This video explains about the general testing and evaluation (quality control) of paints. The paints are tested at two stages; during manufacturing of paints and before packing of paints. To maintain the stability in products there should not be batch to batch variation for which testing is done. There are some general test performed on regular architectural (house and building) paints and there are some testings used for specific application of paints for example paints used in marine atmosphere, industrial atmosphere, automobile paints, paints for home appliances, fire retardant paints etc.

This video has been designed to educate the people about Basics of Paint Technology. It depicts the raw materials used in paint manufacturing, formulations and manufacturing of paints. It would benefit the semiskilled and skilled workers working in paints and allied industries. The Undergraduate and Postgraduate students including the students of polytechnic colleges would get remarkable benefit from the video. The second part would cover : type of Paints, testing & evaluation of Paints and application of Paints.
