coating materials
 Identify different application in construction painting
INTRUDUCTION
In this unit of competency covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes
in the application of intermediate coat and top coat paints and familiarize
and their respective uses.
If you're inexperience in this field as a painter, it can be a bit tricky to learn

the different types of paint that can be used both internally and externally.
Once you've got a good understanding of the different types of paint, then
you'll be able to ensure the best paint finish possible.

Revision # 01
Intermediate top coat- coming between two things in time, place, order,
character, etc. Between middle mid,midway, halfway, median,medial or
intermediary
What does Top Coating mean?

Top coating is a transparent or translucent coat of paint applied over the underlying
material as a sealer. In a paint system, the topcoat provides a resinous seal over the
intermediate coats and the primer. The first topcoat may in fact penetrate into the
intermediate coat, thus providing the coating system with an impervious top surface.
The topcoat is the first line of defense of many coatings against aggressive agents.
Top coating is used to provide:
 Resistant seals for coating systems

 Initial barriers to the environment
 Resistance to chemicals, water and weather
 Toughness and wear resistance to the surface
 Pleasant appearance
Steps on intermediate and top coating
Step 1
Learn the purpose of primer.Primer is used to cover porous surfaces, to
provide a barrier between the surface and the remaining coats, so that
the paint is not soaked up by the surface. Typical porous surfaces it is
used on include: new plaster, bare wood, unpainted metal, etc.

NC II Page 9 of 40
Revision # 01
Steps 2
Learn the purpose of undercoat.Undercoat is used over the primer. It's
the coat to add before you add the main color. Depending on the brand
purchased, it may be specially tinted or have certain protective
properties you need for the surface or area being painted. Most paints
require undercoat even if primer has not been needed. Some types of
paint may claim that there is no need for an undercoat but generally it
ensures a smoother finish if used.
Steps 3
Decide on your paint type.There are different types of paint that you
can apply and each one will provide a specific kind of finish:
Water based paint: This paint tends to be used for walls and
paints a flat surface. It can also be used for other painting work,
as indicated by the container instructions. The great thing about
this paint is the ease of clean-up - simply wash out with water.
This paint is often low VOC (volatile organic compounds) these
days, making it easy on your respiratory system.

NC II Page 10 of 40
Revision # 01
Stain or semi-gloss paint: This provides a sheen finish. It is best
used to highlight specific features or rooms. It's also suitable for
high traffic areas. It can be either water-based or oil-based. If oil-
based, you'll need to take greater effort cleaning up afterward.
Gloss: Gloss paint is hard-wearing and is usually used for wooden

areas such as skirting boards and window surrounds. This one is
usually oil-based and requires mineral turpentine to wash the
brushes.
Non-drip. This is an alternative to gloss. It has a gel-like consistency

and it won't drip when using, making it a great choice for painters who
find this aspect of painting troublesome.

NC II Page 11 of 40
Revision # 01
Different types of paints and their Uses
Latex Paint
Thins with water: Spills, spatters, brushes, rollers, etc. cleaned with warm,
soapy water.
Dries faster than oil base paints. Most can be re-coated within four hours.
Low odor. No solvent smell.
Easy to apply.
Use with nylon or polyester brush (not pure bristle), polyester or synthetic
roller covers (not lambs wool) or flat applicators. (The natural bristles and
lambs wool absorb water in the paint and become soggy.)
Has flat to high gloss range.
For interior or exterior use, depending upon product.
Latex paint can be applied over oil based paints. When painting over a semi-
gloss or gloss surface, dull the old paint with sandpaper or a dulling solvent
first.
Avoid using latex paints when surface is above ninety degrees or below forty
five degrees. High temperatures may evaporate the paint too quickly and
cause poor flow for an uneven finish. Low temperature may prevent it from
forming a uniform film that will also create an uneven finish.
Check weather forecast to be sure that rain isn't expected before the latex
paint has had a chance to set-about two to four hours.
Most latex paints can be stored for at least two years without the risk of
deterioration. However, exposure to extremes of heat or cold may shorten
the paint's storage life. Severe, prolonged or repeated exposure to freezing
temperatures could cause separation in the can. Stir to bring back the
correct consistency.
Oil base Paint

Thins with solvents such as mineral spirits or turpentine. Brushes, roller
covers, and other tools to be cleaned with solvent, not water.
Dries slower than latex paint. Waiting overnight to re-coat is necessary.
Higher odor level than latex during application and drying.
Use pure bristle or polyester brush or lambs wool or polyester roller.
Has flat to high gloss range.

