wall.
5. P.V.A.
This chemical is very important. I guess you might have seen a situation where
after painting a building, when you rub your hand on the surface it will be
dusting. That is as a result of ill usage of this liquid formed chemical. In my
experience, some big names in the painting industry do not even know how to use
it. But you not worry, I will tell you and who know you might become their next
consultant.
6. Formalin
It does the function of preservative.
7. Nitrosol
It helps to hold the paints together i.e it is a thickener. Its correct usage
makes the paint more durable on the wall.
8. Ammonia
This is your secondary school laughing gas. It is also used to make the paints
more durable. It serves as a preservative agent too.
9. Hydrosol
This is the chemical that integrates the colours and brings out the best in
them. It is used to correct dullness in paints.
10. Marble dust
This is usually used in the production of textcoat paints. It is of two types
rough and smooth. The preference is determined by what you want to achieve. If
you want sandy textcoat i.e the one without lining, you use only rough type.
However, the combination of both in the same ratio gives a better result.
11. Acrytext
This is used as a thickener. It holds the seemingly watery paint together.
12. Geniple
This one just does the function of giving the painter a scintillating perfume
as he does his job.
13. K14
It is also a preservative.
14. Bama cork
it does the function of nitrosol. If you use bama cork you do not need to use
nitrosol.
Steps to making Emulsion Paints
Emulsion are those ordinary paints that are not roughened with sand-like
objects. The once that are sand-like are regarded as textcoat. You need to
aware that there are other types of paint as well. Satin, oil e.t.c we shall
treat them separately but for now let us concentrate with textcoat and
emulsion.
For emulsion
Step 1.
Mix Calcuim Carbonate in water
for one bucket production (hence we shall be referring to bucket of paint i.e.
normal -- litres of paint as drum), pour water in the bucket up to half (--
liters of water) you can always increase the volume of water at any stage if
necessary. Add less than half bag of Calcuim (add until the mixture rises
to about 17 liters in the bucket) by now the drum will be quarter empty. NOTE;
if you are producing white paint, you will mix titherni in water before adding
calcium. -- Spoons of titherni are enough. MIX VERY WELL.
Step 2:
Add your colour. It is assumed that by now you must have diluted the colours as
required with water if they are oxide. Now put colour in small rations and keep
turning until you get your desired result. You can always add more if you like.
Suppose you added more yellow for example, than you need, you can correct it by
adding more calcium (but not after this stage) Bear in mind that the colour may
be deeper when wet and lighter when the paint is dried.
Step 3
Add --kg of P.V.A to the mixture. After turning add half glass cup of nitrosol.
Nitrosol is always in powdery form so you must dilute it in small water before
you add to your mixture.
Next add about -- centiliter of formalin and about same volume for ammonia and
hydrosol sequentially. Turn very well at any addition of a new chemical.
Final step
When you have completed the above steps, make sure that you turn the above
mixture very well. As you are turning it you might be a little fidgeted that
you have wasted your resources. You don’t need to be afraid. Just add acrytext
to the mixture and turn. Add it in small quantity until you get the thickness
you desire. However if you add access you might spoil your mixture. Now that
you paint is ready, just take your scraper, brush and roller and roll away your
newly built house.
Warning: please the chemicals must
be added in the order I have given you. If not you may have problem for example
if you put ammonia before Nitrosol, the paint will get blocked. And again if
ammonia drops in Nitrosol, the Nitrosol will block. More so, when formalin is
poured into ammonia it will explode. The only time you can add ammonia before
Nitrosol is when you are turning on machine speed. Just be careful.
For Large Quantity Production
If we are working with 350 litres of butter, we shall have about 16 drums of
paint after production.
Now 350 litres butter goes with -- litres of water i.e. pour -- and half paint
buckets of water
Add -- bags of Calcium
1kg of titherni(if you a producing white paint)
-- kg of P.V.A (for super quality paint or --kg for less quality paint)
-- kg of Nitrosol
Others has no specific quantity. You just add with discretion but make sure you
do not over add especially Acrytext.
Production of Textcoat
For 1 drum of textcoat
Step 1:
Pour about -- liters of water into the bucket, add -- bag of Calcuim (or less)
then add your colours as it is supposed to be.
Step 2: now after turning the mixture above, you add marble dust (I hope you
remember what we said about marble dust above). Good. You will notice that some
textcoat paints have a kind of lining and some has only rough surface. And
there are those that we call designer textcoat such are the once that they use
with the aid of a special roller to design houses so that its end effect will
be something like flowers or blocks made of paint in your house. Am sure you
must have seen such paint. It is called artwork in the painting industry. All
these are textcoat but it is the mode of application of this chemical that
makes different types.
For rough textcoats use only rough marble dust in your production
For lining textcoats use a combination of rough and smooth marble dust in equal
ratio( if you are producing this one I will advice you add smooth marble dust
first after turning add the rough one)
For artwork textcoats use only smooth marble dust in production.
Now as you are adding the marble dust, you will notice that the volume of your
mixture is increasing. Just add according to your own discretion it has no
specific measurement. If you are confused on the quantity to add, just keep
adding until the drum is -- empty. Use your initiative. Please do not use only
smooth marble dust for production unless you are producing artwork that needs a
designer roller.
Step 3: when you are through with turning of this mixture (turn very well), you
will now add your P.V.A. and other chemicals like we said in emulsion. However
you will need to increase their volume a little. For example you will need full
glass cup of Nitrosol and increase the volume of other chemicals a little. When
you have finish adding all the other chemical up to Hydrosol, you can go and
gym in order to activate your muscle for turning the paint as you add
Acrytext. On the addition of acritext the paint will become strong. Now to know
if the Acrytext you added is enough, take a small portion of the paint and
touch it on the wall. If the teething is not falling congratulations if it is
falling add more. Now you can go and roll away your textcoat on your parlour.
Bigger Quantity Production
350 litre butter will give us 15 drums of textcoat paint
Add -- drums of water (remember what we said about drum)
Use -- bags of calcium
Use -- bag of marble Dust i.e. -- for rough, -- for smooth
Empty -- kg of Nitrosol and -- kg of P.V.A
All other are as usual
If you cannot turn the whole paint when you add acrytext, pour them out in
different buckets and add you acrytext so that you can turn it.
When this is done call your marketer and take the latest product to the hungry
market.
Satin (nylon paint)
I hope you remember we did mention Satin paint somewhere. This is the type of
paint that is generally regarded as nylon paint. It is called nylon paint
because it is washable ( u can use water to wash it when it is dirty.
Production of Satin
For one drum
Use About -- litres of water. Add calcium in a small quantity to make the paint
light. What I mean is that the thickness of the paint at this stage will be
less than the thickness it has when we are producing emulsion.
Now add your favourite colour.
You do NOT use P.V.A.
Add -- kg of Acritext
-- kg of Nitrosol (just enough to make the paint thicker and drawing)
Add ammonia and formalin as usual and finally add -- kg of hydrosol
Your washable paint is ready. Beautify your house.
