Features of latex paint
Time:2021-11-03

1. Using water as the dispersion medium, it is safe and low pollution, generally only contains less than 5% of the co-solvent, and is low-toxic

2. Convenient construction, all kinds of painting, rolling, spraying, and easy cleaning of tools after construction

3. The latex coating has good air permeability and can be applied on the surface of wet substrates, and it is also very suitable for construction in hot and humid environments.

4. Metal latex paint is diluted with water and has no fire hazard. It is very suitable for the cross operation of painting and welding in the shipbuilding industry.

5. The coating dries quickly, allowing recoating within 0.5~2h, which greatly shortens the construction period

6. The solid content of latex coatings under construction viscosity is high, and the coating film is thick at one time, which improves construction efficiency

7. The resin of the emulsion dispersion system has high relative molecular weight, good weather resistance, and good mechanical properties, alkali resistance and water resistance. It has good gloss and decoration when used as architectural coating; it has general protective performance when used as metal latex coating.

8. The disadvantage of latex paint is that it has poor film-forming properties at low temperatures, and generally needs to be applied above 10°C; the paint is falsely crisp and flows, easy to thicken, and the fluidity and wet film leveling of the paint are poor; the viscosity rises rapidly after the water volatilizes, and the coating film is easy to produce Bubbles and pinholes; the surface tension of water is large, and the wettability of the coating to the substrate is poor. In the process of paint making and use, strong mechanical force will destroy the stability of latex paint and make the paint flocculate and deteriorate.
