Cov ntawv pleev xim ntawm cov tshuaj pleev xim txau yog ib qho tseem ceeb ntawm cov hmoov pleev xim, muab cov xim pleev xim zoo nkauj thiab xim zoo nkauj. Cov xim siv rau cov hmoov xim yuav tsum tsis txhob muaj tshuaj lom neeg nrog cov resins, cov tshuaj tua kab mob, ntxiv rau thiab lwm yam sib xyaw thaum lub sijhawm yaj los yog ci thiab ci, thiab lawv yuav tsis hloov xim ntawm yaj extrusion thiab ci curing kub; ntawm chav kawm, Ib yam li lwm txheej txheej, nws yuav tsum muaj cov xim zoo nkauj thiab zais lub zog, kom cov xim ntau dua yuav tsawg dua; Ntxiv mus, kev tawg ntawm cov xim nyob hauv qhov kev ntxig yog qhov zoo dua, thiab nws yooj yim rau kev tawg ua pa thaum tsim cov txheej.
Cov xim xim muab faib tau muab faib ua ob pawg: cov xim inorganic thiab cov xim muaj xim. Cov organic xim muaj zog tshaj li cov inorganic pigments thiab muaj xim ntau dua lub zog thiab ua kom pom tseeb. Cov organic xim ntau yam tsis tshua muaj tshuaj lom, thaum tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo tshaj plaws los ntawm cov tshuaj chromium-inorganic xim ntau yam muaj tshuaj lom. Yog li ntawd, yuav tsum hloov cov xim chromium thiab cov txhuas tawm. Tsawg-qib organic xim muaj ntxig rau inorganic pigments hauv lub teeb nrawm, huab cua nrawm, tiv tshav kub thiab hnyav tiv taus. Hauv cov organic pigments feem ntau, qhov pheej yig thiab muaj zog cov xim tsuas yog xim xiav thiab ntsuab phthalocyanine pigments. Rau cov xim daj, xim liab, thiab xim paj yeeb organic, pigments nrog cov ua tau zoo yog kim heev. Txawm li cas los xij, high-end organic pigments tsis tsuas muaj lub teeb nrawm zoo heev, huab cua nrawm, tiv tshav kub thiab hnyav ua hauj, tab sis kuj zoo dua rau inorganic pigments hauv acid thiab alkali tsis kam. Xav txog qhov yooj yim ntawm cov xim txuam, peb pib nrog tus naj npawb ntsuas ntawm daj, txiv kab ntxwv, liab, ntsuab, xiav, thiab ntshav los qhia cov kev xaiv ntawm cov organic xim.
