    ABSTRACT

    Emulsion Paints were formulated using different local raw material as Pigments at different pigment volume concentration (P.V.C) as 32%, 19%, and 10% respectively, and polyvinyl acetate (P.V.A) as binder, with a dispersant and a solvent (Water).The effect of varying concentrations of pigments were studied and the higher concentration of pigment produced better result, as more compatibility with the binder, and deeper colour for the paints formulated were obtained. The formulated paints were characterized for physico-chemical properties such as viscosity, density, drying time, opacity, and pH which yielded positive results, and revealed that the paints could be used as both indoor and outdoor coatings.
