Sedimentation in Paints

Dr E. Ramanathan PhD Definition:Sedimentation is the settling of heavier pigments or extenders at the bottom of the paint container during storage, leading to separation, non-uniform consistency, and poor application properties. Causes of Sedimentation Remedies Note: Sedimentation is reversible if soft settling occurs. Irreversible “hard settling” may lead to product rejection.

What is Trication Phosphating?

Dr E. Ramanathan PhD 1. What is trication phosphating? Trication phosphating is a metal surface treatment process that deposits a crystalline phosphate layer using three metal cations—zinc (Zn²⁺), nickel (Ni²⁺), and manganese (Mn²⁺)—to improve corrosion resistance and paint adhesion. 2. What are the advantages of trication phosphating over zinc phosphating? 3. What type of substrates…
