At the moment when carrying out repairs more often by builders latex paints began to be used. And it is not surprising, the latex paint has number of advantages before normal: it is eco-friendly, allows to work in the closed room, does not demand faultless walls and even not bad lays down on structural wall-paper.
The practical universal painting structures which can be used in premises is latex paints. In fact, they represent dispersive solution on the basis of water. The pigment contains in almost insoluble liquid which in turn in the form of the small not sticking together droplets "is stored" in water. Drying, water evaporates, leaving dense layer of pigment on the painted surface. Such paints very much wearproof, they do not burn out and are afraid only of mechanical damages.
The latex paint can be used for the following types of surfaces: - plasterboard plates; - the plastered walls; - concrete walls or monolithic; - ceiling surfaces.
Generally latex paints are issued white color. For achievement of the necessary tone of paint it is led up the corresponding color. The structures of such manufacturing firms as Innenlatex Extra, Ultra, Tikkurilla are widely presented at the market.
Types of paint
Water dispersible latex paints most often apply to painting of ceilings from tree, cement, gypsum cardboard. They are also suitable for painting of walls and creation of frescos.
Paint with latex paint on akrilovodnodispersionny basis: - brick wall and concrete; - wood-shaving plate; - gypsum cardboard; - tree; - plastered surface.
Despite universality, latex structures have between themselves distinctions which are designated by the marking indexes applied on packing container. For rooms with high passability paints with the high index, for decorative works are used - with low (from 2 to 6).
Usually this paint is applied to carrying out interior finish of rooms, but it is possible to make up also facades and to work even in damp rooms of type of the bathroom. If there is task to issue surface so that it shone, get latex paints with gloss which is marked in units - from 0 to 100, and 100 units guarantee glossy effect and strong covering, and 0 – cretaceous, i.e. the surface will leave marks on lean-to things so as if it was rubbed with chalk. Respectively, paints happen 6 types: - SG – absolutely glossy (90-100 units); - – glossy (from 60 to 89 units); - PG – semi-gloss (30-59 units); - PM – semi-gloss (11-29 units); - M – opaque (from 6 to 10 units); - CM – absolutely opaque (up to 5 units).
Work with paints
Before works it makes sense to calculate quantity of expendable material, so, rated indicator for latex paint - from 6 to 12 liters on square meter of surface.
Paint is applied on previously grounded surface. It is possible to put and without primer, only then it is necessary to do thicker layer. Work both with the roller, and brush, pulvelizator. When drawing previously it is necessary to check for structural wall-paper or plaster whether the surface has dried, otherwise wall-paper will peel off, and plaster will be showered.
The term of drying of latex paints directly depends on ambient temperature, but at the room temperature the structure dries on average in 5-6 hours, in the bathroom – till 8 o'clock. When drawing on ceiling or facade paint can dry in 1-2 hours.
If paint has thickened, and it happens very seldom, it can be parted with small portion of water.
