Paint can be defined as a mixture of separate ingreedients, including binding agents, pigment, VOC & additives, which when applied on a surface in a thin layer forms a solid dry adherent film after oxidation/evaporation/polymerization.

A quality paint should be resistant to atmospheric conditions, washable, corrosion resistant,. and give the surface a glossy appearance after it is applied. It should resist the corrosive effect of sun, wind, rain, frost, and other natural elements to protect the surface to which it is applied.

The binding agent binds the pigment, fillers, & additives together. It also helps adhesion and influences gloss and durability. Typical binding agents include alkyds, polyurethanes, epoxy, and polyesters.