NC II Page 12 of 40
Revision # 01
For interior and exterior use, depending upon product.
Varnish
Solutions of resins in a drying oil. Contains little or no pigment.
Dries and hardens by evaporation of the volatile solvents, oxidation of the

oil, or both.
Recommended for both outdoor and indoor applications where a hard,

glossy finish is needed for weather protection.
Enamel
Basically a varnish with pigments added. Same basic durability and
toughness of a good varnish.
Produces easy-to-clean surface.
In proper formulation, can be used for interior and exterior. For the highest
quality interior work, an undercoat is required.
Shellac
Long-standing favorite for finishing wood floors, trim, and furniture.
Apply in dry, warm air to avoid clouding.
Dries dust free in fifteen to twenty minutes.
Can be used as a pre-staining wash coat to obtain even stain tone on porous
or soft wood such as pine.
Can change tone of an already shellacked surface by tinting with alcohol-

soluble aniline dye.
Instead of re-staining, pigmented shellac (also called shellac enamel) can be

used as a sealant over stained finishes for a uniform, freshly-painted
surface.
Sheen
FLAT. Lusterless, non-shiny appearance. Most often used on interior walls,
exterior body or walls of homes and commercial buildings, and associated
with interior and exterior stains.
EGGSHELL. Slightly higher than "dead" flat. Is usually an enamel paint.

Most often used on interior and exterior walls and on doors and trim.
LO-LUSTRE. Low sheen or "satin." Slightly higher than eggshell, but lower
than full semi-gloss. Popular interior enamel sheen. Most often used in
kitchens, baths, and on interior doors and trim as it's resistant to marking,
easy to clean, and more washable than most flat latex.

NC II Page 13 of 40
Revision # 01
SEMI-GLOSS. Midway between flat and high gloss. Associated with enamel
paint and most often used in kitchens, interior doors and trim and exterior
siding and trim. Very resistant to marking and easy to clean.
GLOSS/HIGH GLOSS. Very shiny appearance. Enamel paints. Used on

interior and exterior surfaces. Popular for furniture, toys, floors, exterior
doors and trim. Resists marking and easy to clean.

INTRUDUCTION
In this unit of competency covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes
on proper handling of painting tools and identify and to check the condition
of the tools and equipment.
In addition to top-quality application equipment, you may need some of

the painting tools and painting materials listed below in order to
successfully complete your painting project. If you are like many
homeowners, you already own some of these items. Depending on the
nature of your painting project, you may consider investing in over the
edge works better because it's easier to load the cover, it's easier to move
around, and you're less likely to trip over it or step in it. And if you need to
take a break, you can just cover it with a damp towel to keep the paint from
drying.

Revision # 01
Painting Tools and Materials
Here’s a list of essential tools and materials to help you get

started on your next painting project:
 Step ladders and extension ladders – to help you reach elevated areas
• Paint scraper – to remove loose or peeling paint from wood, plaster,
and  other surfaces
• Triangular-load scraper – to remove paint in small or tight areas
• Steel wool – to remove corrosion from metal surfaces
• Bristle brush – to clear loose material from masonry
• Wire brush – to remove efflorescence and loose material from
masonry, or to remove loose, flaking paint
• Putty knife – to scrape away loose paint, or to apply filler

