Skinning of Liquid

 

CAUSE

REMEDY
While it has been possible (to a large extent) to minimize skinning, it is something which will occur to a varied degree whenever any airdrying material is exposed to air. Make sure that containers in which the material is stored are sealed airtight. Dipping tanks should preferably have an oil or water-sealer cover. The cover should be in place whenever the tank is not in use.

 

Note: To avoid skinning during storage of open containers or during long disuse of dip tank, follow the prescribed procedures.

 

1.

Oil-Type Materials: Cover remaining contents of partially filled containers, with a small amount of turpentine before sealing.

 

2.

Synthetic Type - Cover remaining contents of partially filled container with a small amount of synthetic reducer before sealing.

 

3.

Water-borne - Float water on surface.
