Paint is a coating in powder or liquid form formed by a mixture of various components used to color any place or object. The paint can be applied anywhere you want to color. The most used areas of paints can be used in art, painting, interior and exterior facades of houses and buildings, public spaces and many other places. Paint is divided into two as powder paint and liquid paint. The paint contains resin, dyestuffs, auxiliary pigments, additives and fillers, many chemical protection forms, solvents and many other chemicals. Paints are applied on the surface with techniques such as brush, roller, roller, dipping, screen printing.
The chemicals mentioned in the paint pass to human through respiratory and skin contact. The substances in the paint can get into the blood and cause diseases. Especially people with respiratory disease and skin allergic reaction should not breathe and contact with chemicals containing paints as much as possible. The substances contained in the paint smell outside and if this smell is inhaled, it may cause damage to the lungs.
Paint is a colorant that changes the air of a place and creates beautiful environments. However, people should not prefer chemical additives for both their own health and those living in their surroundings. In today's conditions, it is seen that natural dyes are used frequently. People who take into consideration the warnings made by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, use natural dyes in their hobbies. It is possible to find paints with a natural paint certificate in many building markets and places selling hobby materials. When the natural paint certificate is given, it is deemed appropriate to give the paint materials after completing the confirmation that they are completely pure ingredients and that they are produced without harming nature and living things.
Cosmetic products are now being produced with natural dyes. Different natural branded makeup materials and make-up apparatuses also use natural paint in the production process. Women consider it appropriate to use natural cosmetics as healthy.
How to Obtain Natural Dye?
Natural dyes contain dyes obtained from the leaves and roots of fruits and vegetables. Natural dye is obtained by distilling, boiling or pressing the leaves, stem and roots of pomegranate, walnut peel, onion peel, purple cabbage, avocado leaf, carrot, blackberry, blueberry and many similar vegetables and fruits. Since these dyes are edible, they can be used even in the food industry. If it is desired to give brightness to the paints, vegetable oils are added to the paint according to the amount and volume of the paint, thus ensuring a bright appearance. In order to concentrate on natural dye, starch solution is added and dye is made more dense.
