Question

Plasticizers are used in paint to
dry the oil film
provide elasticity
maintain viscosity
give colour​

Answer 1

Answer:

PAINT AND COATING FORMULATIONS OFTEN incorporate high boiling fluids as plasticizers where rigid or brittle resins fail to meet toughness and flexibility requirements. The primary function of the plasticizer is to impart flexibility to the resin, thus minimizing film cracking.

Answer 2

Plasticizers are used in paint to provide elasticity.

• The plasticizers are additional supplements that are added to paints to improve the elasticity of the coatings of paint.
• This helps in avoiding cracking of paint films and coatings and makes it flexible which enhances durability.
• These additives are odourless and colourless and are usually referred to as phthalates.
• Such chemicals are developed by causing chemical reactions and one of them is ATBC.
