A paint stripper (also called a paint remover) is a chemical product designed to remove paint, varnish, lacquer, or other coatings from surfaces such as wood, metal, masonry, or plastic. Need and Importance of Paint Stripping 1. Surface Preparation for Recoating Paint stripping ensures that old, degraded, or incompatible coatings…Dr E.

Aerosol touch-up paints are available in different types based on resin system, finish, substrate compatibility, and application purpose. Major categories are: 1. Based on Resin System Acrylic Aerosols – Fast drying, good color…For high jetness automotive paints → Cabot Monarch®, Orion Printex®, Birla Raven® high series.
For durable industrial & architectural paints → Lanxess Bayferrox®, CathayCoat™, Venator.
For heat-resistant & powder coatings → Shepherd Color spinel blacks, Ferro pigments.
For economical coatings in India → Sudarshan, Sona Pigments, Kolorjet.
In thermoplastic acrylic resins (e.g. methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate copolymers used in quick-dry aerosols), solvents fall into two categories: 1. True Solvents These dissolve the acrylic resin completely → they break polymer–polymer interactions and produce a clear solution. Ketones Acetone → strong, very fast-evaporating, excellent solvent. MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) → strong, medium-fast evaporation, good balance.…
Phthalate plasticizers are a large family of chemicals made by esterifying phthalic acid (1,2-benzene dicarboxylic acid) with various alcohols. They are the most widely used plasticizers in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and especially in PVC, because they make polymers softer, more flexible, and easier to process. 🔹 Chemistry Base structure: benzene ring with two ester groups…
