• Diluent or solvent or thinner

The main purposes of the diluent are to dissolve the polymer and adjust the viscosity of the paint. It is volatile and does not become part of the paint film. It also controls flow and application properties, and in some cases can affect the stability of the paint while in liquid state. Its main function is as the carrier for the non volatile components. This component is optional: some paints have no diluent.

• Binder

The binder is the film-forming component of paint. It is the only component that is always present among all the various types of formulations. Many binders are too thick to be applied and must be thinned. The type of thinner, if present, varies with the binder. The binder imparts properties such as gloss, durability, flexibility, and toughness. Binders include synthetic or natural resins .

1. alkyds,
2. acrylics,
3. vinyl-acrylics,
4. vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE),
5. polyurethanes,
6. polyesters,
7. melamine resins,
8. epoxy,
9. silanes or siloxanes

Strainers:

Universal Stainer

Universal Stainer Rhinatint are manufactured to rigid specifications such as colour shade, colour strength and rheology. This guarantees both excellent colour accuracy and colour reproducibility. Universal Stainer are carefully formulated to provide trouble free use. The pigments are fully dispersed maximum Tinting strength & full chroma. Due to the unique dispersion technique used by Radiant Chemicals optimum color development is obtained from each pigment employed. This results in maximum Tintorial strength, maximum transparency. This ensures complete deagglomeration resulting in no shade change & strength change. Universal Stainer are glycol based binder free pigment concentrate having both Non-lonic & Anionic wetting agent & Dispersing agent in optimum dosage.

Compatibility :

Each dispersion is designed for maximum compatibility with coatings based on a wide variety of vehicle systems. Together they offer virtually unlimited color matching compatibility in most low VOC & conventional water based & solvent based coatings.

Universal Stainer are compatible with Paint system based on:

All Pigment dispersions are stabilized by additional surfactant and have negative effect on the paint film properties.Excellent Long Term Viscosity & very stable over a wide Temperature range

• Machine Colourants

Machine Colorants

Colorants are manufactured for the Volumetric Machine tinting of Water and Solvent based Architectural Coatings. Machine Colorantsare glycol based, binder free, high concentrated pigment dispersions containing Non-Ionic and Anionic Wetting and Dispersing Agents in requisite proportions. Colorants have been formulated to achieve optimum quality and hiding performance. Pigments are completely deflocaulated to obtain optimum gloss.
The synergistic combinations of Wetting and Dispersing agents allowthem to readily mix into base paints. Colorants have been designed for Volumetric Dispensing Machines and volumetric in-plant tinting. They are formulated for Exact Color Reproducibility and are most economical Solution, resulting in lower distribution cost and increase in Profits.
