Introduction!

I am Mesh born Uchenna Moses Meshach. I have been into paint production for a long time and since my father was a paint dealer I learned paint making at an early time. We run a paint production company and I can tell you it’s something anyone who has an interest can do.

Going by the number of houses and other structures in Nigeria, it is certain that you can never run out of business if you go into paint production in Nigeria in whatever level you may need to start.

The demand for paint production is on the increase. Everyday offices, banks, homes, etc are being painted both new and renovated houses inclusive. There is hardly any house that is not painted these days, so the market is there for any aspiring entrepreneur. You must not be a yahoo boy to make money. You can start little and within a year or two you should be doing well.

There are so many kinds of paints. We have Emulsion Paint, Textcoat paint, Satin paint, Oil paint, POP paint, Gloss paint(sometimes called oil paint), Flexcoat paint, Matt paint, Car paint paint, Marine paint and so on.  But the most common ones are emulsion, satin, texcoat and oil paint. You can start your home-based paint production with as little as N 200,000. The raw materials are readily available in the Nigerian market.

You don’t need any expensive equipment to produce paint; you only need some buckets (Big Plastic Drums) and your two hands to do the mixing. What is left for you to do is to penetrate and capture the market by producing good quality paint which I will teach you.

Hence, for a small scale business, it might require you to have at least half plot of land for the production environment after a successful registration of your business name and the approvals from standard organization of Nigeria, S.O.N. with a minimum number of five employees you can fairly begin the production.

Though, with just two people paint production can be due based on the scale of production in a room space environment especially for a very small beginner.

In order to survive the cloaking dominance of the market leaders in the industry, new start-ups can map out their self-sustaining market strategy. While some could afford to distribute in the open market to compete amongst others, some may solely depend on personal contact and placing of orders before embarking on production.

Be it as it may, You need to know how paint production works. This is why we designed this course to expose to the public the ease that is involved in paint making. I will try as much as possible to demystify paint production making it easy for an absolute beginner.  You must not be a yahoo boy or do all kinds of rituals to make money. Paint production is one way to make millions in a short time if you take it serious. Without talking so much below are all you need to know about paint production.

Functions of the chemicals used in paint production

NB: For you to get the ratio for all the chemicals and how and when to put it see this post.

1. Water

Water comes first and is used to mix all the chemicals together. You need clean water with normal water temperature. You don’t really need the water to be hot. It can be in any temperature but it has to be a clean water. Make sure you don’t let detergent into any water you want to use.

2. Silicate

Silicate is a whitening chemical in powdery form. Silicate is used mostly in white paint. It makes white paint very bright like a lightening white. Just get that sense of brightness is what you get when you add Silicate. Buy it especially if you want to produce a white paint.

3. Tithern

Tither is used for coverage. It help the paint to cover the wall. Sometimes there is what we call Caolin which is a cheaper replacement.

4. Calcium

Calcium is needed in almost all the paint you will produce. Its in powdery form and packaged in white bag mostly written CalCo. Check very well to know if its complete 50kg especially if you are going to buy in bag. Any company is ok as long as its complete measurement.

5. Colorant

Just like its called, colorant is the chemical that determines the color of the paint. This is easy but also difficult part in paint production especially if you are producing paint for sale.

To get colour there are ratios that are taken from primary colors and combined to form another colour. This is tricky in the sense that if you miss the exact ratio you will end up not producing the colour you wanted. You dont need to worry about this anyway as you will be given the exact ratio for whatever colour you want to get.

Colours can be found in paste and oxide. In most cases its better to use oxide for outside as it hardly fades. Paste colorant is easier to mix as you can put it anytime you want to get your desired result but in oxide you will need to mix it in water before ever putting other chemicals. We shall cover how to mix the paints to get particular result. But for now just know that colours can be found in paste or oxide.

The colur which is readily available in the market is primary color which includes yellow (we painters call it cream), Red, Black, Blue, and Green. All other colours are gotten from a combination of one or two of these colours. We will work with primary coulour and mix 2 or more to get our desired result.

CAUTION: There is something I must point out here. Although we explained more on it on the paid Manual we nee to say that if you are using oxide you must dilute it well to avoid having dotted stains as you roll it on the wall. If you dont mix well before other chemicals you will end up spoiling the whole processes as you can never escape that mess.

6. P.V.A.

P.V.A is a must in paint production. Its nothing but gum. Its the main thing that makes the paint durable. There are different type like emulsion p.v.a and acrylic. Acrylic is more costly and better as it lasts better than emulsion gum. You must have seen where paint wash off from the wall which is fondly referred to touch and follow. Its as a result of inaccurate usage of this P.V.A.

The ratio of this P.V.A in paint is very important. Most big companies lack how this should be used and thats when buy paints from this big companies  that dont know how it works it ends up washing off in 3 to 6 months time. It is very important that you pay attention to it and follow the ratio we give you in the Manual.

