Value:
The lightness or darkness of a color, e.g. light blue, medium blue and dark blue have different values.
Varnish:
A liquid, film forming material based on drying oils and resins that dries to a transparent or translucent film after application as a thin layer.
Viscosity:
The internal resistance to flow in a liquid. A measure of thickness or thinness. It is determined by measuring the force required to shear the liquid without disorder at a defined rate. Also known as consistency.
VOC:
See Volatile Organic Compound.
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC):
The organic, carbon based, compounds (including additives, solvents, free monomers, etc., but not water) that evaporate from an applied and drying coating that results in the formation of paint film on the surface to which it was applied.
Volume Solids:
The volume of the non-volatile portion of a composition divided by the total volume of the coating and expressed as a percentage. The volume solids can be used to calculate dry film thickness at a defined spreading rate or spreading rate at a defined thickness. High volume solids mean a thicker dry film with improved durability and lower VOCs.
