Enamel KO-8101: technical characteristics and quality standards
The choice of interior finishing materials is a very important step. This also applies to paints and varnishes. It is important to pay attention to what characteristics the paint has, how to work with it, and how long it will last.
KO-8101 enamel is very popular with consumers. About what qualities make the material in demand, you will learn from the article.
Properties and qualities
Enamel KO-8101 is a modern paintwork material produced using the latest technologies. The paint has a high resistance and can be applied even for painting the roof.
Below is a list of properties and characteristics:
- rust protection;
- it is not erased and does not burn out;
- has water repellency;
- environmentally friendly material;
- fireproof;
- maintains temperature from-60 to +605 degrees.
Areas of use
The enamel of this class has a fairly extensive scope. It can be used not only in the interior, but also for outdoor work. Due to its moisture resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures, the material is used to update the worn out and burnt roof. Paint is easy to lay down, making the surface perfectly smooth. Also such material can be covered with a brick or concrete surface.
In this case, the layer will have to be made thicker, and because of the rough surface, the material consumption will increase.
Enamel KO-8101 is widely used in automotive production. Here the main role is played by the fact that the paint creates a protective layer on the parts and does not give in to corrosion. Engine parts, exhaust pipes and even wheels on wheels will retain their original appearance for a long time. It is also worth noting that the most common colors are black and silver. This adds detail to the presentability.
Very often, paint is used in production (factories, shops, factories) and in rooms with high daily traffic (cafes, galleries, sports halls,clubs) as a finishing material. Enamel has a high wear resistance, respectively, able to withstand heavy loads. Paint is not affected by oils, petroleum products and chemical solutions.
Enamel coating on the surface
When you buy paint, you need to ask the seller a certificate of conformity and a quality certificate. This will guarantee that you have bought a good material that will last a long time. Painting any surface requires preparation and is carried out in several stages.
Stage 1: Surface Preparation
Before you start painting, you should take care of the cleanliness of the surface. It should not be dust, moisture and other liquids. If this is required, the material should be degreased with ordinary solvent. To do this, apply a small amount of it on a rag and carefully wipe the surface.
It is not recommended to apply enamel on an already painted product. If, nevertheless, some material has already been applied, then it is better to get rid of it to the maximum. This will guarantee that the paint will fall flat and will not lag behind in time.
Stage 2: enamel coating
Enamel should be thoroughly shaken until smooth, then open the lid and check the viscosity of the material. If necessary, it can be diluted with a solvent. Enamel must be applied to the surface in two layers, making a break between applications for about two hours. If concrete, brick or plaster acts as a surface, then the number of layers should be at least three.
Stage 3: heat treatment
Heat treatment of paint occurs within 15-20 minutes at temperatures above 200 degrees. This is necessary to protect the surface from the influence of substances such as gasoline, kerosene, oil. These aggressive solutions can significantly shorten the life of the film.
With proper use of material consumption per 1 m2 will be from 55 to 175 grams. Store the paint in a dark room, away from direct sunlight at a temperature not exceeding 15 degrees.
