Latex paint has a wide variety of colors, bright colors, light weight, and the characteristics of fast and fast building decoration, making it widely used in the interior and exterior wall decoration of buildings. Latex paint is also called synthetic resin emulsion paint. The pigments and fillers are inorganic minerals and will not cause harm to the human body. The amount of additives used in the latex paint system is very small. As long as the company strictly controls and chooses products with low organic volatile content and no heavy metals, it will not cause harm to the human body.

What are the characteristics of high-quality latex paint

1. It is safe, non-toxic and odorless, which completely solves the labor protection and environmental pollution problems caused by the volatilization of toxic gases from organic solvents in painting, and fundamentally eliminates the risk of fire.

2. Easy to construct. It can be applied by brush, roller, spray, smear, scraper, etc. The construction tools can be cleaned with water.

3. The coating dries quickly and can be applied two or three times a day, so the construction efficiency is high and the cost is low.

4. Good color retention and weather resistance. Most exterior wall latex white paints are not easy to yellow and have weather resistance of more than 10 years.

5. It has good air permeability and strong alkali resistance. Therefore, when the humidity inside and outside the coating is greatly different, it is not easy to bubble. Indoors, the coating is not easy to "sweat". It is especially suitable for painting on cement and plaster surfaces of interior and exterior walls of buildings.

6. Latex paint has a wide variety of colors, bright colors, light quality, and can be used for building decoration, making it widely used in interior and exterior wall decoration of buildings.

How to distinguish true and false latex paint

1. Look: Real latex paint looks oily and shiny, and a thin layer of clear emulsion similar to motor oil floats on the surface of the bucket. If it is fake latex paint, a thin layer of water will float on it.

2. Smell: Generally, real latex paint has a light fragrance, similar to the sour smell of soil. Fake latex paint has a strong and pungent smell of soil, or no smell at all.

3. Apply: Real latex paint on the market is very delicate and smooth when applied to fingers. Fake latex paint is astringent and grainy.

4. Brush: Real latex paint is smooth to brush and has strong covering power. Fake latex paint has no covering power and is not very hard after drying.

What are the properties of latex paint

1. The film-forming speed is fast. After the construction of architectural latex paint, the film is quickly formed as the water evaporates. Under good construction environment conditions, multiple coats can be applied in one day, which greatly shortens the construction period and saves construction costs.

2. Strong hiding power. Good hiding power is a component of high-quality latex paint, which means better effect, less time consumption and more economical painting work.

3. Adhesion and easy cleaning. Good adhesion can avoid cracks and flaws, and easy cleaning ensures the maintenance of gloss and color. Therefore, they are important indicators for selecting latex paint.

4. Applicability. Latex paint with good applicability will not cause bubbles or splashes during operation, and it will bring smooth walls to the room.

5. Elastic latex paint has excellent waterproof function, preventing water from penetrating the wall and damaging the cement, thus protecting the wall. It also dries quickly. At 25°C, the surface can be dry in 30 minutes and completely dry in 120 minutes.

6. Washability. The ability to wash with water when dirty is the main reason that attracts consumers to buy latex paint. Many latex paints also use the example of how to easily wipe off children's graffiti on the wall with a wet cloth during promotion. High-quality latex paint can be washed more than 2,000 times.

7. Green and environmentally friendly. Latex paint is also called synthetic resin emulsion paint. The pigments and fillers are inorganic minerals and will not cause harm to the human body. The amount of additives used in the latex paint system is very small. As long as the company strictly controls and chooses products with low organic volatile content and no heavy metals, it will not cause harm to the human body.
