Manufacturing primers for paints
is done by many leading manufacturers of paints and primers in India, such as
Berger, Asian Paints, Nerolac, who have a place for them within the fortune 500
companies list of India.
Paints
and Primers are the basic necessity for manufacturing wood furniture and
construction industry. To enhance the market value and beautify am object or a
house we certainly can’t ignore the significance of paints. To keep the paint
for a longer duration and retain the texture with a smooth finish, primers are
used in the surface of the object.
Emulsion paints and wood paints,
distempers everything needs a base coat to give the lustre and shine to the
final coat. Every kind of paint needs a primer to keep it glued to the surface
of the material, be it wood, metal or concrete walls.
Oil paints, acrylic paints,
paints needed for furniture made of wood or metal as well as the wall colors
highly depend on the undercoat. If the best quality undercoat or primer is used
then definitely the paint will shine beautifully.
There are few things to keep in
mind, while choosing for a primer. When you finalize the undercoat for paint,
the process of applying is of the next most important thing in the list.
Tackiness, porosity and
hygroscopy are the major three properties ought to be in a primer. These
physical properties when maintained at their best, offer the most finished
paintwork over any surface.
Let’s have a look on the variety
of primers available in the market as per the material on which the paint work
is to be done.
Metal Primers
Metals like untreated aluminium
need a primer as well as steel, as constant or partial exposure to water and
the weather would wear and tear the metal, due to oxidation process. Preventing the corrosion and oxidation is
largely avoided by applying a good coat of primer, before the paint work is to
be started. In the aircraft industry it is highly essential to do painting and
gluing the aluminium with a zinc chromate primer as well as chromating process
to enhance the adhesiveness.
Wood Primers
As wood is a porous material,
primer is a much needed thing, to keep the furniture safe against termites and
bedbugs as well as weather conditions that would deteriorate it. By using a
primer for paints meant for wood, the paint decelerates the curing process of
the paint and gives a shiny look to the wood products.
They are rarely used, usually
when the plastic is sensitive to the chemical of the paint.
