Latex paint production in slurry process

摘要

Two-stage latex paints production process are very common in Canada and the US. It involves preparing a suspension of pigments and reinforcements in water with additives in the dissolver. The suspension prepared in this way is pumped into let-down tanks with very large capacity, e.g. 5000 gallons (18,927 L).The suspension in this way is usually used immediately for paint production. It is added to another tank containing latex, and the process is called "let-down" or "egalization".
