Percent solids are the content of non-volatile components in liquid Coating, expressed as a percentage. It can represent the conversion rate of liquid Coating, that is, how much dry paint film a certain amount of liquid Coating surface energy is converted into.
The higher the Coating percent solids, the greater the film formation thickness, which can reduce the solvent consumption and the number of finishing times, the less air pollution, and the less power consumption of workshop ventilating.
Coating is marked with percent solids of specific varieties in the factory instructions. During finishing construction, if thinner is added, the Coating viscosity will decrease and the percent solids will become smaller; during storage and construction, a large amount of solvent will evaporate, and the Coating viscosity will increase., percent solids will also rise.
