Production line and factory setup overview
A small line producing one interior water-based wall-paint family from approved mineral fillers and imported binder through water treatment, closed powder weighing, high-speed dispersion, controlled bead milling only where the formula requires it, let-down and tinting, viscosity and shade adjustment, filtration, batch laboratory release and 5-20 L pail filling. Solvent paint, resin synthesis and unknown formulas are excluded.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Launch one white interior emulsion paint and two package sizes at about 500-1,000 kg/batch. Use a dust-extracted powder station, high-speed disperser, jacketed let-down/tint tank, transfer pump, bag filter, semi-automatic net filler and a paint laboratory. Buy a validated binder/additive package and qualify Afghan calcium-carbonate filler before reducing imported content.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Raw-material certificate and filler release
- Treated-water and liquid dosing
- Closed powder charging and high-speed dispersion
- Optional milling and fineness check
- Let-down, tinting and viscosity adjustment
- Filtration and batch laboratory release
- Net filling, lidding and coding
- Retained sample and shelf-stability monitoring
Products, capacity and market fit
- Housing and renovation create recurring demand for affordable interior paint.
- Afghan mineral filler can add local value after whiteness and particle-size qualification.
- Water-based production avoids the fire load of solvent coatings but still needs chemical controls.
- Hiding power, adhesion, scrub resistance, shade and shelf stability determine product credibility.
- Interior water-based emulsion wall paint - Declared volume solids, density, viscosity, fineness, hiding, whiteness, adhesion, scrub resistance, drying time and VOC - Afghan housing, schools and commercial interiors
