1.4 Brief history of the APL

The company was started in a garage in Gaiwadi, Girgaon, Mumbai by four Gujarati friends
Champaklal Choksey, Chimanlal Choksi, Suryakant Dani and Arvind Vakil. They all belong
to Jain families, and founded the company in February 1942. During World War II and the Quit
India Movement of 1942, a temporary ban on paint imports left only foreign companies
and Shalimar Paints in the market. Asian Paints took up the market and reported an annual turnover
of ₹23 crore in 1952 but with only 2% PBT margin. By 1967, it became the leading paints
manufacturer in the country.

12 | P a g e
Report on APL

The four families together held the majority shares of the company. But disputes started over the
global rights in 1990s when the company expanded beyond India. The disputes resulted in Choksey
selling their 13.7% shares and exiting in 1997. Champaklal died in July 1997 and his son Atul took
over. After failed collaboration talks with the British company Imperial Chemical Industries,
Choksey's shares were mutually bought by the remaining three families and Unit Trust of India.
As of 2008, the Choksi, Dani and Vakil families hold a share of 47.81%.

Asian Paints Limited is an Indian synthetic substances organization which fabricates a wide scope
of paints for brightening and mechanical use. Its vision is "to wind up one of the best five
enhancing coatings organizations worldwide by utilizing its skill in the higher development
developing markets. All the while, the organization means to manufacture long haul an incentive
in the modern coatings business through collusions with built up worldwide accomplices. Asian
Paints is Asia's third biggest paint organization, with a turnover of Rs 109.70 billion. Other than
Asian Paints, the gathering works far and wide through its auxiliaries Berger International Limited,
Apco Coatings, SCIB Paints and Taubmans. Organization utilizes crude materials like Pigments,
Extenders and Minerals. Unlike most other industry, the paint business was moderately free of
guidelines. Anyway, for quite a while it was seen to be an extravagance thing and was liable to
abnormal amounts of offers and extract charges. The high extract obligation routine combined
with moderately ease.

The work that has been done in this internship has given some vital pieces of information to the
administration about the regions which however were doing great and not just this it has
additionally attempted to illuminate conceivable changes that can be made so as to accomplish
increasingly more productivity.

The principle motivation behind choosing this internship is to think about the angles associated
with buy creation and stock administration and the few documentation forms that are engaged with
the working of the organization.

 Additives
 Binders (Emulsions & Resins)
 Solvents (liquid)

 Pigments:

Pigments are used to provide colour, hide, and bulk to the paint. They can be made
from natural or synthetic source and often ground into a fine powder before being
added to the paint. Organic colorants provide the brighter colours. These are not very
durable for exterior paint application. Inorganic colorants are the duller, earthy
colours and are more durable for exterior paint application.
 Additives:

Report on APL

 Binders:
Binders are ingredients that are used to hold pigment particles together to create a
dry film on the surface. A paints binder is the key ingredient that directly relates to a
paint’s performance, including adhesion, washability, scrub resistance, fade
resistance or gloss retention. Binders provide performance and support for dry paint.

 Solvents:
Solvents are used to dissolve the pigments and binders to get from the can to the
surface.
Solvents are the drivers for allowing paint to get from the can to the surface and these
types of liquids differ depending.

2.2.3 Process Description: -

 Raw Material Preparation: Raw materials such as pigments, binders, solvents, additives,
and water are gathered and prepared for the manufacturing process.

 Dispersion: Pigments and fillers are dispersed in water using mechanical agitation or
milling equipment. This process helps to break down the pigment particles into smaller
sizes and distribute them evenly in the water.

 Binder Addition: Binders, such as acrylic or vinyl resins, are added to the pigment
dispersion. The binders act as a film-forming agent, providing adhesion and durability to
the paint.

 Additives Incorporation: Various additives like thickeners, defoamers, preservatives, and

rheology modifiers are added to the mixture to enhance specific properties of the paint,
such as flow, levelling, and long-term stability.

 Mixing and Grinding: The paint formulation is mixed thoroughly to ensure uniformity and
consistency. The mixture may also undergo grinding or milling processes to further reduce
particle size and improve paint performance.

 Quality Control: The manufactured paint is tested for various parameters such as viscosity,
colour, pH, and other performance characteristics to ensure it meets the required
specifications.

