Paints and Pigment 
Manufacturing
Plant

Paint is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is transformed to an opaque solid layer. Paints provide protection, colour and texture to objects. The products of the paint manufacturing industry are categorized according to their application, the type of solvent used in manufacture, and the method of curing. The use categories are architectural coatings, product coatings for original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and special purpose coatings, as follows:

  • Architectural coatings are paints used to coat interior and exterior surfaces, 

  • OEM coatings include paints which provide the first coating on newly manufactured equipment and products,

  • Special purpose coatings are paints formulated to meet specific use requirements such as extreme temperatures or heavy wear.

Market Size of Paints & Pigment

The paint industry volume in India has been growing at 15% per annum for quite some years now. As far as the future growth prospects are concerned, the industry is expected to grow at 12 to 13% annually over the next five years.

Ingredients used in Paints & Pigment Manufacturing

  • Vegetable oils

  • Pigments (Titanium dioxide, chrome colours, whiting, litharge, lithopone, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate precipated etc., organic color pigments, lakes and toners)

  • Solvents (Hyrdrocarbons like toluene. xylene etc, alcohols, ketones and esters)

  • Resins (Alkyds, Acrylics, Vinyl etc.)

  • Thinners

  • Additives (Thickeners, driers, biocides, surfactants, antifoams, dispersing agents, catalysts)

High Shear & High Viscosity Mixing Technology
for Paints & Pigment Manufacturing

High-shear mixers or high-shear homogenizers are used to produce standard mixtures of ingredients that do not naturally mix. This industrial machinery disperses, or transports, one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (liquid), with which it would normally be immiscible. A rotor, together with a stationary component known as a stator, or an array of rotors and stators, is used in a mixing tank containing the solution to be mixed, and in a pipe through which the solution passes, to create shear. A high-shear homogenizer mixer is used to create emulsions, suspensions, lyosols (gas dispersed in liquid), and granular products. It is used in the food, pharmaceutical, adhesives, chemical, cosmetic, and plastics industries for emulsification, homogenization, particle size reduction, and dispersion.

Key design factors in the high shear mixers include the diameter of the rotor and its rotational speed, the distance between the rotor and the stator.

Advantages of United Group's Paints & Pigments Plant

Our High-speed homogenization paint manufacturing plants provide a simple, quick, and relatively inexpensive means of distributing easy-to-disperse pigments in conventional solvents on a batch processing basis. This technology is also capable of handling all phases in the preparation of paints and pigments (i.e., preassembly and premix, pigment grinding and dispersion, and product finishing) in one piece of equipment. In addition to its dispersion abilities, the high-speed homogenizer can be used in premix and blending (postmix) operations.

Another advantage is the comparatively low initial capital investment and

low maintenance costs. 

  • Short Batch Times

  • Consistently High Product Quality

  • Excellent Homogenization

  • Rapid Emulsification

  • User-Friendly Operation

  • Used to Manufacture a Wide Range of Product

  • Stirrer and Dispersion Device with Speed Control

  • Prevention of Lump Formation & Clumping

  • Controlled Dosage Rate

  • Suitable for Highest Viscosities

  • Long-time Stability of Emulsions

  • Fine Particle Size Reduction
