Purna Vachhani, Jayeshkumar Ramchandrabhai Pitroda, Prof. (Dr.) Indrajit N. Patel, Dr. Reshma L. Patel

Abstract


In the realm of modern construction, paints have transcended their traditional role as decorative coatings to emerge as indispensable components of architectural innovation. This comprehensive review paper delves deep into the multifaceted and transformative role of paints in today's construction landscape. It spotlights their multifarious contributions, including enhancing aesthetics, bolstering structural durability, promoting sustainability, and optimizing functionality in the built environment. By exploring the key characteristics, diverse types, and cutting-edge technologies of paints, this review underscores their profound impact on shaping the way we design and inhabit structures. Moreover, the paper scrutinizes recent advancements and navigates through the challenges that the field of paint technology faces, all while painting a vivid picture of the potential for exciting future innovations. This review encapsulates the evolving significance of paints, not merely as superficial embellishments but as dynamic agents of progress in contemporary construction.
