LC Clean Paint Pty Ltd manufactures two high-quality base paints: an oil-based paint and a latex paint. Both are housepaint and are manufactured in neutral white colour only. Clean Paint Pty Ltd sells the base white paints to franchised retail paint and decorating stores where pigments are added to tint (colour) the paint as the customer desires. The oil-bases paint is made with organic solvents (petroleum products) such as mineral spirits or turpentine. The latex paint is made with water; synthetic resin particles are suspended in the water, and dry and harden when exposed to the air. Clean Paint Pty Ltd uses the same processing equipment to produce both paints in different production runs. Between batches, the vats and other processing equipment must be washed and cleaned.
