How is paint
affected by temperature changes? |

Introduction
You may have noticed blisters
on painted surfaces that are very close to an electric or gas heater.
Blisters are not the only affect of heat on paint! Some paints will become
extra dry and crack or peal off when exposed to the heat. Paint applied
to certain products and certain areas need to have a higher
resistance to heat. Chemists often need to test the resistance of
different paints to high temperatures in order to determine the
usability of certain paints for certain applications.

Project
description
In this project you will study the effect of heat on one type of paint
of your choice. Design experiments to test how the physical properties
of the paint are affected by heat. Physical properties such as color,
texture, adherence and odor may be tested. Finally report your results
in a the form of a table or graph. |
