Acrylate polymer

An acrylate polymer (also known as acrylic or polyacrylate) is any of a group of polymers prepared from acrylate monomers.

See Automotive paint and Acrylate polymer

Acrylic resin

Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate is a typical acrylate resin. An acrylic resin is a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substance typically derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and acrylate monomers such as butyl acrylate and methacrylate monomers such as methyl methacrylate.

See Automotive paint and Acrylic resin

Automotive industry

The automotive industry comprises a wide range of companies and organizations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of motor vehicles.

See Automotive paint and Automotive industry

Car

A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels.

See Automotive paint and Car

Chain-growth polymerization

Chain-growth polymerization (AE) or chain-growth polymerisation (BE) is a polymerization technique where monomer molecules add onto the active site on a growing polymer chain one at a time.

See Automotive paint and Chain-growth polymerization

Chromium

Chromium is a chemical element; it has symbol Cr and atomic number 24.

See Automotive paint and Chromium

Condensation polymer

In polymer chemistry, condensation polymers are any kind of polymers whose process of polymerization involves a condensation reaction (i.e. a small molecule, such as water or methanol, is produced as a byproduct).

See Automotive paint and Condensation polymer

Dispersion (materials science)

In materials science, dispersion is the fraction of atoms of a material exposed to the surface.

See Automotive paint and Dispersion (materials science)

Enamel paint

Enamel paint is paint that air-dries to a hard, usually glossy, finish, used for coating surfaces that are outdoors or otherwise subject to hard wear or variations in temperature; it should not be confused with decorated objects in "painted enamel", where vitreous enamel is applied with brushes and fired in a kiln. Automotive paint and enamel paint are paints.

See Automotive paint and Enamel paint

Environmental issues

Environmental issues are disruptions in the usual function of ecosystems.

See Automotive paint and Environmental issues

Environmental law

Environmental laws are laws that protect the environment.

See Automotive paint and Environmental law

Fordite

Fordite, also known as Detroit agate or Motor City agate, is a lapidarist term for polished pieces of finely-layered paint masses from automobile factories.

See Automotive paint and Fordite

Homogeneity and heterogeneity

Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.

See Automotive paint and Homogeneity and heterogeneity

Interpenetrating polymer network

An Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) is a polymer comprising two or more networks which are at least partially interlaced on a polymer scale but not covalently bonded to each other.

See Automotive paint and Interpenetrating polymer network

Iridescence

Iridescence (also known as goniochromism) is the phenomenon of certain surfaces that appear gradually to change colour as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes.

See Automotive paint and Iridescence

Lacquer

Lacquer is a type of hard and usually shiny coating or finish applied to materials such as wood or metal. Automotive paint and Lacquer are paints.

See Automotive paint and Lacquer

Monomer

A monomer (mono-, "one" + -mer, "part") is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization.

See Automotive paint and Monomer

Original equipment manufacturer

An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is generally perceived as a company that produces parts and equipment that may be marketed by another manufacturer.

See Automotive paint and Original equipment manufacturer

Paint

Paint is a material or mixture that, when applied to a solid material and allowed to dry, adds a film-like layer. Automotive paint and Paint are paints.

See Automotive paint and Paint

Polymerization

In polymer chemistry, polymerization (American English), or polymerisation (British English), is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.

See Automotive paint and Polymerization

Polyurethane

Polyurethane (often abbreviated PUR and PU) refers to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links.

See Automotive paint and Polyurethane

Radical (chemistry)

In chemistry, a radical, also known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron.

See Automotive paint and Radical (chemistry)

Robot

A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer—capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.

See Automotive paint and Robot

Salt spray test

The salt spray test (or salt fog test) is a standardized and popular corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings.

See Automotive paint and Salt spray test

Step-growth polymerization

In polymer chemistry, step-growth polymerization refers to a type of polymerization mechanism in which bi-functional or multifunctional monomers react to form first dimers, then trimers, longer oligomers and eventually long chain polymers.

See Automotive paint and Step-growth polymerization

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

See Automotive paint and Ultraviolet

Vitreous enamel

Vitreous enamel, also called porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between.

See Automotive paint and Vitreous enamel

Volatile organic compound

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature.
