Question

Accepted Answer

Answers to interview questions for Technical Officer position

1. Introduce yourself: Provide a brief overview of your background, education, and relevant experience.
2. What is paint? Paint is a liquid or solid material that is applied to surfaces to provide protection, decoration, or other desired properties.
3. Explain resins: Resins are a type of polymer that act as binders in paint formulations, providing adhesion and durability.
4. Explain pigments: Pigments are finely ground solid particles that give paint its color and opacity.
5. Difference between organic & inorganic pigments: Organic pigments are carbon-based and derived from natural sources, while inorganic pigments are mineral-based and synthesized chemically.
6. Different types of solvents: Solvents are liquids used to dissolve or disperse the paint components. Examples include water, mineral spirits, and acetone.
7. Grinding and ball mill: Grinding is the process of reducing particle size by applying mechanical force. A ball mill is a type of grinder used to grind and blend materials.
8. Sand mill: A sand mill is a type of grinder that uses sand as the grinding media to disperse solid particles in a liquid medium.
9. Explanation of final year project: Provide a detailed description of your final year project, highlighting its objectives, methodology, and outcomes.
10. PHR and calculation: PHR stands for Parts per Hundred Resin, which is a ratio used to determine the amount of resin in a paint formulation. Calculation involves dividing the weight of the resin by the total weight of the formulation and multiplying by 100.
11. Different white pigments: Examples of white pigments include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and lithopone.
12. Difference between specific gravity and density: Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, usually water. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.
