Density

Density

The density of paint will depend on their ingredients in the paint. Density is also known as specific gravity or mass per unit volume.The more ingredients/particles in paint the more mass per unit of volume. This is called density (S.G) can be written as g/cm3. The reference substance for liquids is nearly always water. It is important to specify temperature for both the sample and reference. To find the density of a paint you need to establish the weight of the product. For these several instruments are available, pyknometers, immersion bodies, densimeters and weighing scales.
