Abstract

Paints are used to prolong the life of natural and synthetic materials and to protect it, it acts as a barrier against environmental conditions. Mainly paints are made up of solvent, biner, extenders, pigments(s), and some additives. Solvent can be either organic or Inorganic, and it’s used as medium to dissolve paints contents together and make it uniform, it can also be used as a thinner. Pigments are used to give color to the paint. Binders are used to hold pigments in place. Extenders have large pigment particles to improve adhesion properties of the paint, and they are also used to strengthen the film and save the binder. The objective is to find the chemical compounds and the literature amounts that makes a good acrylic paint, find chemicals that would potentially lower the scrub resistance, and find additives and chemical compounds that would potentially increase the quality and increase the scrub resistance test for acrylic paints. After researching the chemical properties and role of each chemical compound used in the current formulation and comparing the amounts used to reference values, it has been found that main chemical compounds are missing from the current formulation: pigments, extenders, and another type of pre-emulsion monomer. It also has been found that copious amounts surfactants 4.5% (2.0% Octyl phenol polyglycol ether sulfate sodium salt, 2.0% Octyl phenol Polyglycol Ether Sulphate Sodium Salt, and 0.5% Provichem) have been causing a low scrub resistance test of current formulation compared to reference.
