Modern enamels for the floor

Provide extra shine and protectionsurface capable of enamel for the floor. They are fast drying and resistant to moisture, chemical detergents and abrasion. The application of compounds is possible using conventional techniques using a brush or roller.

The composition of the coating for wood surfaces includes solvent, alkyd varnish, resistant fillers and pigments, as well as additives that enhance the characteristics.

Application

On the surface of enamel for the floor is sometimes formedthe film to be removed, after which the composition is thoroughly mixed. If it is distinguished by excessive density, the problem can be solved by dilution with white spirit or turpentine followed by filtration. For application to a painted floor, preliminary preparation is required, which includes the removal of a peeling layer and dirt, cleaning from dust.

Concrete coating

These formulations are covered not onlysurface with a wooden base. Today in the stores you can find enamel for concrete floors, the task of which is to provide a protective coating for structures in any premises, both residential and with a high level of mechanical loads (shopping centers, industrial premises, car workshops). Specialized composition based on wear-resistant additives, synthetic polymers and resins ensures no damage with significant mechanical stress.

Kinds

Enamel is a modern type of paintwork.The coating, which is resistant to ultraviolet radiation, humidity, is distinguished by a convenient distribution of the composition and a sufficient degree of hiding. This look is intended for a certain surface and provides its protection against environmental conditions.

The compositions are classified on their basis and binding elements into the following types:

• nitrocellulose dries quickly, not affected by atmospheric conditions and moisture;
• perchlorovinyl floor enamels are not destroyed when alkalis and acids are injected;
• Pentaphthalic are mainly used for external work, as well as for painting wooden and metal parts, regardless of the ambient conditions in the room;
• Oil are more common in the processing of wooden elements.

Alphabetic and numeric values ​​that can be found on the package indicate characteristics, performance features and composition.

Features

PF alkyd enamel for the floor is optimalan option for applying to wooden surfaces, forming a shiny coating with sufficient hardness and wear resistance. Among the positive aspects, it is worth noting good adhesion with any kind of base, including painted ones, and resistance to mechanical damage.

The disadvantages of the surface are easily hidden due to the high hiding power. Imported weather resistant pigments provide light resistance.

An important property of the material is itscomposition. Due to the presence of solvent and dryers, enamel is not affected by active chemicals and mechanical damage. Epoxy-based concrete coating paint has similar characteristics.

What to look for when choosing

Distinctive technical properties providefast and high-quality distribution, no consequences when exposed to detergent compositions and some types of solvents. It is worth noting a small palette of colors, because of which decreases the possibility of use. The paint has two shades: light brown and red-brown. Because of this, enamel 266 for the floor is used as a protective compound in rooms that have another decorative coating.

Also, before the acquisition should pay attentionfor the time allotted for complete drying and consumption. The coating consisting of two layers is ready for use in a day. The average consumption provided that the surface is pre-treated is 160 g / sq. m

Features of use

Enamel for flooring PF 266 is able to provide all of these properties only in the case of special preparatory actions that prepare the composition for work.

The paint should be thoroughly mixed beforeachieve a uniform consistency using a paint nozzle or electric tool. For dilution of enamel, solvent or white spirit is used in an amount not exceeding 10-15% of the total mass. Then the material is filtered through ordinary gauze rolled in two layers.

Surfaces that require staining shouldbe cleaned of dirt and dust with detergents and then rinsed with clean water. Next, the base is polished, cleaned of dust and rinsed again. After all these manipulations, you can begin to work. In this case, you need to remember about some rules that require mandatory compliance.
