Paints and Paints: Terminology to be regulated.

China Coatings Network
News: The topic of
coatings
and
paints
" has been talked about for many years, but still has not a unified, scientific and standardized definition. The industry's understanding of "paint" and "paint" has always been the same, but in the terminology provisions of national standards, there is only "paint" term standards, and no "paint" or "paint" terminology standards. Outside understanding of "paint" and "paint" is not like the industry, they often separate the two, think that "paint" is different from "paint", is two different types of products. Two distinct perceptions of the industry and the outside world not only cause confusion about the nature of commodities, but also cause confusion about the nature of the industry. What's more, some local governments strictly control "paint" as flammable and explosive dangerous goods, while "paint" is not managed as dangerous goods. So some new manufacturers drill policy empty, clearly produce solvent-based paint, but when the factory was named "
paint factory
", but named "
paint factory
" or "special
coating company
" and so on, this is really because of the confusion of basic concepts caused by the management loopholes. Experts think that the definition of terminology is an important basic work, accurate and scientific definition of "paint" and "paint" nouns, especially in today's China has its necessity, only the definition of science, norms has a broader guiding significance. Although the expert does not agree with society, the "paint" and "paint" are disassembled into two different types of products, but also think that there are shortcomings in the definition of national standard terminology, from the "paint and paint" nouns of the historical evolution, their properties, as well as authoritative versions of the annotations for interpretation and discussion, and finally put forward the definition of "paint", "paint", "paint" terminology.
on the concept of "paint and paint". Called paint originated in the early days, this material can not be separated from vegetable oil and large paint, "paint" the word is a thick historical culture. With the continuous development of science and technology, the paint industry continues to grow, variety categories are also constantly innovative. The word "paint" has appeared in the 1950s, the industry calendar for the "paint" and "paint", but on the same material different titles, the difference is that the two names use different occasions, there seems to be a common usage. From the 1950s to the 1960s to the 1970s, the industry understood "paint" as a colloquialism and "paint" as a commonly known one. So at that time, the term "paint", somewhat with some academic taste, seems to be only available in research units, such as "paint research institute" or "paint research room." At the same time, the production enterprises are generally referred to as "paint factory", "paint factory" or "paint factory", but not called "paint factory". It is interesting that the names of these factories often have some laws, where the Northeast, North China paint production enterprises, are called "paint factory", such as Tianjin paint factory, Shenyang paint factory; In short, paint production enterprises do not use the name of the paint, like more consciously do not "offend" its elegant. The confusion between the names "paint" and "paint" began after the 1980s. With the emergence of
building coatings
products, the word "paint" began to come out of the academic hall, but also because architectural coatings are mainly water-based products, so the word "paint" was thus misinterpreted by society, mistaken for "paint" is water-based, "paint" is oily.
the impact is so wide that it is unlikely to be corrected in the short term. So how does the authoritative version define "paint" and "paint"? National Standard (GB5206.1) In the basic terminology of the color paint and varnish vocabulary standard, "paint" is defined as the general term for a liquid or solid material applied to an object surface that can form a solid coating film with protective, decorative or special properties (e.g. insulation, corrosion, marking, etc.). Most of the early to vegetable oil as the main raw materials, so there are: paint: called. Synthetic resins have replaced vegetable oils in most or all of them, so they are called "paints". Note: In the specific paint variety name can be used "paint" word to represent "paint", such as toned paint, thick paint and so on. For the above definition of the expert put forward a different view: "so called 'paint', and not only because the standard said that the synthetic resin has replaced vegetable oil in large part or all", now this category of materials is called paint, not paint more is due to the development of paint varieties and categories, because the "paint" name has not covered all similar products. And the word "paint" can cover all industries, all kinds of product varieties and categories of development, because the "paint" name has not covered all similar products, and "paint" can cover all kinds of products in the industry, the use of "paint" name will be more accurate and more scientific. For
powder coating
no suitable for the use of "paint" title, "paint" and "paint" are not interchangeable here. Because as soon as people mention "paint" or "paint", it is natural to think of items that are flowing, sticky, and liquid. This understanding of "paint" has been widely accepted and is deeply rooted.
the concept of "paint" can be both solid and liquid. Therefore: "paint" can cover solid powder and liquid "paint", and replacement can not. Therefore, the interpretation in the Standard is not very good. In addition, the national standard "paint" terminology note: that is, "in the specific paint variety name can be used 'paint' word to represent 'paint', such as toned paint, thick paint, etc.", which also seems to be somewhat inappropriate. Because the word


