Which is better, silicone paint or acrylic paint?
1, silicone coating is actually a water-based environmental protection coating based on silicone rubber emulsion and its nano-composite emulsion, mixed with inorganic fillers and various additives. The new color silicone coating has good permeability to building materials such as cement slurry, concrete matrix and wood.
Through related applications, it is found that when silicone coating is used on concrete matrix, its permeability can reach 0.3mm, and it can be firmly grasped. It is suitable for the project of pasting or plastering the external surface after painting, and it is unique in repairing the leakage of basement, bathroom and toilet, which is incomparable to other waterproof materials.
2. Acrylic coating is a one-component self-drying weather-resistant and anti-corrosive coating based on traditional acrylic resin and added with recognized long-life chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, weather-resistant pigments and fillers, weather-resistant additives and other advanced technologies.
Acrylic coatings have excellent weatherability, good gloss and color retention, and more corrosion resistance, so they are often used for decoration of automobiles, exterior walls and floors.
3. Which is better, silicone paint or acrylic paint? In fact, both have their own characteristics. Silicone coatings are mostly used for waterproof buildings, while acrylic coatings are mostly used for exterior wall decoration, so you can choose according to your specific needs.
Matters needing attention in silicone coating construction
After spraying silicon water, it is washed by rain, so be sure to check whether it affects the waterproof effect immediately. The waterproof effect is observed by dripping water on the base surface. If the water drops are absorbed, they are not waterproof and should be re-sprayed.
When maintaining the old project, it is necessary to plug the leaking parts and clean the base surface first, and then carry out the construction according to the above methods.
Handling of special parts. Yin and Yang angles should be rounded and compacted. When doing the external waterproofing of the leveling layer, it is recommended to apply 30mm thick waterproof mortar. If they are connected together, leave a slope shape. Cement slurry should be used.
Silicone coating is a strongly alkaline material, so contact with skin should be avoided as much as possible. When preparing silicone water, you should wear rubber gloves to protect your eyes. When the silicon water splashes on the surface or hands, it can be washed with clear water. After the construction is completed, clean up the construction tools.
Silicone waterproofing agent has good weatherability. In winter construction, if freezing occurs, its effect and quality will not change after heating and dissolving.
Which is better, silicone paint or acrylic paint? Both of them have their own characteristics, and they need to be judged according to the different directions of use.