• Broad putty knife – to fill in and smooth patching compounds in
plaster and  wallboard
• Glazing compound – to replace cracked, broken, or missing panes of
glass
• Spackling paste – to fill nail holes and small imperfections in walls
• Long-handled brush – to clean large exterior surfaces
• Scrub brush – to remove mildew and dirt
• Sandpaper (various grits) – to smooth and feather previously painted
surfaces, or to roughen glossy surfaces so paint will adhere better
• Sanding block – to hold sandpaper and help you sand surfaces to an
even finish
• Caulking gun – to apply caulk to cracks in walls, gaps, and seams in
woodwork, and the junction of different surfaces (e.g., wood siding and
stone)
• Tubes of caulk – same as above (note that all-acrylic and siliconized
acrylic caulks are paintable; silicone caulk is not)
• Masking tape – to protect window panes and trim from paint
• Paint guide – to protect carpets and walls when painting baseboards
and other trim
• Roller tray and grid – to load rollers with paint

NC II Page 20 of 40
Revision # 01
• Brush comb – to clean paint brushes
• Paint pail – to mix ppaint and carry it to the worksite
Drop cloths – to protect furniture, floors, and shrubbery from paint
Putting on emulsion with a roller is the quickest way to cover a large surface
area. But do bear in mind that you may need more coats than when you
paint with a brush, because the paint goes on quite thinly. You'll also need
to finish the areas that the roller can't reach with a brush.
You can buy roller sleeves in a variety of sizes and textures. Choose a short-
pile sleeve for a smooth wall surface or a shaggy sheepskin style for a more
textured surface.
If you're using a roller, you should apply solid non-drip emulsion (which
comes in a tray). The paint actually liquefies as you use the roller, which lets
it absorb the right amount of paint.
Step 1
Pour the emulsion paint into the paint tray reservoir - it should be about a
third full. Dip the roller sleeve into the paint and roll it firmly up and down
the tray's ribbed incline to spread it evenly. Make sure you don't overload
the sleeve; otherwise the paint will splatter everywhere.

NC II Page 21 of 40
Revision # 01
Step 2
Move the roller over the wall surface, using random strokes with a light,
even pressure. Try not to work too fast or you'll create a fine mist of paint
spray. Every time you dip the roller into the paint, move it to the next
unpainted area and work your way back to the painted area in overlapping
strokes. That way, you'll blend in the wet edges.
A putty knife is a very efficient tool that enables you to apply putty to
various types of surfaces and holes. If you want to make sure you're using
your putty knife correctly, read on to learn everything you'll need to know.
Step 1 - Apply Putty to Your Knife

Before you can start applying putty to your desired surface, you must make
sure to properly apply it to your putty knife. When performing this step, take
care to spread the putty evenly across the blade of your putty knife. Make a
point of not putting too much putty on the blade.
Step 2 - Apply Putty to Your Surface

When applying putty to a hole or surface, make sure to spread it in a
smooth, even fashion. If you encounter any ridged or uneven areas of putty,
gently smooth them out with the blade of your knife.
Also, try not to apply too much putty at once. If necessary, you can always
apply additional coats of putty, so make sure not to rush through the
application process.
Health and Safety Guidelines for Painting

In industry, the most popular method of applying paint is to spray it on,
using compressed air, a high velocity airless spray or an electrostatic
applicator. Paint can also be applied with brushes. The material itself is
the primary hazard when painting. Painting may expose you potentially
dangerous chemicals which may damage your health. This guide outlines
some of the hazards associated with painting and provides information on
how to work safely while painting.
Choose paint materials with safety in mind. Never use materials which are
unlabeled their contents cannot be determined. Always follow the safety
recommendations for the material being used.
Health hazards

NC II Page 22 of 40
Revision # 01
Overexposure to a substance means too much has been breathed in,
swallowed or absorbed through the skin. The possible effects of
overexposure to paint and the chemicals it contains vary according to the
type of paint. Some health problems caused by overexposure to paint
material are:
 drowsiness;
 dizziness/light headedness;
 disorientation;
 nausea/vomiting;
 eye and throat irritation;
 dermatitis;
 general allergic response such as hives;
 asthma-like wheezing with tightness in the chest;
 heavy metal poisoning (lead, chromium, nickel and cadmium); or
 nerve, kidney or liver damage.
A wide variety of ingredients are used in paints and thinners. These
chemicals are not found in all paints, but you have probably come into
contact with some of them at one time or other. The following is a list of
common ingredients of paints and thinners:

