Structural paint: characteristic, application

The use of paints as a finishing coat of the surface began a long time ago. Over time, this material has changed many times, which reflected in different ways on its characteristics and properties. This has helped to achieve a high-quality application of a layer of paint and a good surface structure.

Structural paint: characteristic

Structural paint is used to impart a decorative decorative look to the facade of the building and interior walls, to obtain a beautiful shape and create a protective layer from negative natural influences. This coating for the facade and walls has excellent adhesion to the surface.

Structural paint has a high vapor permeability, in other words, it can breathe. It has a high weather resistance, resistance to industrial air pollution. It is resistant to various mechanical influences. In addition, it is an elastic and moisture resistant material.

Specifications

• Structural paint is dissolved with water or any other solvent.

• As a binder is an acrylic latex.

• The consumption of the material is 1.5 kg / m².

• Duration of drying at a temperature of + 23 ° C - up to 2 hours.

• The material is stored in a hermetically sealed package, at a temperature not exceeding + 5 ° C.

Benefits of coating

Due to the perfectly selected composition of the components, the structural paint has an ideal viscosity. It allows you to create deep and unique scenery, and with the help of a spatula and flowers it's easy to create a variety.

Structural paint can be given any color. For their interior, everyone can choose the right shade. This finishing material is also convenient because the tinting can be performed even at home (if there is a color pigment and a mixer).

After applying to the surface, the structural paint for the walls dries quickly enough to form a strong film that protects against the effects of such disruptors as temperature changes, snow, rain, wind. Of course, this protection is not the most durable, but for 5 years you can be completely calm.

Features of application

The process of applying paint to the surface - the work is not too difficult, it is much harder to prepare the substrate for painting. After all, it depends on how well this work is performed, and the appearance of the walls and, most importantly, the long-term nature of this coating will depend.

External application of structural paint

Brick, cement-sand plasters and concrete should be cleaned of dirt, dust and other substances that can reduce adhesion. Surface primer, if necessary, align. The old painted base should be removed mechanically (an industrial hair dryer can be used to simplify the work ). For exterior work, structural facade paint is used.

Internal processing

• Plaster, gypsum clean and primed.

• Plywood, wood-chip surfaces and wood-fiber boards should be cleaned from dust, primed.

• Surfaces painted with water-based paint, cleaned, rinsed with water and primed. Paint on an adhesive basis, calcareous and chalky, wallpaper and glue, as well as anything that can dissolve in water, must be removed. Dry the surface and apply a primer.

• Old lime plaster, which has lost strength, should be removed. Priming, if necessary - aligning.

• Oil paint can not be removed. It should be carefully treated with sandpaper and applied with a primer.

The substrate must be perfectly even, so that there will be no holes and bumps on the applied structural paint in the future. For this, the surface must be well treated with plaster and putty.
