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. |
