Paints and varnishes are products that are used to coat and paint a variety of surfaces. They are a special solution in the form of a suspension, and when applied to the surface to be painted form a kind of coating with certain qualities. They are among the most popular building materials and are involved in the repair of any complexity, in various finishing works. Paints and varnishes are divided into many types:
- Various adhesives.
- Putties.
- Paints.
- Primers.
- Enamels, etc.
Classification number of paints and varnishes
The production of paints and varnishes implies that a person who decides to open a business is well versed in the classifications of these materials.
- The main materials that are the most common on the market of building and finishing materials are varnishes, which leave the painted coating transparent.
- Secondly, the paint, which forms a coating of different colors. By the composition of the paint can be oil (in their composition there is a drying oil) and water-dispersible.
- Thirdly, enamel.
- Fourth, primer and putty.
- How semi-finished products use the intermediate category: this includes drying oil, which helps the surface dry as soon as possible.
- Resins, solvent paints and varnishes.
Business organization for the manufacture of coatings
The production of paints and varnishes is currently very profitable and cost-effective. However, as in any other work, a business plan must be clearly and correctly organized. It is believed that the business of producing water-dispersed materials is the most attractive and interesting direction in this area.
Their production has more than a hundred years of history. Such paints and coatings have gained the greatest popularity in the West, since in Russia for a very long time nothing was produced except glues and paints of terrible quality.
Dispersion paints are more environmentally friendly, less harmful to health and very easy to use, so they are used even by beginners in repair work. Since the modern construction market is just beginning to develop this type of paint, the business of producing them in Russia can be very successful and promising.
Recommendations for organizing a business project
The main issues that you should pay attention to when organizing your business are the following:
- Production room.
- Necessary and high-quality raw materials.
- Equipment for paint and varnish production.
- Developed technology for production.
An important condition will be the analysis of the market in which you plan to work, that is, you need to conduct a number of marketing research. It is also necessary to consider when you get your first profit, and calculate the cost of the resulting product. For good and high-quality work, you need to find a room for production that will be heated.
Its area should be at least 25 m2There should be a sufficient level of voltage and constant access to tap water. Many arrange a base for the production of coatings in their garage, and in the summer they install the necessary equipment on the street. It is also necessary to take into account that it is necessary to initially spend about 250 thousand rubles to purchase high-quality raw materials: various additives, pigments, thickeners and other components.
In addition, the costs of incremental costs should be considered.This is the payment for the rented premises, for electricity and water, and the wages of workers, and much more. But, given the profit that you will receive, the production of paints and varnishes is undoubtedly very productive and promising. It is only necessary to have an initial capital of about 500 thousand rubles.
LKM production technology
Currently, there are a wide variety of modern production technologies. Technological lines for the production of paints and varnishes are offered by various production companies.
Firstly, it is a line for the production of materials with low viscosity, the mixer performance of which can reach thousands of kilograms per hour. These include a variety of impregnations, primers. Such a line includes: a mixer with a volume of 1 cubic meter, a line, a special system that controls the continuous supply of water, cleaning primary filters, a pump for polymer dispersion of particles, three pumps for modifiers, a weighing platform with electronic sensors and a main control panel for the entire technology. Such a production line will cost about 160 thousand rubles.
Secondly, a line is proposed based on the production of low-viscosity materials and materials with an average degree of viscosity. These are paints, varnishes, various primers and so on. Such a line will cost a little more - about 165-180 thousand rubles.
A third kind of production line will be a putty production line. Its cost is 135 thousand. There are many more options.
The production of paints and varnishes, in principle, is simple and consists of the following stages. First, pour water into a special bowl (deja), then turn on the minimum speed. Then all components are loaded, then chalk and titanium dioxide are added. In the future, emulsification of the resulting mixture occurs and packaging in the necessary containers.
Equipment and materials for coatings
The production of paints and varnishes requires the purchase of good equipment. Creating such equipment is no less promising and profitable. Various types of varnishes, paints, putties, enamels and so on remain the most popular materials among builders of various categories.
Currently, the production of paints and varnishes in Russia is gaining momentum, and for it, of course, equipment is needed. Therefore, there is no competition as such in this area yet. Equipment for paint and varnish production can be the most diverse. It can be bead mills - submersible and ball, a variety of mixers.
Raw materials for the production of coatings
For correct and high-quality work in the production of paints and varnishes, you need to select and purchase the necessary and high-quality primary raw materials from which semi-finished products will be made in the future, and as a result, finished paints and varnishes. Typically, small companies buy ready-made semi-finished products immediately and simply complete the process of processing paintwork.
