Paints are composed of several key components: pigments, resins, solvents, and additives. Pigments are primarily used to colour the paint, though they offer additional properties such as corrosion and UV protection depending on the selection and function required. Resins form a film that binds the pigments together and adheres the paint to the surface. Solvents act as a carrier for the pigments and binder; both water and organic solvents can be used as a carrier, depending on whether water-based or solvent-based paints are required. Additives enhance specific properties of the paint, including the viscosity, flow rate, protection against corrosion, and to inhibit foaming in storage.