NC II Page 23 of 40
Revision # 01
Pigments
white lead
 red/brown iron oxide
 chromium oxide
 iron blue
 cadmium yellow
 lead powder
Solvents – thinners
 toluene
 xylene
 carbon tetrachloride
 perchloroethylene
 iopropyl alcohol
 cyclohexanol
 n-amyl acetate
 methyl ethyl ketone
 cyclohexanone
 methylene chloride
Resins
 isocyanates (contained in urethane resins)
 epichlorohydrin (contained in epoxy resins)
You may already be familiar with the paints you use regularly, but do you
know their possible harmful effects? Ask for the Materials Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) (see below) for each paint. These are available from the
manufacturer or paint supplier. The MSDS will describe the possible
hazards and what precautions are needed. All of the above listed
ingredients have standards for worker exposure.

NC II Page 24 of 40
Revision # 01
Spray Painting Safety
Spray painting is a common and effective way to protect and beautify parts,
products, vehicles, and buildings. Spray painting allows coverage of large
areas with even coats of primer, paint, sealers, and other coatings. However,
workers in spray painting operations need to recognize and guard against
the hazard associated with spray painting processes.
Hazardous chemicals in coatings and solvents can enter the body several
ways. Workers can inhale chemical vapors from spraying, absorb the
chemical by skin contact or inject the chemical with high pressure spray
painting equipment.
As proper ventilation is important when working with paint coatings, a spray
booth is an excellent way to remove spray paint vapors and debris from a
worker’s breathing zone. Many coatings contain flammable substances that
are aerosolized when sprayed through powered equipment and without
proper ventilation, such as in a spray booth, these vapors can build up and
create an explosion and fire danger. But to provide maximum protection, the
spray booth must be properly maintained, including regular cleaning of
filters and overspray. And to prevent sparking a flammable substance,
smoking and other sources of flame near spray painting operations should
be prohibited and tools should be properly rated and grounded for work in a
spray painting area.
Because much of the equipment used for spray painting and surface
preparation uses compressed air, workers should be aware that noise can be
a risk, so should wear hearing protection when working with air powered
tools.
How to Control Health Hazards
Following a few sensible rules can help to reduce exposure to chemical
hazards.

NC II Page 25 of 40
Revision # 01
Environmental Control
Whenever possible, painting or priming operations should be done in a
spray booth or room. These areas have been designed to reduce exposure to
paint vapors and additives – use them correctly. You should make sure that
the ventilation in the spray booth or room is adequately maintained and
working properly.
Before using the spay booth or room:
 turn on the ventilation system,
 check the spray booth filters and change if necessary, and
 turn on the make-up air unit.
When painting in an enclosed space (a room):
 provide outside ventilation air with fans or open windows,
 turn off ignition sources like wall heaters
When painting:
 follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions,
 avoid using plastic drop cloths on the floor (slip hazard)
 never point a spray gun at yourself or anyone else,
 position yourself so the piece you are spraying is between you and the
exhaust fan,
 do not over spray, and
 use appropriate personal protection.
Personal protection
One positive step you can take to ensure continuing good health is to use
personal protective equipment. Here is a brief description of some of the
protective equipment available.
Respirators
Two types of respirators, the air-purifying and the atmosphere supplying,
are commonly used in spray painting. IMPORTANT – you MUST use the

