Pigment
It is a colorful soft coating material that is made up of organic or non organic substances. Characterized as:
• The ability to add color and a protective coat to any surface.
• Paint pigmentations are non toxic.
• Resistant to rust and erosion, light and high temperature.
Binder Materials
Binders are those elements that tie in the different components of paint with one another. Binders are made up of polymers and are responsible for ensuring that paint in fact sticks to the surface it is applied to. When using varnished paints it is the binding materials that in fact give these types of products their shiny effect.
