Terms related to Decorative paints

◆Primer
The first coat of paint. It is also called base coat or primer paint. The aluminum mirror surface paint developed by our company has the feature of not requiring a primer.
◆Topcoat
It is a coating film that protects the outermost surface. Also called overcoat, its durability varies depending on the paint used.
◆Ink-jet method
Also called an inkjet coater, this coating method is based on the mechanism of an inkjet printer. Droplets of coating material are dispersed and applied to the object. It is characterized by its ability to apply fine patterns and low material loss.
◆Dyes
A colorant that is soluble in solvents. Because they are soluble in solvents, it is relatively easy to create new colors, but colors fade when exposed to light for long periods of time.
◆Pigment
A colorant that does not dissolve in solvents. Compared to dyes, they have better resistance to light and heat.
◆Organic Paint
It is a paint made of a compound containing synthetic resins. Because it contains resin, it has a certain degree of elasticity and is resistant to cracking.
