Coat:-
Any film of coating material that lies between the primary and finishing
coats of a coating system.
Intumescent Coating:-
A coating material which by foaming or swelling forms a voluminous
substance when exposed to heat
Krebs Stormer:-
Rotational viscometer which is relatively simple to use and reads
viscosities for thixotropic liquids in the "brushing"
range. The apparatus basically measures the force required to rotate
a paddle at a speed of 200 rpm in the test liquid. The viscosity
is expressed in Krebs units
Lacquer:-
A coating based on a non convertible binder which dries purely by
solvent evaporation
Lacquer dry:-
The initial drying phase of a system (often a blend of convertible
and non-convertible binders). The system dries to tack free like
a lacquer but needs time to fully convert. Examples - styrenated
alkyd, n/c alkyd blends.
