Odorless metal paints for interior applications: selection criteria

Odorless paint is presented on the modern market of building and finishing materials in a wide range. The emulsion is a dispersion solution, where latex, acrylic, polysiloxane and polyvinyl acetate components can act as binders.

Due to the absence in its composition of solvents, the paint has no odor, and is also an excellent solution for carrying out paint and varnish works without limiting the presence of children, allergies and the elderly.

Odorless emulsions are very popular among consumers, because they are easy to use, easy to use and have a number of important advantages:

• High color fastness painted surfaces.The paint tolerates intense exposure to ultraviolet rays, maintaining the brightness and color saturation throughout the life of the product.

• Anti-slip effect. The paint applied on the metal floor forms a non-slip surface, which reduces the risk of injury, and also increases the safety of the room.
• Fast drying allows to use the painted surface in 2 hours. This significantly reduces the time of finishing work, allowing you to complete the repair in a short time.
• Ecological safety and hygiene. Due to its composition, odorless paints have no harmful effects on people and pets.
• High moisture resistance allows the use of emulsions in rooms with high humidity.

• Fire safety. The absence of solvents ensures high resistance of the emulsion to ignition.
• The presence of anti-corrosion additives Some types of emulsions protect the metal surface from the appearance and spread of rust.
• Paint is easy to apply on a metal surface. and is well washed from clothes, hands and tools.
• Wide price range allows you to choose the emulsion at a comfortable price for each buyer.

Odorless paints for painting metal surfaces are available in a huge range. The compositions differ in composition, technical characteristics and operating conditions. By type of binder, emulsions are of several types.

These are water-based elastic enamels (better known as “water-based emulsion”). Synthetic latex particles combine and form a thin, uniform film when dry. This allows you to form an even layer on the painted surface.

By their texture, latex paints are matte, semi-gloss, glossy and superglossy. Matte compositions well mask the base defects, and glossy ones require the preparation of a perfectly flat surface. Latex paints are non-toxic, odorless, dry quickly, have high wear and moisture resistance. The emulsion is available only in white. It is applied both with use of colorings, and in a pure form.

These are quick-drying paints that are highly resistant to aggressive environmental influences.Due to this, emulsions can be used for interior work both in heated and in cold rooms.

For painting radiators, there is a special acrylic thermo-enamel that is able to withstand high temperatures well, while maintaining its color (without cracking).

Work can be done with hot batteries.. In this case, the paint is completely dry within an hour. When painting metal structures in unheated premises, you should carefully read the product labeling, and then purchase a frost-resistant option.

This type of enamel is made on the basis of oils, linseed oil and color pigments. The material is widely used for painting metal surfaces inside warm and cold rooms.

The paint has a high elasticity and covering, forms a smooth and smooth surface. and has a low cost. The disadvantage of oil enamels is a long drying time.

Alkyd paints have high wear resistance, brightness and color saturation, as well as the complete absence of odor and long service life.Enamel is suitable for painting radiators and heated towel rails in the bathroom.

Alkyd surface is not afraid of high humidity and is resistant to chemicals. This makes it possible to paint tanks for fuels and lubricants and other liquids of chemical origin with such paint.

Similar the mixture is frost resistant and has anti-corrosion effect, thanks to which it can paint not only metal structures of internal premises, but also gates, fences and other objects located on the street. The presence of flame retardants in the composition significantly reduces the flammability of enamel, and the presence of antiseptics resists the appearance of mold and fungus.

It is necessary to make painting of metal surfaces at a temperature of 10 to 30 degrees, and the humidity of the air should not exceed 75%. Before the surface should be cleaned from dust, degrease and dry. Then you need to apply a primer mixture and wait for it to dry completely.

The use of a primer significantly increases the adhesion of materials and has a moderate leveling effect. It is better to use a special anti-corrosion compound,which prevents the formation of rust, and also stops the process of destruction of the metal in areas already damaged by rust

The most famous companies that produce odorless paints are:

• English concern "Dulux".
• Enterprise from Germany "Caparol".
• Tikkurila from Finland.

The products of these companies are widely known and are in high demand in the domestic and European markets. From Russian manufacturers can distinguish the company Lacraengaged in the production of paints and varnishes for over 20 years. This brand produces high-quality paint at prices much lower than that of eminent foreign counterparts.

Odorless paints are rapidly conquering the market and are a popular and sought-after material. Not inferior in performance to traditional enamels, they allow you to create interesting color combinations and guarantee complete safety in use.

• The lack of smell, fast drying and attractiveness of the painted surface make acrylic emulsion an ideal solution for painting radiators.

• Compatibility of paint with any color scheme provides ample opportunities for creative approach.

• The use of an alkyd mixture for painting the floor ensures a non-slip surface and an attractive appearance of the base.

• Frost-resistant additives allow the emulsion to be used for interior painting of garage doors.
