    This document describes a Labview simulation of a paint manufacturing process. It discusses the key components of paint including pigments, resins, solvents, and additives. The main pigments used are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Resins act as binders while solvents control viscosity. Additives modify properties. The manufacturing process involves mixing raw materials, milling for dispersion, blending, filtering, and packing. A Labview GUI was created to virtually visualize and control the plant by monitoring levels and valve/pump indications. The conclusion states the simulation successfully designed different process units with additional monitoring and control capabilities.

    Experiment Title:

    Simulation of Paint Manufacturing Process using Labview.

    Prof. Gargi Mam

    Presented By:

    Introduction
    Paint is one major segment of the surface coatings, which
    also includes varnishes, enamels, printing inks and
    polishes.

    The paint industry produces a huge variety of products


    that protect, preserve, and also beautify the objects to
    which they are applied.

    Typical products include architectural coatings (e.g. house


    paints), industrial coatings (e.g. automotive finishes, wood
    furniture and fixture finishes), and special purpose
    coatings (e.g. traffic paints, roof coatings).

    Basic composition of paint

    Solvents (Liquids)

    Pigments
    Additives

    Resins (Binder)

    Prime Pigments
    Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)

    Provides excellent hiding power and whiteness.


    Available as a solid (powder) or liquid (slurry).

    Zinc Oxide

    Controls mildew
    Resists ultra-violet light
    Resists yellowing

    Titanium dioxide is the world's primary pigment for


    providing whiteness, brightness and opacity.

    Resins
    Binds or glues ingredients (pigments and additives) of
    paint together.
    Resin provides adhesion to the substrate.
    Resin provides durability & resistance properties:

    U-V resistance
    Moisture resistance
    Chemical resistance
    Stain resistance
    Fade resistance
    Chalk resistance
    Block resistance

    Fillers
    Fillers are a special type of pigment that serve to thicken
    the film, support its structure and simply increase the
    volume of the paint.

    Fillers are usually comprised of cheap and inert


    materials, such as talc, lime, clay, etc.

    Solvents

    The main purpose of the solvent is to adjust the viscosity


    of the paint.

    Water is the main vehicle for water-based paints.


    Solvent-based paints can have various combinations of
    solvents as the vehicle, including aliphatic, alcohols, etc.

    These include organic solvents such as petroleum


    distillate, esters, glycol ethers, and the like.

    Additives
    Additives are mixed in very small amounts and yet give a
    very significant effect on the product.

    Additives are used because:


    Modify surface tension.
    Improve flow properties.
    Improve the finished appearance.
    Improve pigment stability.
    Control foaming.
    Control skinning.

    The Manufacturing Procedure


    1. Raw material: Resin, pigment and additive agents are

    generally major components of paint.


    2. Mixing: Resin, pigment and solvent are mixed to

    produce an even mill base.


    3. Milling: Mill base produced at the pre-mixing process

    is sent to the disperser to finely disperse the pigment


    particles.

    4. Blending: Resin, additive agents and so on are added to

    the mill base, the dispersion of which is completed.


    Also, the color phase is adjusted with color materials.
    5. Filtering: Blended and toned paint is filtrated.
    6. Packing: Filtrated paint is packed into a container.

    Industry:

    Labview Simulation
    GUI (Graphical User Interface) of paint manufacturing

    process has been created using Labview.


    With the help of Labview whole plant can be virtually

    visualized.
    Process can be controlled and monitored i.e level monitoring,

    valve indications, pump indications, etc.


    Front panel & block diagram are easy to handle.

    Conclusion
    It is concluded that with the help of labview and its various
    tool box different units of paint manufacturing process has
    been designed. With an additional monitoring and controlling
    the level of various tanks & controlling of mixer, valve &
    pump indications.
