Paint Application

The resin and pigments fuse, forming a tough, solid that is known as paint film. Enamel paint is made from an alkyd resin that is dissolved in a solvent. As the solvent evaporates in the first stage, it forms a tacky lacquer. The resin reacts with the oxygen in the air and forms a hard coating.Typically, there are four main components in a paint: pigment, binder, liquid, and additives. Application methods depend on the particular paint, but can include spray application, brush methods, and electrostatic spraying.
