Technical purpose The acrylic paints are made from a mixture of resins, pigments, specialist admixtures (for characteristics such as viscosity, flow, drying, texture, etc.) and water.
Acrylic washable matt is ideal for interior walls and ceilings. It is based on a full acrylic resin which imparts enhanced durability. The finished matt painted surface can be washed easily to remove normal household stains.
Acrylic soft sheen is ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. It has a mid-sheen finish that is hard wearing and washable on all interior wall surfaces. It is assumed these paints are packaged in 10 litre capacity polypropylene buckets.
The manufacturing process for the paints is a series of staged mixing process. The first mix is carried out until
full dispersant is achieved. This is followed by adding additional ingredients which are further mixed until all ingredients are fully dispersed. Some further additional and final mixing stages are usually carried out, where additional ingredients are added to optimise rheology and viscosity. Once the paints have achieved their desired properties, they are filled into containers for sale. Waste materials such as plastic, cardboard and metals are recycled, municipal solid wastes are sent to landfill, and solvents/rags/plastic cans sent for incineration. |
