Latex paint for walls and ceilings, and application technology

The main parameters of water-based paints ↑

Vodoemulsionki has certain advantages:

2. this finishing material is harmless, safe for health and the environment. No need to leave the room during painting works;
3. there is no unpleasant odor;

Disadvantages of the material:

• the you have cannot be used at temperatures below +5 degrees.

Operating parameters water emulsion of a mixture of ↑

Prior to the acquisition of similar compounds, pay attention to its technical characteristics:

• viscosity;
• composition;
• expiration date;
• maximum flow;
• the proportion

In such a mixture shall include the following components:

• filler;
• latex;
• antiseptic;
• thickener.

The average consumption in the painting of walls and ceiling is 150-200 ml per square meter. The number of layers is determined by the absorbent material, which is applied water-based paint.

Viscosity is an assessment of the degree of dilution of dye to water. To determine this index is used viscometer.

The average time for full drying of the surface of the ceiling and walls is 18 to 24 hours, depends on the humidity of the air, and the air temperature.

Application of vodoemulsionki ↑

Using such structure it is possible to choose the perfect color for walls, ceiling, pick up the texture of the coating. There are several technologies for applying such mixtures, the choice depends on the coating conditions. Using the textured roller, you can get the unique result is the original surface. In order to cover for a long time pleasing their aesthetic appearance, adhere to certain rules relating to the technology of drawing on the walls and ceiling of vodoemulsionki.

1. A preparatory stage. It is necessary to eliminate all irregularities, to use for this putty. Once the walls are prepared, they applied plaster finish, you can begin to paint. Near the painted wall clears the space, remove all items to a distance of not less than 1.5 metres. The floor is covered with a protective coating. First to the painted surface apply a coat of primer. It provides reliable surface adhesion and vodoemulsionki. Due to the good absorbency of the primer, the surface is aligned, the paint will go without lumps and smudges. Wait until the primer is completely dry, yet is not formed on the wall of the protective film (4-6 hours).
2. In DIY stores offer thick latex mixture. To finish was matte and uniform, latex paint diluted with water, thoroughly mixed.

Varieties of vodoemulsionki ↑

Currently, there are unit all water-based paints into four types, depending on the selected polymer:

• silicone;
• acrylic;
• mineral;
• silicate.

Water-based acrylic paints ↑

This type is considered to be most in demand in today’s construction market. The main component of such material is an acrylic resin. In addition to the composition are often added to the latex, which increases the resistance to water. The surfaces painted with acrylic paints, you can wash it with plain water, without deterioration of appearance. Manufacturers of such compositions indicate on labels that can be 4000-5000 times to wash the coating.

Double layer acrylic composition, which has a latex filler, you can remove cracked having a diameter of 0.5-1 mm. It is perfectly placed on brick, concrete, wood, glass surface. Such composition is suitable for decorating metal surfaces. Some examples of such painting tools, note the paint «weak». This kind of safe, has no unpleasant peculiar smell, it dries fairly quickly.

Water-based silicone materials ↑

In their composition includes a silicone resin. These materials are relatively high cost, they are suitable for all types of surfaces, creating a vapor tight cover. With their help you can decorate cracks up to 2mm, even in high humidity areas without fear of the emergence of the fungus.

Water-based silicate structures ↑

Water-based silicate paint is a mixture of water, color pigments, and liquid glass. These mixtures have high permeability, water vapor permeability, resistant to atmospheric humidity. The operational life of such compositions is 20 years.

Water-based mineral mixture ^ the

Water-based mineral compounds included in the composition of hydrated lime or cement. Similar compounds are used for decorating walls and ceilings. Vodoemulsionka ideal for painting brick and concrete surfaces.

For the preparation of polyvinyl acetate water-based mixtures of pigments will be overwritten on polyvinyl acetate emulsion. The main advantage of such compositions lies in their application in closed rooms. The resulting film has high strength. The coating is resistant to mineral oils, fats, moisture, withstands direct sunlight.

Vodoemulsionka am one of those types of coatings that have high quality at an affordable cost. The variety of shades, which you can order directly in the store (for a small fee), you can make the desired changes in the interior of his apartment.
