Flame Retardant Coatings
by Dr E. Ramanathan PhD
Aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) is widely incorporated in flame retardant coating formulations due to its ability to release water when heated, which cools the material and dilutes flammable gases. Let us discuss the basic formulation framework for flame-retardant coatings using aluminum hydroxide: General Flame Retardant Coating Formulation Guidelines Binder (30-40%):…

Dry Film Thickness
Dry Film Thickness is generally represented as DFT in industries. The usual dry film thickness (DFT) expected for a spray touch-up paint on automobiles typically ranges between: 25 to 50 microns for a single layer, depending on the type of paint and the spraying technique. For multiple layers (e.g., primer, basecoat, and clearcoat), the total…
Gelling of metallic paints
Gellation in Quick-Drying Acrylic Metallic Paints https://youtube.com/shorts/jbh12Vzto1M?feature=share Causes of Gellation Solvent Imbalance: Use of fast evaporating solvents causes rapid drying, leading to partial polymer gelling. Solvents with high solvency power can destabilize the resin-solvent system. Resin Compatibility Issues: Incompatibility between acrylic resin and metallic pigment leads to localized gellation. High molecular weight resins or improperly…

Plasticizers
Plasticizers: Definition: Plasticizers are additives used to increase the plasticity or fluidity of a material. They are commonly incorporated into polymers to make them softer, more flexible, and easier to handle. Function: Plasticizers work by embedding themselves between the chains of polymers, spacing them apart and thus increasing their mobility. This process reduces intermolecular forces…
