Look and properties of paint
There are several types of paint just for decoration, each of which has the properties. Transparent paints promote identification of natural structure of wood and contain additives of pigments. Such paint has good vapor permeability. It means that it will be easy to delete moisture from surface of wooden furniture. Such paint should be chosen in case it is going to prolong the term of operation of furniture. Why? The fact is that ingredients which act as the ultra-violet filter usually are part of transparent paints. Thus, sunlight promotes creation of protective properties from destruction that prolongs product life cycle. Repeated processing by transparent paint can be made in two years, at the same time it is not necessary to delete the previous layers.
Acrylic dispersive paints become more and more popular. Their use allows furniture to be tsveto-atmosfero- and waterproof. Besides the surface gains such important property as vapor permeability thanks to what the wooden element can "breathe". It means that from the painted surface moisture easily is removed. After paint is applied on surface, it becomes frost-resistant due to solvent evaporation that also speaks about the additional advantage of material.
If there is no opportunity to buy more expensive paint, it is possible to use alkyd option. It is widely applied to processing of wooden products because has such useful property as high water repellency. Therefore it is especially good to use this type of paint for the processing furniture which is in conditions of the increased humidity. In this case it is possible to paint only well dried up surface, otherwise bubbles are formed. Of course, it is always possible to choose option among traditional enamels and paints. Not only it is convenient to use them is high-quality material. However you should not choose paints of this kind if children use furniture or owners have bad health. The fact is that they are rather toxic and also are flammable.