NC II Page 26 of 40
Revision # 01
correct type of respirator for the job being done and the chemicals being
used.
The air-purifying type of respirator should be used only during exposure to
those specific chemicals, or groups of chemicals, described on the respirator
cartridge. These cartridges are good only for a limited time and must be
replaced with new ones when:
 you can smell vapors in the mask,
 they become difficult to breathe through, or
 they have been used for their specific lifetime.
The atmosphere-supplying type of respirator must be used in some paint
spraying operations, particularly with urethane paints or when painting in a
confined space e.g. inside a tank.
REMEMBER — whichever respirator is used, it must FIT properly to ensure
adequate protection (check the manufacturer’s instructions). Respirator
maintenance and cleaning is important. No one wants to use a dirty, leaky
respirator which has been worn previously by someone else. Keep your
respirator in good condition by cleaning and sanitizing it regularly. Store it
in a clean place. Check it for pliability and signs of deterioration before you
wear it. If the respirator needs repair, use only the manufacturer’s
recommended replacement parts. With a little thought, and a small amount
of effort, your respirator will protect you for a long time.
Eye and Hearing Protection
Without good eyesight you cannot do your job properly — so why risk eye
damage, or loss of eyesight from solvent spray or splashing. Wear your

SAFETY GOGGLES to protect your eyes from paint materials as well as the
particulates created during sanding and grinding.
Some painting equipment such as grinders and compressors create loud
noise. Hearing protection is required when noise levels exceed 85 db.
Protective clothing

NC II Page 27 of 40
Revision # 01
Some of the chemicals you work with can injure skin or cause dermatitis.
Coveralls and gloves prevent these chemicals from coming into contact with
your skin, reducing the risk of damage. Wear your coveralls and gloves
whenever working with chemicals. Clean your gloves and wash your
coveralls regularly to prevent chemicals from accumulating, especially
around the cuffs where they can easily come into contact with your skin. As
an additional protective measure, use BARRIER CREAMS on your hands,
face and neck. Check to make use you have the correct barrier cream for the
chemicals being used.
Fire and explosion hazards
Because of the danger of fire and explosion where paints which contain
flammable solvents are being used, care should be taken to remove all
potential sources of ignition before starting work. This means naked flames,
cutting and welding torches, gas fired heaters and materials which may give
off sparks, whether electrical, mechanical, friction or static, and there must
be no smoking. Make sure the correct types of fire extinguishers are
available at the work site.
REMEMBER different types of fires require different types of extinguishers.
IMPORTANT: Flammable materials are required to be stored is flammable
materials storage cabinets. Many Paint and solvents are flammable
materials.
Dust and Preparation
Many painting projects require preparation of the materials to be painted.
Preparation often involves sanding of the surface which creates a health
hazard if dust masks are not worn. Ideally dust collection systems should
be used to prevent large amounts of small particulates from entering the air.
Sanding and scraping of old paint may hold additional hazards if the old
paint contains lead.
Things to do and not to do before painting
 DO Post “No Smoking” and “No Welding” signs
 DO Remove portable lamps and heaters from the area
 DO Make sure painting is done away from naked flames, sparks, non-
explosion proof motors or any other source of ignition.

Revision # 01
 DO Check the ventilation system to make sure it is on and working
correctly.
 DO Electrically ground all spraying equipment
 DO Make sure approved respirator, eye goggles and any other
protective equipment required for the job are worn
 DON’T Smoke
 DON’T Take more paint out of the store room than you can use in one
day.
What is the purpose of an MSDS?
The purpose of an MSDS is to inform you of:
 The material’s chemical make-up.
 The material’s physical properties or fast acting health effects that
makes it dangerous to handle.
 The level of protective gear you need to wear to work safely with the
material.
 The first aid treatment to be provided when someone is exposed to the
material.
 The preplanning needed for safely handling spills, fires, and day-to-
day operations.
 How to respond to accidents.
What information is on the MSDS?
There are 9 categories of information that must be present on an MSDS.
These are:
 Chemical Identity
 Health Hazard Data
 Manufacturer information
 Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
 Hazardous ingredients
 Exposure controls/personal protection
 Physical and chemical properties
 Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
You should always know the hazards of a material before you start using it.
For most people who work with a material, there are sections of the MSDS
that are more important than others. You should always read the name of
the material, know the hazards, understand the safe handling and storage
requirements, and understand what to do in an emergency.

