Effect of Drying on Textured Coat Synthesized from Waste Glass for Building Application

Interior and exterior coat samples were collected and subjected to viscosity (ASTM D-4741), adhesion (ASTM D-3359), dry-time (ASTM D-1640 M), and abrasion (ASTM D-4060) analysis, respectively to determine its drying effect on application. The result shows that both interior and exterior coatings had 35poise viscosity, 4A adhesion, dry-time of 5 min set-to-touch time, 10 min dust-free time, 20 min tack-free and 530 min hard-dry time, and 0.2 g (interior coating) and 0.35 g (exterior coating) abrasion rate which correspond with the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) standard values of 40 ± 0.5poise for viscosity, 1A–5A adhesion rate, 30 ± 5 min set-to-touch time, 30 ± 5 min dust-free time, 60 min tack-free, 1440 ± 5 min hard-dry time, and 4 ± 5 g abrasion rate. These indicate that the drying effect of synthesized building textured coating has a workable viscosity with zero orange peeling upon drying, a less than 5% flick rate on adhesion, and excellent abrasion resistance attributable to sufficient drying on application.
