The important role of paint grinding fineness

2024-09-05

The grinding fineness of paint is one of the important qualities of color paint, which has a great impact on film forming quality, film gloss, durability, storage stability of paint, etc., and is one of the routine testing items of paint production. The fineness of the paint refers to the size of the particle size or the uniformity of the dispersion of the pigment or the bulk pigment, and the unqualified index is easy to cause the rough appearance of the coating film, the occurrence of powder and fall off. The value measured in the fineness test is not the size of a single pigment or bulk pigment particles, but the size of the condensation that exists after the pigment is ground and dispersed during the production process of the color paint. The measurement of grinding fineness can evaluate the degree of qualification of grinding in the production of coatings, and can also compare the rationality of different grinding procedures and the efficiency of the grinding equipment used. The main reasons for the failure of the fineness project are the problems of the grinding production equipment, the problems of the production process and the problems of no filtration inspection of the finished product.
First, the fineness of paint grinding affects the optical properties of paint film. The hiding power and coloring power of the pigment depend on its dispersion in the film layer, the higher the dispersion, the larger the surface area of the pigment and the paint contact, the more fully the pigment plays the role in the paint, the greater its coloring power and hiding power. The finer the color paint is ground, the smoother the film will be prepared, and the higher the gloss of the film will be.

Second, the effect of grinding fineness on the durability of the paint film. Usually the industry experience that the maximum size of the pigment particles should not exceed the thickness of the dry film formed once, if the pigment particles are greater than the thickness of the dry film, the surface of the paint film will show a rough and uneven state, which on the one hand will make the paint film luster decline, and because the pigment particles bulge on the paint film, under the external wind and sun erosion or mechanical force, These protruding particles are more likely to fall off from the paint film, leaving fine pinhole defects on the surface of the paint film, and therefore the water permeation gradually changes to the corrosion-prone center, thereby affecting the durability of the paint film and reducing its protective effect on the substrate.

Third, the effect of grinding fineness on the storage stability of color paint. The paint with fine pigment particles and good dispersion degree is not easy to precipitate and caking during its long-term storage, thus improving the storage stability. However, it should be noted that the grinding fineness of the pigment is not the pursuit of the finer the better, an increase in production costs, the second will also make the adhesion of the film decline, should be based on the different varieties and uses of the paint, the reasonable choice of its grinding fineness. For alkyd, amino decorative requirements of higher enamel, the regulation of grinding fineness is not more than 20μm; For various primers, considering the adhesion performance requirements, the grinding fineness is generally about 50μm.