7. Formalin

Formalin is a chemical that acts as preservative. It protects the paints from spoiling. Sometimes if you buy paint in the market and open it you will notice one bad smell. This is as a result of inaccurate usage of this preservative chemical. I do not really use formalin as it harsh but most people prefer it because its cheaper than other preservatives we mentioned in the Manual.

8. Nitrosol

Nitrosol is a thickening agent that helps to hold the paints together. When you use it with the accurate ratio it gives you the best in wall. Too much will spoil the paint. Some thickener are bad that you will end up with a caked paint in the bucket you use to mix it and it will just turn to block immediately. There are great ones that gives you time to mix well before it reacts.

9. Ammonia

Ammonia is good and used for preserving the paint also but too harsh. You need to learn how  and when to use it. Most times I use it when I want to work on paints that has spoilt and needs to be reproduced.

10. Hydrosol

Hydrosol is used to lift the face of your paint and bring the best shining part of the colour. Not everybody uses this but you can use it especially if you want to stand out from others. It all boils down to what you want for your product.

11. Marble dust

Marble Dust comes in when you are producing Texcote paint. Texcote paint are the rough types. There are rough and smooth Marble dust and this sometimes I merge the two to get inbetween texture on the wall. The texture that is not rough and is not smooth.

12. Acrytext

Acrytext acts as thickening agent also that holds  the watery paint together. The usage is important if you want to make your paint more efficient.

13. Geniple

Geniple is used to make up for the paints to have a cool fresh scent while during the application. It hides every smell from the chemicals used in paint production and only refreshing the painter with sweet and fresh air.

14. K14

K14 is a preservative which are options you can use to preserve the paint for a long duration. It is important to preserve your paint with a good preservative. Some people loose customers especially when your paint spoils quickly. So you have to go with the correct measurement in ratio so you wont have a bad start. I detailed every ratio you need in the Manual.

15. Bama cork

Bama Cork is another thickener just like nitrosol. There are other great ones too which you can use to thicken your paint.

16. Antifungi

Antifungi prevents fungi from growing on the wall. Its important for paints that will be used outside the fence of the house. You must have seen those greenish things on wall. You can prevent that with Antifungi.

17. Caolin

Caolin acts as coverage. Its mixed the same time with Calcium. It does the same work that Tithern does which is mostly for coverage on the wall. When this is used in the normal ratio it will help save you sometime in painting as it helps painters do their painting in just one hand that may not require second rolling.

18. Calgum

Calgon is a hardener.

19. Buffer

Buffer is used to break particles in paint. It help to break things during the mixture easily and its immediatly applied after putting calcium or Caolin.

We have really talked much about the chemicals and I believe you have learned all the functions. You can always learn more from the MANUAL. Now lets jump in to paint Production of all type.

Steps to making Emulsion Paints

Emulsion paint is more popular and easy to produce. We will take you step by step on the material you need to make your emulsion paint as well as other types of paints like texcote. We included all the measurement for all types of paint in the Manual >> https://onuahia.com/paint-production-manual-65 << but for now make sure you follow the order as we listed below to make emulsion paint. The chemical and measurement for producing emulsion paint.

S/N	CHEMICAL	MESUREMENT	REMARK
1.	Water	For paid readers
2.	Tithan	For paid readers
3.	Calcium	For paid readers
4.	Color	0.5 kg
5.	P.V.A	For paid readers
6.	Nitrosol	For paid readers
7.	Genipule	0.5 kg
8.	Antifungi	For paid readers
9.	Ammonia	For paid readers
10.	Acytext	For paid readers

Caution you must take: please the chemicals must be added in the order I have given you. If not you may have problem for example if you put ammonia before Nitrosol, the paint will get blocked. And again if ammonia drops in Nitrosol, the Nitrosol will block. More so, when formalin is poured into ammonia it will explode. The only time you can add ammonia before Nitrosol is when you are turning on machine speed. Just be careful.

For Large Quantity Production: multiply the ratio above the number of litres you want to produce.

HOW TO GET DIFFERENT COLORS FROM PRIMARY COLOURS

Every company has its own color chart. So you have to make your own unique. They only way to do it is to have specific measurement in kg of the quantity of colours you are adding per bucket of paint.

This is the only way to make is professionally.

The Table below may guide you.

Note: for the case of primary colours, the quantity you add determines the forms of that family. Example if you add 1kg of yellow, you get cream 30/40, if you add 0.4 kg of same yellow to the same solution it will give you off-white paint. It is the same with red, and other primary colours.

Target colour	Combination 1	Combination 2	remark
Green	Yellow	Blue
Orange	Yellow	Red
Purple	Blue	red

 

You can also have a closer look on the colour wheel for guidance. 

Paint Chart you can use as guide to your final output.
