Paint is a commonly used material in home decoration. There are many colors to choose from, and the visual effects they bring to people are also different. And the walls decorated with paints with different functions are also different. There may be many owners who are not very clear about water-based coatings. It doesn’t matter, let me introduce to you what water-based paint is? What are the types of water-based paint?
Paint is a commonly used material in home decoration. Paint has a variety of colors to choose from, and it brings different visual effects to people. And the walls decorated with paints with different functions are also different. There may be many owners who are not very clear about water-based coatings. It doesn’t matter. Next, I will introduce to you what water-based paint is? What types of water-based paint are there?
What is water-based paint?
1. Water-dilutable paint It refers to a coating prepared with a post-emulsified emulsion as a film-forming substance, in which the solvent-based resin is dissolved in an organic solvent, and then with the help of an emulsifier, strong mechanical stirring is used to disperse the resin in the water to form an emulsion, which is called a post-emulsified emulsion. The finished paint can be diluted with water during application. Water-dispersed coatings mainly refer to coatings formulated with synthetic resin emulsions as film-forming substances.
2. As the name suggests, water-based paint is a paint that uses water as the medium. For example, we have corresponding water-based paint products for interior and exterior wall paints, metal paints, automotive paints, etc. It can be seen that water-based paints have been widely used in many industries.
3. We are generally concerned about water-based wood coatings, which are technically difficult and high-tech products among wood coatings. Water-based wood coatings have the advantages of being non-toxic, environmentally friendly, odorless, with very little volatile matter, non-flammable and non-explosive, highly safe, non-yellowing, and have a large painting area.
4. The film-forming material formulated with water-dispersed paint (latex paint) is synthetic resin emulsion. Water-soluble coatings mainly refer to water-soluble resins as film-forming materials, as well as inorganic polymer water-based resins and water-soluble epoxy resins. The film former of water-reducible coatings is a post-emulsified emulsion.
What are the types of water-based paints?
1. Water-soluble paint: This type of water-based paint contains other types of resin raw materials such as water-soluble resin. The resin behind the surface can form a film to protect the wall. The emergence of water-based paint is called the "third paint revolution" by the industry because of its unparalleled environmental performance.
2. Water-dilutable paint: It mainly contains emulsified emulsion to dissolve the resin. During construction, water is directly added to dilute it to achieve the construction effect.
3. Water-dispersed paint: The main principle is to use synthetic resin as the main form of emulsion, which is latex paint.
The above article has introduced to you all the content about what is water-based paint? What types of water-based paint are there? Now everyone should have some understanding of water-based paint. The decorative effect of water-based paint is special. It is obvious and has relatively powerful functions, so many families now start to use water-based paint. There are many types of water-based paints, and you can choose the appropriate water-based paint according to your needs.
