At present one of the most popular finishing materials for many consumers are acrylic paints - for the reason that almost any surface is subject to it. Advantages of this building material in comparison with other types of paint and varnish products are more than enough: they are not exposed to ultraviolet rays, they are characterized by rapid drying and good adhesion to the surface being treated. Acrylic paints are clean in the ecological plan, therefore have received wide application in furnish of medical institutions, preschool children's establishments, and also premises. This finishing material has no unpleasant odor, is easily washed off the skin of the person and the tools used in the work. The surface, painted with this paint, not only has a beautiful appearance, but also is protected from external influences.
These properties and performance characteristics of this kind of building material due to its composition. In the structure of acrylic paint, the main role is played by the polymer emulsion, which is the link between water and the pigment used. However, in order to ensure that the acrylic paint for wood possesses high strength, is not subjected to peeling and cracking, one application of even a high-quality polymer emulsion is not quite enough. Of great importance in the manufacture of acrylic paints is the correct selection as a percentage of all components of this material for finishing works. Only if these conditions are met, acrylic paint for the ceiling will be provided with good adhesion properties and is endowed with the ability to pass through water vapor and air masses.
Despite the versatility of acrylic compounds, in the manufacture of finishing work, it is necessary to take into account the type of surface that is to be painted. For the painting of wooden, plastered, concrete and brick surfaces of structural elements of building facades, acrylic paints of special manufacture (only for facade works) are used. Manufacturers of facade paints have developed a technology for manufacturing and selecting components of this building material in accordance with the conditions of its use. But it should be borne in mind that the surface to be painted must be prepared beforehand, and must be primed.
Approximately the same procedure for the selection of acrylic paints should be followed when performing interior works inside the building, but here there is one small nuance: the quality of the preparation of the painted surfaces should be excellent. For this reason, in addition to the primer, when preparing the surface, putty is applied, and only then acrylic paints are applied. The approximate rate of consumption of acrylic compounds is always indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging or in a separate instruction for their use. It directly depends on the method of application. Apply a paint sprayer, paint roller or brush.
