Paints

Paints are liquid or primed coatings that are applied to surfaces to add color, protection, and sometimes texture. Composed of pigments (for color), binders (to hold the pigment together and adhere to surfaces), solvents (to make them spreadable), and various additives (for durability or special effects), paints create a finished layer that shields surfaces from damage, weather, and wear. They are used indoors and outdoors on walls, furniture, and infrastructure, enhancing aesthetics while providing functional benefits like preventing rust or mold. Different types of paints are formulated for specific materials and conditions to achieve optimal performance.
