Classification of coatings

Paint - a homogeneous suspension of pigment, or mixtures of film-forming substance, which after drying, uniform opaque film with certain properties (protective, decorative, special). Paints may contain fillers, solvents, plasticizers, driers, hardeners, etc. The main purpose of coating materials - Protection of building materials from demolition and corrosion, as well as giving items and decorative designs of the form (decorative finish). putty - a thick viscous mass consisting of a mixture of pigments and fillers dispersed in a film-forming substance. putty used to fill ruts, sealing cracks, potholes and surface roughness. Solvent - a liquid used to dilute the paint material to the desired consistency. Enamel - a suspension of pigment, or mixtures of excipients in the lacquer forming after drying opaque solid protective and decorative film with a different texture and gloss. Enamels are oil, alkyd , epoxy, nitrocellulose lacquer, etc. - a solution film-forming substances in organic solvents, after drying, forming solid transparent uniform film. Primer - a suspension of pigment or mixture of pigments with fillers to be applied to the painted surface after drying and forming a uniform opaque film with good adhesion to the surface providing high-quality finish coat of paint application. In order to classify paints used alpha-numeric system, consisting of 5 groups of signs for paints (enamels), primers, fillers and 4 groups of signs for varnishes.

What is linseed oil, and what are they for?

Drying oils - this film former, based on vegetable oils that have passed a special treatment (oxidation or prolonged heating at high temperatures), with the addition of driers and solvents used in the manufacture of oil and the dilution gustotertyh paints, cooking oil-resin varnishes, putties, primers . They are used for priming and olifovki wood and other porous surfaces prior to painting, preparation of paint formulations, fillers, as well as a separate decorative coating. What is linseed oil, and what are they for Classification of drying oils: linseed oil, natural, semi-subsistence varnish, linseed oil varnish combined synthetic. Dietary linseed oil varnish is prepared by treating natural drying or drying and semidrying mixture of vegetable oils (linseed, tung, sunflower, etc.), they practically do not contain solvents. Linen, natural linseed oil - light transparent oily liquid, made from linseed oil and drying oil prepared with linseed oil. Varnish is used: a primer (proolifki) metal, wood and plaster surfaces, for preparation and dilution of light gustotertyh paints, putties, podmazochnyh pastes, putties, for internal and external works at painting metal structures, floors, doors, window frames. Drying time of linseed oil at 20 ° C - no more than 24 hours. Linseed oil, natural Linoleic Linoleic natural linseed oil - a dark transparent oily liquid made from hemp seed oil and desiccant. Apply varnish for priming metal, wood and plaster surfaces, preparation and dilution of dark gustotertyh paints, putties, podmazok, cements and other dark-colored compounds.

Secrets of the painters

Vitaly Lviv Painting work - drawing painting structures on the surface of buildings and structures in order to increase their service life, improve sanitation in the premises and give them a beautiful appearance. Every year interior space is becoming sleeker, increased requirements for architectural expression, internal and external design of buildings, quality of finish. Meet these requirements new efficient, economical repair materials - new synthetic varnishes, lacquers and paints, particularly water-based and silicone. It would seem to paint a wall - it is not difficult. However, the painting requires very careful preparation of the wall to the repairs: Paint will not hide any cracks or irregularities or any other defects in the wall. In addition, there are many ways of applying the paint, depending on which improves the appearance and color last longer. Clean painted surfaces depends on the quality of operations performed and the sequence of works. In the high-quality color unacceptable tiny grains in the paint. Paint work need different brushes, rollers, spatulas, rulers. When painting works use different colors on the composition of: adhesives, lime, oil, enamel, and others. All paints contain various binders, pigment and auxiliary substances. Value of parts in paint is not by chance, so adding some substance at random, such as solvent, instead of improving the quality of the painted surface can lead to its reduction. Typically, paint is sold as a finished product. If you want to dilute it, add to only the most necessary amount of solvent, otherwise the paint will flow, especially on vertical surfaces.

All you need to know about the varnish

Lucky - the materials are solutions of film-forming material (resin or polymer) in organic solvents or water. After drying, they form a solid transparent (colorless or color) film, when you need to protect and simultaneously preserve or highlight the structure of the painted surface, mainly of fine wood. In this case, the varnish is applied to the prepared surface of the product. Lacquer as the final layer in the multilayer coating will give him a good look and enhance performance properties. What are the lakes? bituminous paints, alkyd paints, oil paints, epoxy, and nitrocellulose lacquer coatings prepared from Bitumen Bitumen of special stamps with the addition of various resins, oils. After drying bituminous varnishes form black film is resistant to water and some chemicals. It is not enough pronounced anti-corrosion properties of bitumen films at atmospheric conditions. lakipoluchayut Oil dissolving natural or synthetic resins in the drying of vegetable oil with driers and solvents. from natural resins usually used rosin, shellac and amber. As a general rule, oil paints form a solid transparent film of yellowish color. Due to the low weather resistance coating oil paints used for finishing products indoors, such as rinse aid worn wooden floor coverings. Alkyd paints - most common in the home of the applied paint. are solutions in organic solvents, synthetic alkyd (pentaphthalic or glyptal) resins. alkyd varnish film, solid, transparent, slightly colored, has good adhesion to different surfaces, water-resistant.

