CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
A pilot production plant for
paint is a chain une of pant production, from the design of the machine,
the mixing of the chemical to the packaging. All is aim at production
of both (texcoat) and emulsion (water based paints) which are basically
classified as one of the two classes of paint.
PAINT CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO
- GLOSS PAINTS (OIL BASED PAINTS)
These
are paints that may be classified according to whether the drying
mechanisms is predominantly solvent evaporation, oxidation or some
chemical reaction. Gloss paints which dry essentially by solvent
evaporation, rely on a fairly hard resin as the vehicle. Paints which
dry by oxidation, the vehicle is usually an oil or an oil – based
varnish, these usually contain driers to accelerate the drying of the
oil. Paint based essentially on oil with suitable pigment such as
Titanium dioxide, extenders, and usually zinc – oxide and white lead are
conventional outside house paints because these materials give the
combination of the properties which meet this requirement.
- EMULSION/TEXCOAT PAINTS (WATER – BASED PAINTS)
These
are paints with water soluble vehicle and they includes calcimines, in
which the vehicle is glue an case in paints, in which the vehicle is
casein or soybean protein.
OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH WORK
The objectives of the research project work is to study the
formulation, production of a low cost simple mixing machine and the
production of paints, both glass and emulsion in with the use of local
pigment and extenders as raw materials. This is highly beneficial for
small scale for hence the cost of production is far reduced compared to
paint produce by industries using imported machines and materials.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ] The concept of this project is to actualize a practical way of paint production using a locally design mixing machine which is design to meet a low cost and high standard paint. The project cut across all forms of engineering, such as mechanical machine design of a simple industrial mixer, which is driven by an electrically made device, a 3 HP electric motor, chemically reacting reagents such as water, calcium carbonate, etc to produce the desired product which is aim to be u ...
