Discussion

Marco Solinas Jan 7, 2013:
A primer on paints (pun intended) Here is what the Wikipedia article on paint has to say about fillers: "Fillers are granular solids incorporate to impart toughness, texture, give the paint special properties, or to reduce the cost of the paint" and later: "Fillers are usually cheap and inert materials, such as diatomaceous earth, talc, lime, barytes, clay, etc. Floor paints that will be subjected to abrasion may contain fine quartz sand as a filler."
Catherine De Crignis (X) Jan 7, 2013:
Here is what Dicobat says for "charge pour les peintures" : "matériel inerte qui sert à épaissir une peinture". "Extender" seems to be the official term (Termium). GDT gives the above definition (as in Dicobat) for "filler", however "filler" also refers to the pigment, which is different from 'la charge'. So it's perhaps best to use 'extender' so to avoid this possible confusion.

Thank you.
agree Tony M : Intrigued by this, I researched a bit further and came up with the reference I've posted below, which certainly corroborates your suggestion.

Thank you.
neutral philgoddard : I'm kind of convinced, but what's the difference between a filler and an extender?

From a paint context: "A filler is just what it's name implies, a substance intended as a solid component[...]. An extender on the other hand is more complex and often plays an important role [...]." http://www.paintmaking.com/extenders_fillers_driers.htm

Primer

This is the coating paint applied on the surface cleaned as being oil-free prior to the paint (finishing)
Peer comment(s):
disagree Tony M : That would translate a quite different FR term, and there is no real technical logic in using sand as a primer.

Reference:

sand / extender

Here is at least one reliable reference that does mention sand in this context:

http://www.functionalfillers.com/silica-sand.html

Fillers / Extenders-
XXX offers a wide range of unground silica, ground silica and calcined clay products for use as fillers and extenders.
Ground silica is ideal for plastics and rubber, polishes and cleansers, paints, ceramic frits and glazes, fiberglass, precision castings and more.
Fine ground silica is a high quality filler/extender for a range of applications including paints and coatings, sealants, silicone rubber and epoxy.
