Paints "Tikkurila" for outdoor work on wood. Description and types of material

Concern "Tikkurila" - a major manufacturer of paint materials intended for the processing of wooden surfaces. In European countries, he is the leader among the manufacturers of this material.

Benefits

Paints "Tikkurila" for outdoor woodwork were created for the harsh northern conditions of Finland, and therefore are the most effective in use. They perfectly protect against mechanical and atmospheric loads. Paints "Tikkurila" for outdoor work on wood prevent the formation of mold and fungi, they are resistant to burning out in the sun. Also reliably protect the surface, which they have processed, from the influence of climatic factors. This is an important property of this material. The tests show that the "Tikkurila" paints for outdoor woodwork, thanks to the three-layer system, which includes a priming antiseptic and 2 coats of finish paint, achieve maximum surface protection. With the observance of all deposition technologies, the service life of this material is more than 10 years.

Varieties

Paints are divided into such as oil and water-based. Let's consider each variety in more detail:

• Oil paints are made on the basis of drying oil (a product of chemical processing of vegetable oils). This material is much inferior to coatings based on film-forming alkyds. Oil paints dry for a long time, for several days the surface remains sticky. They also have insufficient gloss, strength and shorter service life.
• Alkyd-based paints do not have any blemishes that are oily. They dry quickly, and also have increased hardness. One such material is the paint "Tikkurila" for outdoor work on wood "Tejo" on an alkyd basis. Their high popularity is explained by the absence of streaks, a wide choice of color scale, quick drying. Therefore, these days they retain their leading positions in the oil paints market. "Tejo" is perfectly absorbed, and its surface is distinguished by its high durability. This material is recommended for painting external surfaces, and also it can be used as a primer. But this is not the only product based on alkyd. There is also a primer material called Oljypohja. It is used to treat a wooden surface before applying acrylate or oil paint. Forming a dense film, it creates high water repellent properties, and unlike dispersed materials, it penetrates more efficiently into the tree.
• Water-dispersed materials are extremely resistant and quick to dry. In Finland, they have been used successfully for many years. The best binding agent for external use are acrylate dispersions, which give the paint a high elasticity. Thanks to this material, this material perfectly tolerates deformation of the substrate and atmospheric loads. Acrylate paints have a greater gloss compared to oil paints. Also, the color is much better preserved.

This type of material has the following subspecies:

1. "Ultra Classic" is a polyacrylate paint, which has excellent water-repellent properties, which contributes to the excellent protection of the facade from rainwater.
2. "Peak-Tejo" is a water-soluble material for wooden exterior surfaces, which has high elasticity and weather resistance. It is endowed with excellent resistance to various types of fungi.
3. "Vinha" is a "hybrid" material from antiseptic and paint. The surface treated by it retains the visible structure of the tree. Also this material creates a monophonic matte coating, which has a long service life.
