Bituminous paints has various industrial purposes and contain oil-based ingredients
The
process of using bituminous paints has been around for centuries. It was not
until the twentieth century that the industrial revolution introduced new
technologies that have revolutionized this art form. These new techniques
enable the use of these paints for industrial purposes.
There
are several types of bituminous
paints available in the market, which are based on different manufacturing
processes. Most of the industrial paints used today contain oil-based
ingredients. This paint is usually called Teflon-coated paint and it has a
limited life span if it is not carefully handled. This paint may chip or crack
when it comes into contact with certain metals.
The
Teflon coating provides protection to industrial products from the harmful
effects of the toxic chemicals contained in the paints. The oil-based paints
contain hydrocarbons and there are instances when these hydrocarbons react with
the wax coating present on the plastic bitumen to form chlorinated oils. Such
industrial products should therefore be handled with great care. A brush with
soft bristles is required to apply these paints on a surface. This paint is
basically applied on a clean and smooth surface. Use of any type of brush or
cloth may result in the release of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
that are released into the air. Hence it is necessary that you wear protective
gloves and eye goggles while painting. The process of applying these paints requires
careful handling. It is essential to remove all dust particles or loose
particles from the area before painting.
Bituminous
paints can be of various types such as permanent bituminous, non-permanent
bituminous, acrylic paints, etc. Acrylic types of paints are light weighted and
therefore easier to use. These paints have the ability to provide flexibility
for various industrial processes, due to which they find usage in places like
the shipping industry, printing industry, furniture industry, etc. Therefore,
bituminous paints are considered to be of great economic benefit for both the
industrial users and the users at home.
