Is sunflower latex paint really waterproof?

At present, when decorating a house, the most indispensable thing is latex paint, which has a great decorative effect and is relatively easy to clean.

However, many people have a wrong perception of latex paint, thinking that it is a waterproof material. But this is not the case, because so far, waterproof latex paint is not waterproof in the full sense, and some are only waterproof coatings.

The reason why some brands of latex paint is under the banner of waterproofing is not the case, it is just relatively water-resistant, but there is no waterproofness.

Therefore, it is okay to wipe with a damp paper towel or damp towel, but not too hard and not for too long to soak in water.

Therefore, I don't think the latex paint of Sunflower is waterproof in the true sense of the word.

The three major functions of latex paint:

1. Protection.

Anti-corrosion, waterproof, oil-proof, chemical-resistant, light-resistant, temperature-resistant, etc. The wall is exposed to the atmosphere and is eroded by oxygen, moisture, etc., causing damage such as weathering of cement. Applying latex paint to the surface of the wall to form a protective film can prevent or delay the occurrence and development of these damages, extending their service life.

Second, the decorative role.

Latex paint has a variety of colors, painted on the wall can get a colorful, colorful appearance, play a role in beautifying the human living environment.

3. Other functions.

Different latex paint varieties offer a variety of different special features. , such as: electrical insulation, shielding electromagnetic waves, anti-static generation, etc.; biochemical effects such as anti-mildew, sterilization, insecticide, and anti-adhesion of marine organisms; High temperature resistance, heat preservation, flame retardation prevention, ablation insulation and other thermal energy functions.

Not waterproof.

At present, there is no standard for waterproof latex paint in the country, only waterproof coatings such as polymer cement waterproof coatings, K11, 991 and so on. The so-called waterproof latex paint is a selling point of many manufacturers, or the misleading of dealers, in fact, latex paint can only meet the standard of water resistance, and can not play the role of waterproof coating, and the concept of waterproof and water resistance is a big difference.

The waterproof function of latex paint is usually said to be strong water resistance, and it is no problem to wash it gently with a damp cloth, but it cannot be soaked in water for a long time. Generally, the front of latex paint will be marked with the name, trademark, net content, composition, use method and precautions. Pay attention to the production date and shelf life, the shelf life of each brand of latex paint varies from 1 year to 5 years, and buy products that have been produced recently as much as possible.

Latex paints have many advantages that are different from traditional wall paints, such as easy to apply, fast drying, water resistance, and good scrub resistance. In China, people are accustomed to use synthetic resin emulsion as the base material, water as the dispersion medium, adding pigments, fillers (also known as physique pigments) and additives, and the coatings made by a certain process are called latex paints, also known as latex coatings.

If you buy environmentally friendly quality, such as German Dufang paint, Dulux, Nippon, etc., it is generally safe; But if there is no quality inspection or it is directly a fake latex paint, it must be unsafe.

Latex paint basically does not appear 100% free of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, but it can be controlled to a very small size, and many large brands have noticed this now. Therefore, when you buy latex paint, you must go to the real product and the best store, don't be greedy.

What are the characteristics of sunflower latex paint? Is it worth buying? It has the following characteristics:

1.Good sealing, effective sealing of the wall, deep protection of the wall. 2.

Strong adhesion, strengthen the adhesion of the topcoat, prevent the paint film from falling off the patent leather. 3.Strong alkali resistance, resist alkaline corrosion of the substrate, and avoid flower and foaming on the wall.

4.Moisture-proof and mildew-proof, control the moisture at the bottom of the wall, and resist the growth of moisture and mold.

Construction process of latex paint:

Check first: first check whether the wall is strong and flat, if the wall is defective, it should be reported to the property or developer in time to repair, or individual small holes should be filled with plaster.

Post-protection: When painting latex paint, there will be dust or putty, paint or other glue dripping, and the furniture will be stained if you are not careful, so you should do a good job of protecting this aspect when operating.

Dealing with putty: putty treatment is very important, from the preparation of the wall to the treatment of scraping putty, be sure to scrape 2-3 putty after leveling, and after the putty is dry, we have to polish the putty to flat.

Brush primer: After the putty is processed, it is time to brush the paint, first of all, the primer, only need to brush the primer on it, the brush must be even, and wait until it is dry.

Brush the top coat: After the primer is dry, brush the morning light latex paint twice, every two or three hours, remember to wait for the paint to dry again, and pay attention to waterproof, sunscreen and drought protection.

Acceptance: The last is the acceptance work, after the treatment, it is necessary to check whether the wall is strong, flat and uniform in color, and whether there are cracks. It is recommended to find a master, and I don't mind that you can go to Dianbao to grab an order to see if there is a suitable one.
