$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\bigstar {\mathcal{\orange{Answer}}}}}}}$

Characteristics of Ideal Paint:

• It should possess good spreading or covering power, as it determines the cost.

• When applied to the surface, paint should form a thin film of uniform nature.

• The colour of the paint should withstand the adverse environmental conditions such as rain, heat, wind, etc. for a long time.

Answer 2

Characteristics of Ideal Paint:

01. It should possess good spreading or covering power, as it determines the cost. An ideal paint should have the capacity of covering maximum area with minimum quantity. Always check the brochure of the paint given by the manufacturer for coverage information.

02. When applied to the surface, paint should form a thin film of uniform nature.

03. The colour of the paint should withstand the adverse environmental conditions such as rain, heat, wind, etc. for a long time. The colour should not fade or change over its intended life.

04. Paint should have such a consistency that it could be easily applied with a brush or spraying devices.

05. Paint should adhere well to the surface to which it is applied. It should possess maximum adhesion capacity to the material over which it is intended to be used.

06. It should have an attractive and pleasing appearance.

07. Its initial cost must be fairly cheap and it must prove economical over the long run.

08. The surface of the paint should not show cracks after drying. It should be elastic. i.e. must be able to withstand change in temperature. The temperature variation between maximum & minimum temperature ranges during day and night is on an average 20o C. As a result, the wall, plaster etc. either expand or contract. During such expansion/contraction, the paint film must not break or crack. It must be elastic enough to withstand stretch due to expansion/contraction.
