The given diagram illustrates the paint-making process. As can be seen, it is a man-made process that involves seven stages, beginning with the mixing of raw materials and ending in delivery.
Firstly, raw materials such as solvents, oils, resins and tints are pumped from a tank farm and pre-mixed with pigments in a different tank. A metering deck is used to measure the quantity and proportion of each element.
When the base is formed, it is then placed on a mill to ensure that all the components are properly mixed. At the same time, the let-down process combines the rest of the raw materials in a different tank. Then the mill-base is added to the let-down by stirring and paint is formed. This phase can be repeated in case the paint has not resulted as expected.
Upon obtaining the final composition, paint of different colours is dispensed in separate cans by a filling machine. Once the canning process is completed, the cans are labelled accordingly. Finally, the cans of paint are packaged in cartons, ready to be shipped and delivered to customers.
