Fineness of paint

Abstract: 本文探讨了涂料细度的定义及其对涂膜性能的影响。涂料细度是指颜料在漆中分散的程度,同时也需检测是否存在影响涂膜外观平整度的杂质。细度小的涂料能使涂层更加平整均匀,从而提升涂层的光泽度、遮盖性能和装饰性,并有助于延长保护层寿命;然而,细度过细会增加研磨时间和设备使用,同时可能降低漆膜附着力。根据国家标准,底漆的细度要求一般不超过50μm或60μm,醇酸面漆不超过20μm,个别特殊品种可要求至15μm以下。涂层中最粗糙的部分通常最先受到破坏,导致整体老化和破坏,因此对底漆的细度要求相对较低,而对面漆的细度要求较高。测定方法是通过将涂料铺展为不同厚度的薄膜,观察颜料颗粒在特定厚度下首次显现的现象,从而确定涂料的细度值。实际测得的数值反映了涂料中粗粒子的最大尺寸,刮板细度计读数示意则用于具体测量和判断。

*The fineness of the paint indicates the degree of dispersion of the pigment contained in the paint in the paint, and it also detects whether the paint contains impurities that affect the smoothness of the appearance of the paint film. 

* The fineness is small, which can make the coating smooth and even, which not only plays a certain role in the gloss, appearance, hiding performance and decoration of the coating, but also is beneficial to prolonging the protection life. *The fineness is too fine, which not only prolongs the grinding time, occupies the grinding equipment, but also affects the adhesion of the paint film. 

* In my country, the fineness of primers is currently required to be no greater than 50 μm or 60 μm, and the fineness of alkyd, amino and other decorative topcoats is not greater than 20 μm, and some varieties require less than 15 μm. 

*The roughest part of the coating is destroyed preferentially, so that the entire coating is gradually aged and destroyed, so the fineness of the primer is lower, while the fineness of the topcoat is higher. 


*The detection of fineness is to spread the paint into films with different thicknesses, and observe at what thickness the pigment particles appear, which is called the fineness of the paint. 

*The actual measured value is the size of the largest solid particle in the paint, indicating the degree of coarse particles. *Coarse particles are not the size of individual pigments or extender pigment particles, but the size of agglomerates that exist after the pigments are ground and dispersed during the production process of the color paint.
