(Usually expressed in square feet per gallon).ĬRACKING: The type of paint failure characterized by breaks in irregular lines wide enough to expose the underlying surface.ĬRAWLING: Varnish defect in which poor adhesion of varnish to surface in some spots causes it to gather up in globs.ĬRAZING: Small, interlacing cracks on surface of finish.ĬURING: Final conversion or drying or a coating material.ĬUSTOM COLOR: Special colors made by adding colorant to paint or by intermixing colors, which permits the retailer to match a color selected by the consumer.ĭRY TACK FREE: That stage of drying when the paint no longer feels sticky or tacky when lightly touched.ĭRY TO HANDLE: That stage of drying when a paint film has hardened sufficiently so the object or surface painted may be used without marring.ĭRY TO RECOAT: That stage of drying when the next coat can be applied.ĭRY TO SAND: That stage of drying when a paint film can be sanded without the sandpaper sticking or clogging.ĭURABILITY: The ability of paint to last or hold up well against the destructive agents such as weather, sunlight, detergents, air pollution, abrasion or marring.ĮGGSHELL FINISH: The degree of gloss between a flat and gloss finish.ĮMULSION PAINT: Paint in which particles are suspended in water or oil with the aid of an emulsifier as in latex paint.ĮNAMEL: Broad classification paints that dry to a hard finish. Proper color of a diamond.ĬOVERAGE: The area over which a given amount of paint will spread and hide the previous surface. Applied directly to metal.īLEEDING: Undercoat staining through the topcoat.īLISTERING: The formation of bubbles or pimples on the painted surface caused by moisture in the wood by painting before the previous coat has dried thoroughly or by excessive heat or grease under the paint.īLUSHING: A gloss film turning flat or a clear lacquer turning white, usually caused by moisture condensation during the drying process.īODY: The thickness or thinness of a liquid paint.īREATHE: The ability of a paint film to permit the passage of moisture vapor without causing blistering, cracking, or peeling.īRIDGING: Ability of paint to span small gaps or cracks through its cohesion and elastic qualities.īUBBLES: Air bubbles in a drying paint film caused by excessive brushing during application or by over vigorous mixing that results in air trapment.īUILD: Thickness or depth of a paint film.ĬATALYST: An ingredient that speeds up a chemical reaction sometimes used in two component paint systems.ĬAULKING COMPOUND: A semidrying or slow drying plastic material used to seal joints or fill crevices around windows, chimneys.ĬHECKING: A kind of paint failure in which many small cracks appear in the surface of the paint.ĬLEAR COATING: A transparent protective and/or decorative film.ĬOALESCING: The settling or drying of an emulsion paint as the water evaporates.ĬOATING: paint, varnish, lacquer or other finish used to create a protective and/or decorative layer.ĬOHESION: Attraction of molecules within a coating (how it holds together).ĬOLORANT: Concentrated color that can be added to paints to make a specific color. Examples are powdered pumice, rottenstone, sandpaper, sandpaper, steel wool.ĪDHESION: The ability of a coating to stick to a surface.ĪEROSOL: A product feature that uses compressed gas to spray the product from its container.ĪIRLESS SPRAY: A spray that increases the fluid pressure of paint by means of a pump that causes atomization with air, resulting in higher film build and little or no over-spray.ĪNCHORING: Mechanical bonding of a coating to a rough surface as contrasted with adhesion, which is chemical bonding.ĪNTI-CORROSIVE PAINT: Metal paint designed to inhibit corrosion. A necessary quality for floor finishes, enamels and varnishes.ĪBRASIVE: Used for wearing away a surface by rubbing. ABRASION RESISTANCE: Resistance to being worn away by rubbing or friction related more to toughness than to hardness.
