3) DESCRIPTION
STAGE NO.1 : BATCH-RECIPE PREPARATION
Raw materials and Chemicals :-
- Fillers
- Dry pigment
- Surfactant & Dispersant
- Vinylester or Epoxy resins
- Defoamer
- Filler loading
- Additives & Auxillaries etc.
Note :
- Calculate weight of each composition from the formula which is required to prepare.
- Surfactant must be used in accordance with the specification of pigment ( suitable for Anionic or Non-ionic surfactants).
STAGE NO.2 : LABORATORY PRE-MIXING
Apparatus –
- Fine scale ( 1 KG scale )
- Mixing disperser ordinaru motor ½ H.P,weight 50 Kgs.
- Plastic mixing tub ( 1 liter )
Mixing time – 5 –10 minutes or until the recipe is unitary.
STAGE NO.3 : LABORATORY PIGMENT GRINDING
Apparatus –
- Sand-mill (opened type) ordinary motor ½ H.P,weight 30 Kgs.
- 150 mesh sieve for separating grinding media (glass beads)
Production capacity – 1 gallon per batch
Grinding time – 2-3 minutes (upon the kind of pigment)
Testing and control –
% solid by weght : 30-70%,
% pigment by weight 20-60%,
Viscosity : 50-100 KU,
PH : 9-10, Density : 8- 15 lbs per gallon
Packaging : 8 oz. Each (sample)
STAGE NO.4 : PRE-MIXING (PRODUCTION)
Apparatus –
- Coarse scale (50 Kgs. Scale)
- Mixing disperser ,Non-explosive motor : 10 H.P (main),adjust upward-downward by hydraulic system,variable speed : 300-1,200 R.P.M,Motor of hydraulic oil pump : 3 H.P,Blade : 250 mm.
- Stainless mixing tank (200 liter)
Mixing time – Mix the dispersion until it is unitary and take on the mixer all the time while dispersion is pumped into sand mill.
STAGE NO.5 : SAND-MILL GRINDING (PRODUCTION)
Apparatus –
- Sand mill (opened type) , Motor of main (Non-explosive motor ) : 3 H.P, Motor pump : ½ H.P
- Coarse scale ( 50 )
- Vibrafiltor ,Vibration sieve no. 150 mesh, Motor of main : ½ H.P, Motor of pump : 1 H.P, Diameter of sifting disk : 24 inchs
Production capacity – 80 gallon/8 hours/day
Grinding time – continueous process system
Testing and control- same as stage No.3
Packaging – 5 gallons pail each
4) PACKAGING AND DELIVERY
Apparatus –
- Coarse scale (50 Kgs.)
- Tank upset machine( Hydraulic for tank lifting)
- Vehicle for delivery products to customers
Packaging – 5 gallons pail each for the product. or 8 ounces each for sample
Production – Produce according to the purchasing orders
Delivery – 2-4 days after the receipt of order

7) WHAT BENEFITS WILL BE GOT
- Will produce compounds in Thailand by using the local technical know-how ,in order to set for an initial marketing base .
- Will pay Loyalty fee to an actual total sales volume.
- The frist Loyalty fee shall be paid within 1 year after the licensee is made and the project has already completed.
- Will continue pay Loyalty fee to every 6 months (twice a year) after selling the first lot of local-made products.
- For each product received licensee, will maintain product names and send all records pertaining to sales, customers, marketing information for every quarter.
- Can sell Vinylester , Epoxy and Additives to make compounds in Thailand.
- Will have an additional base in Thailand to make-up a bigger marketing project base in the future.
