Technical purpose The CP Wood Primecoat and CP Wood Hardtop paints are made from a mixture of resins, pigments, specialist admixtures (for characteristics such as viscosity, flow, drying, texture, etc.) and water. The CP Wood Primecoat and CP Wood Hardtop paints are used on wood surfaces. The Primecoat is the base primer, and is then coverd with the Hardtop paint, which is the finish coat. The Primecoat is provided in a 10 litre metal can. 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 |