 Packaging: The final product is packaged into containers, such as cans or drums, ready for
distribution and sale.

The specific process may vary depending on the type of water-based paint being produced and the
manufacturer's specific equipment and techniques. For detailed and accurate information about
Asian Paints' manufacturing process, it is recommended to contact the company directly.

2.2.4 Major Engineering Problems

One major engineering problem that Asian Paints' industries may face is the optimization of energy
consumption and environmental impact. This is a common challenge in the paint manufacturing
industry, as it involves various processes that consume significant amounts of energy and generate
emissions.

Some specific engineering problems related to energy optimization and environmental impact in
paint industries include:

 Energy Efficiency: Paint manufacturing involves processes such as mixing, grinding, and
drying, which require substantial energy inputs. Optimizing these processes to minimize
energy consumption without compromising product quality is a significant challenge.

 Waste Management: Paint manufacturing produces waste materials such as sludge,

solvents, and leftover paint, which need to be handled and disposed of properly.
Developing efficient waste management systems that minimize environmental impact,
comply with regulations, and reduce costs is crucial.

 Emissions Control: Paint production can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
other harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Implementing effective emission control
technologies and practices to meet environmental regulations and ensure worker safety is
essential.

 Water Conservation: Paint manufacturing requires water for various processes, including
cleaning, cooling, and mixing. Efficient water management practices, such as recycling
and reusing water, can help reduce water consumption and minimize environmental
impact.

 Sustainable Materials: Finding alternative raw materials that are more environmentally
friendly and sustainable is another engineering challenge. This includes exploring eco-
friendly pigments, resins, and additives that have a lower environmental footprint.

Addressing these engineering challenges requires a combination of process optimization,

technology advancements, and strategic planning to ensure sustainable and environmentally
responsible operations in the paint manufacturing industry.

Report on APL

Type of extinguishers and the classes of fire for which they can be used

Water Class A Fire

Dry chemical Powder Class B & C fire

Foam Class A & B fire

Carbon Dioxide Class B & C fire

Special dry Powder Class D fire

 Water Extinguisher

They are used for Class A fires. Water removes heat and extinguish the fire. Water must
not be used on fires involving live electrical equipment as it can cause electrocution.
Water must not be used on metal fires.

 Carbon Dioxide Extinguisher

CO2 extinguishers are mainly used for Class B and C fires.CO 2 extinguish the fire by displacing
oxygen in the surrounding air. CO2 is not suitable for fires involving metals. Its principal advantage
is that it does not leave any residue. Can be used on electrical/electronic equipment.
33 | P a g e
Report on APL

 AFF Foam Type Extinguishers

The extinguishing agent is aqueous film forming concentrate in water which forms air foams
when discharged through an aspirating nozzle. It has a blanketing effect excluding oxygen
from the surface of the fuel as it spreads on the fuel. Prevents vapour formation from the surface
of the burning liquid.

 Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) Extinguisher

The main base chemicals used in DCP extinguishers are sodium bicarbonate and potassium
bicarbonate. DCP extinguishers puts out fire by coating the fuel surface with chemical powder.
This separates the fuel from the oxygen in the air and prevent vapor formation. The powder also
interrupts the chemical chain reaction of fire.

34 | P a g e
Report on APL

 AFF Foam Extinguishers

The extinguishing agent is aqueous film forming concentrate in water which forms air foams when
discharged through an aspirating nozzle. It has a blanketing effect excluding oxygen from the
surface of the fuel as it spreads on the fuel. Prevents vapour formation from the surface of the
burning liquid. It develops a floating aqueous film of solution under the foam on fuel surface and
cool the burning surface.

Conclusion

For a technical student it’s very important for the one to get the practical knowledge which he can
correlates with the bookish or theoretical knowledge he learned during his curriculum. I applied
for the summer internship at APL Ankleshwar. I gained all the knowledge about the working of
the plant with all the safety at the prior. Here I understood how the paints are manufactured. I also
learned about many unit operations happening here like Mixing, Drying and Packaging etc. At last
I would like to that my summer internship at APL Ankleshwar provided me the amount of
industrial knowledge which would be helpful to me in my future endeavours in this field.
