Automotive paint is used on automobiles for both protection and decoration purposes. Paints and coatings developed for the automotive industry are also the most demanding in terms of quality and aesthetic value desired by end-use customers. The high expectations and demands of the end-user drive car manufacturers and body shop owners to maintain uniform high quality. Overall, the requirements of automotive paint are desirable durability, good weathering resistance, good chemical resistance, as well as good mechanical properties.

Construction coatings are tough, protective layers used in applications where heavy surface wear or corrosion are expected. Typical applications include warehouses, chemical plants, and manufacturing floors. Construction coatings can also be used to brighten or define areas of facilities, mark traffic aisles, route traffic, cover stained concrete, or in concrete admixtures.

The binder, or resin, is usually what gives the coating its name, such as polyurethane or acrylic. While the pigment provides a paint with colour, the additives give it extra desirable characteristics, and the solvent gives it the necessary consistency for application. The binder is the film-forming component of paint, the vehicle that carries the pigment and then dries or cures, holding it in place. The binder is also responsible for adhesion, durability, flexibility, gloss, and other physical properties. Binders and resins for paint are one of the most important elements of coatings.

Industrial coating is a paint or coating defined by it’s protective, rather than its aesthetic properties, although it can provide both. The most common use of industrial coatings is for corrosion control of steel or concrete. These coatings include both air drying and stoving coatings and will include coatings across a wide range of uses such as nuts and bolts, office furniture, toolboxes, transformers, power plant, transport containers and agricultural and construction equipment.

Pigment Paste is a ready to use form of pigments. Pigment paste or concentrate is widely used in many paint applications. They have several benefits, such as increased productivity, as well as very high efficiency in colour tinting processes.

Metal coatings are coatings that are applied to metal to protect the metal and reduce wear and tear. An unprotected metal will rust and corrode due to environmental exposure. By coating the metal, an extra layer of protection is provided. A variety of coatings can be applied to metal, and the choice of which type of coating to apply is determined by the end use of the metal product. Metal coatings prevent oxidation and rust. Without a protective coating, the metal of a train or car would quickly be damaged by the liquids and chemicals to which it is routinely exposed.

Ink is used to colour a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Ink is used for drawing or writing with a pen, brush, or quill. Thicker inks, in paste form, are used extensively in letterpress and lithographic printing. Ink can be a complex medium, composed of solvents, pigments, dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilisers, surfactants, particulate matter, fluorescents, and other materials. The components of inks serve many purposes. The ink’s carrier, colourants, and other additives affect the flow and thickness of the ink and its dry appearance.

These are coatings applied in factories to wood for a range of uses, which include office furniture, kitchen and bathroom fittings, general furniture and industrial joinery. These are different from ‘wood care’ coatings, which are the DIY coatings such as wood varnishes and coatings for fences and decking.
