Snow gradually sinks, sags, and folds under its own weight because it is a very weak substance. As snow settles, its density increases.
Where paint pigment has sunk to the bottom of the tin - especially common in low viscosity paint. Settling is gene ral ly not terminal, but the pigment must be re-incorporated to ensure consistency of colour and application. It can be easily remedied with vigorous stirring.
a gradual sinking to a lower level
When the pigment and vehicle of a coating separate after standing.
Separation of pigments in a paint.
solids contained in the must after pressing (white wines) are normally allowed to settle out before fermentation.
The sinking of pigments or other solid matter in a paint on standing in a container, with the subsequent accumulation on the bottom of the container.
The sinking of pigments, extenders or other solid matter in a coating, on standing in a container, with a consequent accumulation on the bottom of the can.
settling is the compaction of the soil by the weight of a structure. If severe, cracks in the structure may result. Land, weather and water and soil types can have an effect and result in settlement. Descend, localized; to sink or shrink as with wood products
Separation of pigment or other solids in the paint which then accumulate in the bottom of the container.
The separation of a pigment or other solid ingredient from a coating material upon standing.
Paint separation in which pigments and other solids accumulate at the bottom of the container.
The deposition of solid constituents, i.e. pigment, extenders, in an ink on standing in a container.
Settling is the process by which particulates settle to the bottom of a liquid and form a sediment. Also called sediment.
