Theory

We strive to be your partner by strengthening your market position, both through technology and theory. On the following pages you will find six basic theories that are involved in paint production.
To keep things interesting, please see the Flash movie clips for each theory section by clicking on the icons below to view the details.

Basic Principle of Wetting
The wetting process is a central feature of paint production. This part focuses on the physical and chemical theory of wetting.

RMPC Concept
The Resin Minimal Pigment Concentrate “RMPC” concept gives industrial paint manufactures advantage of the efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Surface Control
Surface control additives are used in the coating industry to prevent surface defects during paint application and improve resistance and appearance of the dry film.

Dispersion Technology
Dispersion technology is a lot of science and application know how! But also a lot of fine art of the creative chemist and paint formulator!

Defoaming Technology
During the production and application of paint systems, foam is an undesired side-effect. This part gives you the theory of defoaming technology.

FAME Technology
Fatty Acid Modified Emulsifiers FAME improve the color acceptance of universal colorants in the base paints.
