PRODUCTION OF EMULSION PAINT

ABSTRACT

Everyone would love to have a beautiful house to live in. In addition to other factors to be considered, paint gives a very pleasant appearance to houses and other painted objects. Paint is a pigmented liquid that stretches and gives colour and opacity for preserving, protecting and decorating surfaces as well as enabling such surfaces to be cleaned easily.

This project is on the production of paint from the available paint materials which took us to series of excursions to paint factories.

The excursions helped us to obtain and acquire proper knowledge on high quality paint (emulsion) and other types of paints. Globe paint factory and Model class paint industries ltd were used as case studied that helped to join the experiences of production patterns of the factories which led us to good acquisition of good ideas of good quality paints.

INTRODUCTION

Paint production is a lucrative business and its profit potential is very high. Going by the number of houses and other structures in the country, it is certain that you can never run out of business if you go into paint production.

Paint is an essential commodity needed for painting houses, offices, etc and the demand is in the increase. There is hardly any house that is not painted these days, so the market is there for any aspiring entrepreneur.

Paint production is in three major categories: we have water based and oil based paints. You can start your home-based paint production with as little as N 200,000. The raw materials are readily available in the Nigerian market. You don’t need any expensive equipment to produce paint; you only need some buckets and your just two hands to do the mixing. What is left for you to do is to penetrate and capture the market by producing good quality paint and marketing it very well.

Hence, for a small scale business, it might require you to have at least half plot of land for the production environment after a successful registration of your business name and the approvals from standard organization of Nigeria, S.O.N. with a minimum number of five employees you can fairly begin the production. Though, with just two people paint production can be due based on the scale of production in a room space environment especially for a very small beginner.

In order to survive the cloaking dominance of the market leaders in the industry, new start-ups can map out their self-sustaining market strategy. While some could afford to distribute in the open market to compete amongst others, some may solely depend on personal contact and placing of orders before embarking on production. 

1.1    BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Paint is a term used to describe a number of substances that consist of a pigment suspended in a liquid or paste vehicle such as oil or water. With a brush, a roller, or a spray gun, paint is applied in thin coat to various surfaces such as wood, metal, or stone. Although it’s primary purpose is to protect the surface to which it is applied, paint also provides decoration.

Samples of the first known paintings, made between 25,000 years ago, survive in caves in France and Spain. Primitive paintings tended to depict humans and animals, and diagrams have also been found. Early artists relied easily available natural substances to make paint, such as natural earth pigments, charcoal, berry juice, lard, blood, and milkweed sap. Later, the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans used more sophisticated materials to produce paints for limited decoration, such as painting walls. Oil were used as varnishes, and pigments such as yellow and red ochres, chalk, arsenic sulfide yellow, and malachite green were mixed with binders such as gum Arabic, lime, egg albumen, and beeswax.

Paint was first used as a protective coating by the Egyptians and Hebrews, who applied pitches and balsams to the exposed wood of their ships. During the Middle-Ages, some inland wood also received protective coatings of paint, but due to the scarcity of paint, this practice was generally limited to store fronts and signs. Around the same time, artists began to boil resin with oil to obtain highly miscible (mixable) paints, and artists of the fifteenth century were the first to add drying oils to paint, thereby hastening evaporation. They also adopted a new solvent, linseed oil, which remained the most commonly used solvent until synthetics replaced it during the twentieth century.

1.2    AIMS OF THE STUDY

The aim of this work is to make use of available raw materials in the production of Emulsion Paint.

1.3    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The objectives are as follows

1.   To facilitate the manufacturing process.

2.   To enhance the products stability and durability

3.   To enhance the product performance, which include application and film quality so as to achieve all the desirous goals of the coating.

1.4    THE SCOPE OF PROJECT RESEARCH

Paints is classified according to its application and functions such as Varnishes, leaguers, fillers etc. Emulsion paint which is a water based paint is principally used for external and internal surface coatings, mostly in building for appearance and as a surface protector. Apart from their protective action, vanishes and leaguers increases the protective action of manufactured goods
