Paint Storage Problems - Paint Separation
|
|
|
Paint and pigment separate into two parts during storage, resulting in a clear portion of paint in the upper part of the can.
|
CAUSES:
|
|
|
Prolonged storage in excessive temperatures. | |
|
|
|
|
|
Paint accidentally mixed with a different paint type. | |
PREVENTION:
|
|
|
Store the paint in a dark, cool place, 68 °F (20 °C) or below. If it is stored for a prolonged period, invert the can occasionally. | |
|
|
|
Do not return paint diluted with reducer/thinner to the original can. | |
|
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
Stir up the paint thoroughly before reuse.
