The composition of dirt and the tendency of coatings to pick up dirt are determined largely by the location. The factors affecting the tendency of coatings to pick up dirt are varied and complex. That is why the problem of dirt pick‐up on exterior coatings can only be resolved satisfactorily by optimisation of the paint formulation as a whole (PVC, type of formulation, surface texture) and of all the raw materials (binders, pigments, fillers, additives).
