A material used to wear away a surface by rubbing. Examples of abrasives
are powdered pumice, steel wool and sand paper.
– The ability of one
material to stick to another.
– The mechanical bonding
of a coating to a rough surface.
– A first coating,
which is intended to isolate later coatings from the substrate.
– An ingredient or combination
of ingredients that are used to hold pigment particles together.
– A coating’s ability
to dry over a void or a crack in wood.
– An agent used in
many coatings, which causes a reaction. Without catalysts, many coatings
would be less durable.
– Small cracks that
develop on the finishing, usually due to environmental conditions.
– The attraction of
particles within a coating.

– Marking, scratching
or gouging a finish for a more antique look.
– A raised bump on
a painted surface due to dust particles that have dried into the paint.
More often than not, dust nibs may be removed by compounding and sanding
the finish.

that uses electric current to apply paint onto a product. Electrocoats
are admirable for their ability to coat more complex parts and shapes.
– The temperature
at which a finish will ignite when exposed to an open flame.
– The process
of using abrasives on a painted surface to create a smooth finish.
– An additive
that reduces the gloss of a finish.

with the paint coating to promote the cure of resins.
– The ability
of a given finish to resist scratch and rub marks.

that have metal flakes in their makeup.
– Airborne particles
that stick to a finished surface. Examples of overspray include unwanted
paint particles, chemical contaminants and other airborne particles.
– The raw colorant that
gives paints and stains their tones.
– A blend of components
that are made to eliminate minor surface imperfections, including small
or fine scratches, small amounts of oxidation and water spots.
– The surface onto
which a paint coating is applied.

a finish or coating while in a liquid state.
– A coating or finish
