Coatings are a widely used material on the surface of objects, which can form a continuous and uniform thin film on the surface of objects, playing a role in protection, decoration, and identification. Coatings are usually composed of film-forming substances, pigments, solvents, and additives, among which film-forming substances are the main components of coatings, determining their performance and application range.
Paints are a type of coating, which is a general term for non-solvent oil-based coatings with medium or high solid content in organic solvents. Paint is mainly composed of pigments, oils, solvents, and additives. Its performance and application range are similar to coatings, but paint usually has richer colors and glossiness, suitable for various decoration and protection needs.
Paints and coatings play a crucial role in the decoration and construction industry. They not only have protective and decorative functions but also endow objects with special properties and effects.
