Coloring is the most popular way of decorating. This type of decoration is among the simplest, while it provides unlimited possibilities for creating an individual style and creativity.
Aqueous emulsion paint, which can be used both inside and outside the building, is best suited for staining. This material is easy to use, not aggressive, with the help of a pigment you can easily change its color, getting a variety of shades.
Aqueous emulsion ink is a stable emulsion (suspension, suspension), where the binder base and pigments are suspended (dispersed) in an aqueous medium. It turns out that water dilutes rather than dissolves small particles of polymers that are in suspension. After staining, the water evaporates, and with the help of polymers a solid film is created. After this, the surface is no longer afraid of moisture.
In addition, water-based paint has a number of advantages. It does not have a strong odor, does not emit harmful fumes, the painted surface can be washed with ease.
There are acrylic, silicone and silicate emulsions. In acrylic, the main base element are special resins. Such materials have high strength and elasticity, but their price is quite high.
Acrylic latex are the same water dispersion paints, only latex is added to them, which allows to achieve a significant water-repellent effect. An important property of latex paints is their vapor permeability, which does not interfere with water-repellent properties. The resulting polymer film is able to withstand more than five thousand treatment cycles with a brush. In other words, the surface can be cleaned, washed almost an unlimited number of times.
The basic basis of silicone water based paint is an aqueous dispersion of silicone resin. These paints are the most modern and combine all the best qualities. The surface covered with their help is practically not wetted, at the same time they pass gas and steam. These properties allow the use of silicone paints on recently plastered surfaces, they will not interfere with the hardening of the plaster. The consumption of water-based paint when applied to the surface is quite low.
Silicone paints are not aggressive and have high plasticity. They allow masking cracks up to two millimeters wide, and insects cannot multiply on the treated surface.
Silicone water based paint is used on almost all types of mineral surfaces. It has compatibility with both latex and acrylic or mineral paints. They are convenient to use for all types of work. Having made, for example, water supply of a private house with your own hands, all structural elements can be coated with these paints.
