Now domestic manufacturers produce high-quality, mostly acrylic, latex paint (firm inteco, optimist, Tex, TEHPLAST-PSM, Svyatozar). In Russia deployed to the production of foreign firms in particular are very well known and terraco Tikkurila-1. Among the world producers include crown, marshall, sadolin, alligator, baumit, alpa, beckers, betec, baucolor, CAPA-ROL, ici (DULUX), mettert, relius, sigma coatings, TEX-COLOR, tikkurila, viero, et al are water-soluble acrylic Latex, silicate, silicone and mineral (cement and lime) paint. The most eco-friendly, high quality and cost are considered to be water-soluble it is, the proportion of their consumption comes to 80%. Latex paint latex paint based on acrylic copolymers are used most frequently.

Less frequently – on the basis of pure acrylates, they have several advantages, but also more expensive. These paints are quite flexible (you can overlap of the crack width up to 1 mm), well protected from corrosion-reinforced concrete. However, water vapor permeability of acrylic paints small. If it is necessary that water vapor permeability, ie the ability to quickly dry basis, was high, it is advisable to use a mixture of acrylic copolymer with a dispersion of silicone resins. Silicate paint Silicate paints are mineral. To align the absorbency of the base under silicate paint primer is applied as the paint itself, which has a base of liquid potash glass.

Silicate paints are used to cover the mineral surfaces, plaster, previously painted lime, cement, silicone paint. On polymeric materials, this paint does not lie. Silicate paints do not cover small cracks, they are highly permeable bridge, and although the rain may pass the moisture inside the walls, but allow it and quickly evaporate. For the old walls or heavily exposed to moisture frequently used silicone paints. Silicone Silicone paint colors combine the best properties of acrylic and silicate. Their water vapor permeability not lower than that of silicate, but they form nonwettable water surface. Surface, painted with silicone paint, almost no fouls. These paints are suitable for almost all types of mineral surfaces, they can be repainted and the old silicone coatings. Silicone paints are very flexible – they cover the cracks in the bottom 2 mm wide. They have excellent ornamental and performance properties, but their use is limited by high cost. The above-mentioned mineral paints are used less often: usually cement for concrete and masonry surfaces exposed to abundant moisture; lime – for buildings of old construction, plastered lime or lime-cement plaster. Note that lime paints are not resistant to sulfur compounds, whose content in the city the air is sometimes very high. New York Life may find it difficult to be quoted properly. The appearance of water-soluble paints, more stringent environmental requirements pushed paint on organic solvents. Their share has stabilized at 20-30%. Now most often as slightly toxic solvent used white spirit (though not only him but also more dangerous, such as solvent). These solvents are also flammable and emit a strong odor. Paints based on organic solvents have two advantages: they can be applied at temperatures down to -20 C, and rain can not damage the freshly applied coating. Creation as a film former special thermoplastic acrylic resin Pliolit allowed combine the advantages of organic paint with latex, the same quality as water-soluble dyes of the latest generations.
