8. A) INGREDIENTS OF ENAMEL PAINT
• ENAMEL PAINTS ARE MADE BY ADDING VARNISH IN ORDINARY OIL-BASED PAINT.
• THE SOLVENTS ARE USUALLY AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS TOLUENE AND METHYL ETHYL KETONE, THE
BINDERS ARE VEGETABLE OILS, ALKYDS AND ACRYLICS AND VINYL ACRYLICS.
• THE PIGMENTS CONSTITUTE CLAY, CALCIUM CARBONATE, MICA, SILICA'SAND TALC'S, WHILE THE
ADDITIVES ARE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH, TALC, LIME AND BARITE.

9. B) INGREDIENTS OF EPOXY PAINT
• EPOXY RESIN IS MADE BY COMBINING TWO TYPES OF SUBSTANCES, EPOXIDE AND POLYAMINE.
• THE EPOXIDE IS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE COMPOUND.
• THE POLYAMINE IS THE SUBSTANCE THAT IS USED TO HARDEN THE EPOXIDE.
• WHEN A PERSON IS READY TO USE THE EPOXY RESIN, HE OR SHE MUST MIX THE TWO SUBSTANCES TO
CREATE THE COMPOUND.

10. APPLICATIONS

11. A) APPLICATIONS OF ENAMEL PAINT
1. WOOD WORK
• THE SURFACE SHOULD BECLEAN AND DUST FREE
• THE WOOD WORK TO BE PAINTED SHOULD BE DRY
• ALL UNEVENNESS SHOULD BESMOOTH
• BEFORE PAINTING WOOD WORK PRIMING COAT SHOULD BE APPLIED Source:

12. 2. PLASTERED SURFACE
• THE PAINTING WORK IS DONE AFTER THE WALL IS DRY
• THE SURFACE SHOULD BECLEAN AND DUST-FREE
• SURFACES SHOULD BE VOID-FREE (NO HOLES ON SURFACES)
• GOOD QUALITY OF PRIMER SHOULD BE USE FOR THE SURFACES Source:

13. 3. IRON AND STEEL SURFACE
• ALL RUST SHOULD BE REMOVED
• THE SURFACE SHOULD BE CLEAN AND DUST FREE
• GOOD QUALITY OF PRIMER SHOULD BE APPLIED ON TO THE
SURFACES Source:

15. 2. STEEL CORROSION RESISTANT COATINGS
FUSION BONDED EPOXY POWDER COATINGS ARE USED FOR CORROSION
PROTECTION IN STEEL PIPES AND FITTINGS. COMMONLY USED IN THE OIL
AND GAS INDUSTRY, WATER TRANSMISSION PIPELINES, AND CONCRETE
REINFORCING REBAR.

16. 3. METAL CAN AND CONTAINER COATING
METAL CANS AND CONTAINERS ARE OFTEN TREATED WITH AN EPOXY
COATING TO PREVENT RUSTING. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON
APPLICATIONS IS THE PACKAGING OFNACIDIC FOODS SUCH AS
TOMATOES.

18. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

19. A) ADVANTAGES OF ENAMEL PAINT
1.COMES IN CONTAINER AND READY TO USE.
2.TOUGH DURABLE AND STAIN RESISTANT
3. WASHING CAPABILITY IS BETTER COMPARED TO PLASTIC PAINT.
4.LAST FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AS IT PROVIDES A DURABLE FINISH.
5.CAN BE APPLIED ON BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SURFACES.
6.PROVIDES A GLOSSY AND SMOOTH FINISH SURFACE.

20. A) DISADVANTAGES OF ENAMEL PAINT
1. TAKES A LONG TIME TO DRY

21. B) ADVANTAGES OF EPOXY PAINT
1.CREATE AN EASY TO CLEAN SURFACE RESULT IN DURABLE SURFACE WHICH CAN LAST FOR YEARS
2.PROVIDES AN ATTRACTIVE FLOORING SURFACE AS IT PROVIDES A GLOSSY FINISH
3.PROVIDES A CHEMICALLY RESISTANT SURFACE
4.IMPROVE SAFETY AS IT IS HIGHLY FIRE AND HEAT RESISTANT
5.INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY CAPABILITIES
6.OFFER AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FLOORING SOLUTION
7.ALLOW FOR QUICK AND EASY APPLICATION
8.OFFER A COST EFFICIENT FLOORING SOLUTION

22. B) DISADVANTAGES OF EPOXY PAINT
1. CAN BE TOXIC WHEN THE VAPOUR THAT HAVE EVAPORATED FROM THE SOLVENT BORNE EPOXY ARE
INHALED.
