The use of paints as a surface finish began a long time ago. Over time, this material has changed many times, which has a different effect on its characteristics and properties. This is what helped to achieve high-quality coating of paint and a good surface structure.
Structural paint: characteristic
Structural paint is used to give the building's facade and internal walls a relief decorative look, to obtain a beautiful shape and create a protective layer from negative natural influences. This coating for the facade and walls has excellent adhesion to the surface.
Structural paint has a high vapor permeability, in other words, it can breathe. It has high weather resistance, resistance to industrial air pollution. It is steady against various mechanical influences. In addition, it is an elastic and moisture resistant material.
Specifications
Structural paint is soluble in water or any other solvent.
Acrylic latex acts as a binder.
Material consumption - 1.5 kg / m².
Drying time at a temperature of + 23 ° C - up to 2 hours.
The material is stored in hermetically sealed packaging, at a temperature not exceeding + 5 ° C.
Coating benefits
Due to the perfectly selected composition of the components, the structural paint has an ideal viscosity. It allows you to create deep and unique decorations, and with the help of a spatula and flowers it is easy to create variety.
Structural paint can be given any color. Everyone can choose the right shade for their interior. This finishing material is also convenient because tinting can be done even at home (in the presence of color pigment and mixer).
After applying to the surface, the structural paint for the walls dries quickly enough, forming a durable film that protects against the effects of such destroyers as temperature extremes, snow, rain, wind. Of course, this protection is not the most durable, but for 5 years you can be completely calm.
Application Features
The process of applying paint to the surface - the work is not too complicated, it is much harder to make the preparation of the base for painting. After all, it is precisely on how well this work is done that the appearance of the walls and, most importantly, the long-termness of this coating will depend.
Exterior structural paint
To clear a brick, cement and sand plasters and concrete from dirt, dust and other substances that can reduce adhesion. Prime the surface, if necessary, level it. The old painted base should be removed mechanically (to simplify the work, you can use an industrial hairdryer). For exterior work, structural facade paint is used.
Internal processing
To clean and ground plaster, gypsum.
Clean plywood, wood-particle surfaces and wood-fiber boards from dust, prime.
Surfaces painted with water-based paint should be cleaned, washed with water and primed. Glue-based paint, lime and chalk, wallpaper and glue, as well as anything that can dissolve in water, must be removed. Dry the surface and apply a primer.
Old calcareous plasters that have lost their strength should be removed. Prime, if necessary, level.
Oil paint can not be removed. Sand it thoroughly and apply a primer.
The base must be perfectly even so that there are no pits or bulges on the applied structural paint. To do this, it is good to treat the surface with plaster and putty.