The necessary raw materials are a variety of fillers, pigments of different colors, binders and thickeners. The initial purchase of such raw materials will be approximately estimated at 150-165 thousand rubles. The rest of the costs (about 40 thousand) will be spent on the necessary packaging and containers for finished products.
Types of paints and varnishes
Paints and varnishes are classified according to their state of aggregation into liquid, powder and pasty. They create a special coating on the painted surface, and as a result the surface acquires decorative and protective functions. All paints and varnishes are divided into three categories.
- The main materials include paint, enamel, putty and primer. Such materials leave the painted surface transparent.
- Intermediate materials include resins, drying oil, solvents, and so on.
- And the third category is made up of mastics, various washes and hardeners. Fillings fill various roughnesses and smooth a repaired surface.
Currently, a certain type of colorful materials - latex paint - is gaining popularity.
Latex paint
Such materials are water-based. This is a fairly versatile and standard paint, another plus of which is that it is easy to clean. It is used in the repair of both external and internal finishing work. The next advantage of latex paint is that it is easy to dilute it with water, and the tools that repairmen work with are just as easy to clean with a simple soap solution.
This paint is more environmentally friendly, does not have toxic properties and does not have a pungent odor. This smell gradually dissipates when the painted surface begins to dry, however, as with other colorful materials, the room must be well ventilated. Latex paints are more resistant to high temperatures, fire and fading.
This makes it possible to use them in various exterior facade works. Another advantage over other paints is that latex dries quickly within an hour. Due to their unique structure, they are very firmly bonded to the painted surface and resistant to various natural influences. Therefore, building your business on the sale of this material, you will certainly win.
Production of varnishes and paints
Currently, on the Russian market you can find many organic materials: paints, primers, solvents and various water-dispersible materials. Of the total volume of paint and varnish products in the chemical industry, approximately 3% is the production of varnishes.
Today, almost the entire Russian market of paints and varnishes is owned by small enterprises, and large organizations are not even loaded at half their capacity. The essence of the organization of the line for the production of coatings is that in special bead dispersants, each individual pigment is dispersed in the varnish itself. The result is pigmented paint.
The principle of production of pigmented paste is slightly different. It is made on mixers that constantly work and set in motion bead mills, where the necessary pigments are fed. Enamel production takes place in mixers, where dosed enamel is supplied by a dosing device. In the future, the finished enamel is cleaned of impurities and packaged.
Primer production
A primer is a type of paint and varnish materials that relate to suspensions of various pigments with special fillers. They are applied as the first coating layer and provide a good connection of the next coat of paint with the surface to be painted. There are many types of primers: moisture resistant; protecting against corrosion and preventing the appearance of rust on the metal.
Primer production is a process in which both natural and chemical substances are used. In the creation of the primer involved drying oils, various resins of alkyd origin and so on. Many primers, like paints, contain a variety of pigment substances or natural fillers, such as calcium, talc or mica.
Equipment for the production of primers includes a special dispersion spray dispenser; a filter for the primary purification of incoming water, as well as syringes - dispensers for the remaining components - modifiers.
Putty production
The manufacturing process of the putty is quite simple, and some repairmen create it right at the workplace.For the manufacture it is necessary to have chalk, glue, copper sulfate, latex and sulfael. All these ingredients are mixed in one container, and then transferred to special equipment, which brings the resulting mixture to the desired consistency.
There are many types of fillers, so you need to choose them taking into account the technical characteristics. Attention should be paid to the structure and type of the surface being treated and how this type of putty will behave at various temperatures.
Enamel Production
Enamel in the modern market of building and finishing materials is one of the most popular paints and varnishes. This is due to the fact that it very easily lays on the surface to be painted, after drying it creates a solid film, which subsequently has a diverse texture and decorative advantages. Enamels can be oily, nitrocellulose, alkyd and so on.
In the first place in demand are alkyd enamels. They are most often used for internal repair work: for painting furniture, appliances, floors and other elements in the house. The advantage of nitrocellulose enamels is a wide selection of colors, they have a more pronounced gloss, similar to glossy. However, under the influence of natural factors, such an enamel can easily fade and crack.
findings
As already noted above, the manufacture of paints and varnishes is an excellent area where you can organize your business and, undoubtedly, lead the market in building and finishing materials. Whatever business you want to open, production of equipment for paintwork, production primers or other types of coatings, the main rule is the proper organization of a business project and high-quality primary raw materials. As a result, having spent the initial capital of about 500 thousand rubles, you can get the same amount every month!