Revision # 01
Ladder Safety
Ladders are commonly used for painting. Ladder safety begins with
selecting the right ladder for the job and includes inspection, setup, proper
climbing or standing, proper use, care, and storage. This combination of
safe equipment and its safe use can eliminate most ladder accidents.
Always check a ladder before using it. Inspect wood ladders for cracks or
splits. Inspect metal and fiberglass ladders for bends and breaks. Never use
a damaged ladder. Tag it "Defective" and report it to your
supervisor/teacher.
When setting up a ladder, make sure it's straight and sitting firmly on the
ground or floor. If one foot sits lower, build up the surface with firm
material, don't set it on boxes, bricks or other unstable bases. Lean the
ladder against something solid, but not against a glass surface. Make sure
the ladder is placed at a safe angle, with the base away from the wall or edge
of the upper level about one foot for every four feet of vertical height. Keep
ladders away from doorways or walkways, unless barriers can protect them.
Keep the steps and rungs of the ladder free of grease, paint, mud or other
slippery material. And remember to clean debris off your shoes before
climbing. Always face the ladder when climbing up or down, using both
hands to keep a good grip on the rails or rungs. Never carry heavy or bulky
loads up a ladder. Climb up yourself first, and then pull up the material
with a rope or bucket.
Many ladder accidents occur because of slipping or skidding. You can
prevent these accidents by equipping the ladder with non-slip safety feet,
blocking its base or tying it to a sound, permanent structure.
Overreaching is probably the most common cause of falls from ladders. A
good rule is to always keep your belt buckle inside the rails of a ladder.
Don't try to move a ladder while you're on it by rocking, jogging or pushing it
away from the supporting wall.

NC II Page 30 of 40
Revision # 01
When you've finished the job, properly store the ladder so it won't be
exposed to excessive heat or dampness and will be in good condition for the
next time.
Solvents
Solvents are so common in many work places that workers forget how
dangerous they are. A solvent can be generally described as a substance,
usually a liquid, that is used to dissolve another substance. Although
solvents can be used safely, health problems can result from skin contact
with solvents or from inhalation of their vapors. In addition to the health
hazards, many solvent vapors are flammable and explosive.
One of the most common health hazards associated with exposure to
solvents is dermatitis. Contact dermatitis can develop from a single or from
multiple exposures. It can leave the skin susceptible to a short-term
infection or to a chronic condition. Exposure can also result in sensitization
to the solvent, which is a delayed allergic reaction that often becomes more
severe with subsequent exposures.
One big danger with solvents is that they can cause trouble before you
realize what’s happening. Depending on the type and concentration of the
solvent, exposure effects can range from mild respiratory irritation to severe
damage to body organs and systems. In extreme cases, overexposure to
solvent vapors can cause respiratory failure and death.
When working with solvents, it’s important to know what solvents are being
used and what steps should be taken to protect against harmful or
dangerous exposures. To optimize safety follow these suggestions:
 Know what solvents you’re working with.
 Read the labels and the material safety data sheets of the solvents.
They list the hazards, health effects, and safe handling procedures.
 Make sure the workspace is properly ventilated.
 Use recommended gloves, eye and face protection, boots, other
protective clothing, or barrier creams as required.

NC II Page 31 of 40
Revision # 01
 If respiratory equipment is used, make sure it gives appropriate
protection for the exposure.
 Take care when pouring solvents from one container to another, as
fire or explosions can occur from static electricity buildup.
 Clean up solvent spills promptly.
 Never wash your hands with solvents.
 Prohibit welding, cutting, soldering, and other sources of ignition in
areas where solvents are used.
 Store flammable solvents in well-ventilated areas constructed of fire-
resistant materials.
 Ground and bond all tanks and equipment for storage.
 Install readily accessible fire extinguishers in storage and work areas.
As with other toxic substances in the workplace, the preferred methods of
hazard control are substitution of a less toxic substance in an operation,
local exhaust ventilation, and enclosure.
