Organic coatings are polymers and resins,
produced either naturally or synthetically,
usually formulated to be applied as liquids
that dry or harden as thin surface films on
substrate materials.
These coatings are valued for the variety of
colors and textures possible, their capacity to
protect the substrate surface, low cost, and
ease with which they can be applied.
Binders, which give the coating its properties
Dyes or pigments, which lend color to the
coating
Solvents, to dissolve the polymers and resins
and add proper fluidity to the liquid
Additives
