CEMENT BASED

PAINTS
• INTRODUCTION:

Cement paint is water based

paint(SAMOSAM). Cement paints are
covered under Powder Paints which are
used for exterior cemented walls, all types
of masonry surfaces like Bungalows,
Multistoried buildings, Bridges, Dams,
Houses, Buildings of General Public, etc.
and can also be used for Interior as well as
exterior masonry cemented surfaces.
• PROPERTIES
• A wide range of colours and shades in cement paints have
been developed and manufactured.
• Cement paint gives very good protection to all kinds of
masonry surfaces from Ultraviolet rays present in sunrays.
• It gives very good protection from severe climatic
conditions like rain, heat, water, humidity, salt atmosphere
near sea-shores, to all types of cemented walls, surfaces.
• It’s easily available in market at an average cost of 27 TO
20 Rs/kg
• It prevents growth of fungus and bacteria on masonry
surfaces.
• It gives very good colour and pleasing appearance to
all types of masonry surfaces.
• Cements paint hides out various surface irregularities,
hair lining, roughness etc. thereby giving smooth and
matt finish.
• The process and technology being simple, this item is
suitable for development in rural and backward areas.
• It is hygienic and an excellent light reflector, requires
minimum curing with water, without peelings, flaking
or rubbing offs.
• MARKET POTENTIAL
The demand for cement paint is
increasing tremendously for its
inherent weather resistance property
combined with cost factor. There is a
substantial demand for Cement Paints
from Government sectors like , State
PWDs, CPWD, Railways, Defence
various contractors, architects and
engineers.

 • TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Process of Manufacturing: Cement Paint is a mixture of Portland or white
cement and lime with additions of mineral extenders, accelerator and
water repellant substances.

Formulation is as follows;

• White / port land cement 50-60%

• Lime 10-15%
• Calcite /Titanium Dioxide 10-15% White Cement
• China Clay 10%
• Calcium Chloride 2 - 5%
• Calcium /Aluminium stearate 5- 10%
• Alkali Resistance Pigment - 5%

• MANUFACTURING
• Process the ingredients in powdered form are
weighed and charged in the ball mill for grinding and
mixing property. After obtaining the desired fineness,
the products are packed in drum or any suitable
container.
• In the manufacturing of Cement Paints Ball Mills and
Edge Runner are used. All the pigments/extenders
and some portion of binder with dispersing agents as
per formulation are charged in the Ball Mills and run
till the desired grinding/dispersion is achieved
• The ground material is taken out with the help of the
rest portion of binder to the Edge Runner machine.
Again it is grinded and mixed uniformly. Anti-
fungicides and other required additives as per
formulation are added here. Again grinded and
mixed uniformly. Then shade matching is done in
comparison with the colour card of manufacturer or
as per the requirements of customers. Then quality
control testing is done to achieve the required
properties. After quality control testing is O.K. It is
packed into containers or bags as per the
requirements.

 PRECAUTIONS TO BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE
APPLYING THE PAINT
• Water to be added just before use
• Necessary to mix the paint from time to time while
using it.
• Cement paints are mainly used over the plastered
surfaces.
• Do not apply cement paint on surfaces which are
already treated with whitewash, color wash and dry
distemper unless the surface is thoroughly scraped
and cleaned properly.
 • PROCESS OF PAINTS
• Prepare the surface
• Clean the surface
• The surface must be cleaned of
mortar droppings, dirt, dust,
grease and other foreign matters
such as growth of molds, algae,
moss by brushing and washing.
Efflorescence deposits must be
cleaned also
• Repair the patches
• Clean existing paint/whitewash
• After the first coat is set at least Worker applying Samosam
• Benefits of cement paint

• Economical
• Better performance for outdoor protection and decoration.
• Available in various colors and can match up with any shade.
• Has matt finish, an inexpensive way to cover large areas
such as cellars and garages.
• Maintains good look for many years despite exposure to
worse environments.
• No chance of drying it up since its available in powder form
which is mixed into water before application
• COMPARISON
Water proof cement paints
• Cement Paint is a mixture of
Portland or white cement and
lime with additions of mineral
extenders, accelerator and
water repellant substances.
• It’s available in powder form.
• It’s easily available in market
at an average cost of 27 TO 20
Rs/kg.
• In local language is called as
SAMOSAM.
Distemper
• Distemper paint is an ancient
type of paint made of water,
chalk, and pigment
• It’s available in liquid form.
• It’s easily available in market at
an average cost of 45 Rs/litre.
• Distemper is also called as
cement paint.
 CONCLUSION
• Cement paint is an inexpensive building material
which is easily available in the market. It provides
good protection and finish to the surface. Also, it is
highly cost effective and have a great potential of
growth in small scale industries in India.