"paint" is not only used in


"specific paint varieties", but also a large number of coating categories, such as acrylic paint, polyurethane paint and so on; In fact, except in individual cases, the words "paint" and "paint" are common, it does not specifically refer to "in specific varieties" can be expressed. In addition, the Global
Coatings Network
understands that the basic terminology of national standards for color paint and varnish vocabulary includes, in addition to the term "paint", terms such as varnish, varnish, magnetic paint, primer, paint, etc., but can not find a term for "paint" or "paint". It should be said that "paint" or "paint" is the sum of these "color paint", "varnish", "magnetic paint" and many other words, the general term, should be listed, not listed is not appropriate. No definition of "paint" was found in the national standards. The "Chemical Dictionary" (2nd edition) notes on "paint" as: "The type of artificial paint." Usually refers to mucus-like coatings that contain dry oils and pigments or both. Applied to the surface of the object, oxidized, polymerized or condensed, etc. , can be dried or dried into a tough protective film, play waterproof, anti-corrosion, rust-proof..." It seems that such annotations are a bit old, the table is not accurate and complete.
the concept of "paint", or "paint", should be properly revised. "Paint" in China has thousands of years of history, after long-term development from the use of natural oils, large paint, asphalt, to the use of vegetable oil and a variety of chemical raw materials chemistry, synthetic preparation of phenolic paint, aleate paint, amino paint, to the use of pure chemical raw materials synthetic poly Ammonia resin paint, acrylic paint, epoxy resin paint, polyester resin paint and other synthetic resin paint, to the 1970s formed China's main
film substances
based on the 18 categories of paint product classification. It should be said that the paint classification in that period has been very systematic, paint products have been rich and diverse. Although there were
latex paint
at that time, there are water-soluble coatings, powder coatings, but
water-based coatings
and powder coatings after all, the output is still very few, varieties are very limited, they have not yet formed a climate, solvent-based coatings in a unique position. The concept of "paint" and "paint" is consistent and has not yet been affected. After the 1980s, with the latex paint, and polyethylene alcohol series-based architectural coatings, with the emergence of "paint factory", it seems that "paint" and "paint" represent different products, the original unified concept was alienated, in the folk is redefined. In society, shopping malls appear "paint" is water-based, "paint" is a solvent-based term. Although it is wrong to break down the original similar materials of "paint" and "paint" into two distinct categories of products, it is not suitable to define the two exactly the same. It is necessary to define the terms "paint" and "paint" as appropriate.
The reason for the need for correction is that: "paint", "paint" of the surface characteristics are liquid, it can not cover the existence of solid coatings in addition to liquid coatings, since the scope of coverage is different, so if the concept of "paint" and "paint" is difficult to explain the same; About 40%, "water-based" and "oily" chemical characteristics have essential differences, "water-based paint" and "oil (sex) paint" product properties are also very different, then if the "water-based paint" as a "paint" industry as a large branch of the understanding is unscientific, "water-based paint" and "oil (sex) paint" should be listed as two different series of liquid paint. It is suggested that in the basic terminology standard, not only the standard of "paint" terminology should be appropriately amended, but also the existing term standard of "paint", "oil (sex) paint" and "water-based paint" should be added. They can be defined as coatings: coatings: coatings that form a class of liquid or solid materials with protective, decorative or special properties (e.g. insulation, corrosion, marking, etc.), including oil (sex) paint, water-based paint, powder coatings; Including oil (sex) paint and water-based paint; paint (oily paint), organic solvent as a medium or high solid, solvent-free oily paint, most of the early to vegetable oil as the main raw material, so it is called "paint", water-based paint: can be dissolved with water or dispersed with water paint. In short, interpret coatings and paints and suggest changes to terminology standards.