Beautician for the homeowner

Vadim Alexeev A man in a perfume shop usually feels mild confusion - ctellazhi with makeup seemed to him an alchemist laboratory. But in the wilds of automotive beauty, he focuses very well. So, all in a mood thing? so prior to our conversation about the protective equipment for the home, we will ask readers to tune into a serious mood. First, let's define the range of issues that must be considered. Thus, it is important to clarify: that we, in fact, protect, protect from what? And as with protecting what? Let's go in order. The object of protection are the interior and exterior of a country house. In the first case - expensive finishing materials and construction, and above all made of fine wood: flooring, cladding panels, interior doors, window frames, etc. Speaking of the exterior, we mean the surface of wood or stone facades, roofs and various decorative elements (especially metal), etc. What are defending? A very pertinent question, if we remember that the enemies of any building or finishing material to spare. Thus, the wood is afraid of excessive moisture, and conversely, dryness, harmful microorganisms, the scorching sun and the mechanical action. And, for example, metal rusts in contact with water there. On the last question: by what means can extend the life of your beloved home and its individual elements - we will give a detailed answer. In fact, this entire article is devoted. Of bugs and worms Almost all finishing coatings possess, in addition to the purely decorative properties, and more protective.

A beautiful facade with paint

A beautiful facade catches the eye not only master of the house, but any person passing by. Add beauty and brightness of the facade will help paint. The main function of paints for exterior painting and decorating, in addition to creating a decorative effect - the protection of the facade from the ravages of the environment. Speech - the exterior paint for the "stone" facades. That is, of course, to paint the facade of polished granite or marble, nobody, probably not, but the concrete walls, surfaces, trimmed with various types of plaster, lined with sandstone, it is necessary to paint. And the term "stone" refers to just such a surface. The most important function of any covering - protection of the facade from moisture. The fact is that virtually all the mechanisms of destruction of the stone associated with the physical, chemical, biological and mechanical effects, one way or another are based on the action of moisture. Rain, especially with the wind, and flowing down the walls of water can carry away from the particle surface of brick, stone, mortar and concrete. But if this role was limited to water, it would be bad. Like other materials, stone can absorb water, which is accompanied by swelling. It is clear that all the stones to absorb water in different ways: for example, porous brick, mortar and much swell, which is not true of granite, absorption capacity is very low. When water gets into the stone on the border between different building materials, and sometimes even between the particles of the same material (eg, sandstone), cause severe stress.

Silicate paints

Silicate kraskaeto one type of single-component vapor-permeable dyes. Refers to the mineral paint on the basis of liquid glass. Silicate paint is a reliable and convenient product. Use silicate paint for building and painting has become the norm. Unfortunately, decorative properties silicate paint is different, the fact that the alkali components in the paint does not allow the use of a large number of coloring components. Silicate paint is popular, particularly when working with the restored building. In addition, silicate paint is widely used when painting living and working quarters, kitchens, basements. Also it is used in painting the facades of buildings. Thus, in the central streets of big cities this is especially important. It is known that silicate paint splendidly, however, keep in mind that to cause the silicate paint should be applied to the mineral colors, as well as nashtukaturennuyu surface. Silicate paint has replaced limestone. For many of the qualities silicate paint it surpasses. It should be remembered that the durability of silicate paints is as strong by her side, and weak. Hold a paint can up to 20 years, which is an excellent term for the paint, but here, for example, house paint, colored silicate paint, something else is hardly succeed. Molten glass in the silicate paint is literally fused to the surface. Also, silicate paint is reinforced siloxane, capillary-open. When painting silicate paint surfaces that had been painted a different color, need to carefully clean up the surface, check that it would no more traces of the previous one.

Fillers and additives in paints and varnishes

To make the various properties of paint coatings, they introduced a variety of fillers and pigments. Pigments - it's fine colored organic or inorganic substances. Otherwise they are called dry paint. Pigments are needed to make the color material and improve opacity, light and weather. Organic pigments - are synthetic dyes that are added to the binders of paints and varnishes. They can produce bright, saturated colors. In the water-dispersed compositions frequently used inorganic pigments. Inorganic pigments can be natural (vegetable, mineral) or synthetic origin, are solids, they do not dissolve in water, solvents and film-forming components. Inorganic pigments in a finely dispersed solid form is added to paints, varnishes and other fillers are used to impart the desired coating properties. This solids not soluble in the binder and film-forming and non-coloring power. They are in the form of dispersions are added to the coating. Solvents and thinners - a necessary component of all paint materials. Solvents - a volatile organic liquid, which makes a film-forming liquid so that they become suitable for application by brush or roller to the surface. With the help of solvents is governed viscosity paints. Thinners, unlike solvents, do not possess solvent properties, but in combination with solvents, they are capable of a wide range to adjust the viscosity of the material. Good natural solvent and diluent is water, and sometimes, when the material allows it, use it for that purpose.

Why use oil paint?

Any painting work requires serious and thorough approach. Specialists painters now are very popular. This is logical. After all, from painting buildings, walls or on the subject, largely depends on just how long the object retains its form. How well it will be protected from external influences, the weather conditions. It should be borne in mind that when it comes to painting the building, painting or any other design, the paint will be primarily to withstand the increased loads. This is in direct sunlight and wind, and the impact of such detrimental to many surfaces, exposure to water. Thus, the most ordinary water, as rain could bring badly painted designs incredible damage. That's why where you want to provide reliable protection from water using latex paint. This is to protect the painted surface of the water for a long time. Latex different from the traditional colors that consist of two components. These components are immiscible and are present in the paint is separated. One of these components and consists of particles - globules. These particles interact with the dispersion or external phase emulsifier, which prevents coalescence of globules and other particles and chemical additives. When applied to the surface of latex paint, after a while, water is allocated as a result of an emulsifier on the surface evaporates and is itself directly paint. After the rejection well, the surface acquires a matte finish, is breathable and impermeable to water. It is impermeable to water makes latex so popular.
