Abstract

Paint has always served a dual purpose—decoration and protection. Modern usage has introduced a third requirement, that of providing an efficient reflecting surface. Decoration demands that the paint film, whether light or dark, maintain its original color; protection demands that the paint film maintain its integrity and adequately preserve the surface it covers, while reflection demands that the paint film be white or a light tint to reflect heat or light rays efficiently.
