What kinds of coatings are there and how to choose them?

Paint is a common material for interior decoration of walls, and many people will use paint for decoration. When buying coatings, we should also distinguish between different types of products. What kinds of paints are there? After understanding different kinds of coatings, it is often necessary to choose. How to choose general coatings? Next, Bian Xiao will tell you about it.

1. What kinds of paints are there?

(1) interior wall coating

1, latex paint

This is a kind of material that is used frequently at present, and everyone is familiar with it. It is a simple and beautiful wall, which has been deeply loved by people. The modern minimalist style that keeps up with the trend has a more perfect decoration effect, but there are many disputes about affordable white paint, and problems such as poor environmental protection and short service life have been difficult to solve.

2, artistic texture paint

This is a kind of material imported from Europe in recent years, which is mainly divided into two categories. Among them, real stone powder is added in the production of texture coating, which makes the painted wall feel very high, so it is mostly used in hotels, guesthouses, high-grade villas and so on. And art paint will have a changeable effect on the wall, so even if there is only one color of art paint, it can produce different effects because of different artistic techniques of workers, and improve the interior decoration effect.

(2) Functional coatings

1, waterproof coating

As an indispensable material in home, it can effectively prevent the wall from being damp and moldy due to water leakage. Generally speaking, this kind of paint is used in kitchens and bathrooms, especially on the walls around water pipes and nozzles. Waterproof paint must be applied, and ceramic tiles should be used in the bathroom.

2, fire retardant coating

To a certain extent, it ensures the safety of the home and has the function of maintaining the development of the fire, because the thermal insulation film of this kind of products will produce flame-retardant gas when it meets the fire, thus effectively protecting the home, and it will generally be applied to the protection of the wooden floor and internal wall of the home.

Second, how to choose paint

1, looking for environmental protection product logo

With the enhancement of consumers' awareness of environmental protection, it is best to buy environmentally friendly products. When buying paint, you can let the merchants show all kinds of certificates about the products. According to the expert's warning, all the packages of health and environmental protection products have the certification mark of environmental protection products in China. If the products are painted, there is also a test report given by a third party.

2. Specific transparency

Brand paint products will provide product sample experience, and consumers can observe the transparency of paint during the experience. Only paint products with good transparency can give wood a better texture. If the paint is white, this product is inferior. Not only is the smear effect poor, but it also contains many substances harmful to human body, so you should look carefully when buying it.

Step 3 draw a template

Good paint has smooth surface, high hardness and is not easy to scratch. Better protect wood products. Consumers can scratch the paint surface with nails or thick hard paper when buying. If there are obvious scratches on the paint surface, it means that the paint hardness is low, and the later use will seriously affect the beauty and life of wood products. Try not to buy it.

4. Touch the template

You can also judge the quality of paint by touching it with your hands. Generally, a good paint has a high solid content, so it is very delicate and feels full. On the contrary, inferior paint contains impurities because of its low solid content. Even after brushing many times, I still feel that the paint film is thin and I can see the obvious graininess.

5, yellowing resistance characteristics

Anti-yellowing is an important sign to judge the quality of coatings. If the paint has poor yellowing resistance, the furniture in the later period will change color and become old in a short time. Especially white paint and light paint are the most obvious. You can put two kinds of paints in direct sunlight. The faster the paint turns yellow, the worse the quality of the paint.

What kinds of paints do you have? It can be seen that there are many kinds of coatings, and different kinds of coatings will play different roles. Not all paints can be used for wall decoration. How to choose coatings? Choosing coatings depends on your own needs, and choosing the coating products you need can ensure that you can buy the most suitable coating products.
