Material Composition
The composition of VEAK 1180, which relates to paints and varnishes of the acrylic group, contains an acrylic dispersion. It is this component that forms the basis of the water emulsion - it is here ½ of the total composition. According to GOST 19214-80, among the components of the product also appear:
- white pigment (dye);
- preservatives;
- plasticizers;
- defoamers;
- other targeted additives;
- adhesive thickener KLC.
to contents ↑Depending on the manufacturer, latex may also be included, but it is not always present. All of these components form a high-quality material that is resistant to water and household chemicals, so the paint is recognized as washable. It has no unpleasant odor, it is not toxic and can be used in any room.
Paint advantages
The material is suitable for application on walls, ceilings and even facades of a building (for outdoor use). Various subtypes of VEAK 1180 material are available - interior, facade, universal. They are distinguished by an increased amount of one or another component, which provides more pronounced water-repellent and other properties.
Means of the brand have many advantages:
- excellent adhesion to the surface;
- quick drying;
- reasonable cost and economical consumption;
- environmental friendliness;
- fire safety, explosion safety;
- strength and durability of the coating;
- simplicity of painting;
- getting a smooth matte surface.
The paint is easily washed off the tools, so they can be used repeatedly. The product has great resistance to abrasion and the action of water - the coating will withstand 5 washing cycles, it stays on the wall and ceiling for a long time, does not fade (if we are talking about tinted paint). VEAK 1180 is suitable for application on any coating, including the possibility to paint the wallpaper and apply it to old paint. Problems can only occur with metal and glossy surfaces - adhesion will be poor.
Product Features
The state standard designates the main technical characteristics of VEAK 1180 paint. Each batch is accompanied by a passport and certificate of compliance, which reflects the results of the test means. Here are the main parameters, which may vary depending on the manufacturer:
- viscosity on a VZ-4 viscometer at 20 degrees - 15-45 s;
- drying time - 5-12 hours;
- adhesion of the coating - 1.5-3 points;
- density - 1.3-1.5 g / cm3;
- solids content - 50-65%;
- consumption per 1 square. m - 135-250 g;
- resistance to mechanical stress (abrasion) - 3.5 kg / μm;
- coating thickness per layer - 125-170 microns;
- film coverage - up to 120 g / m.
to contents ↑It is possible to store a water emulsion at a temperature of +5 degrees and above for a year. Freezing is allowed. The maximum temperature for storage is +40 degrees, but in such conditions, the product can be no more than a month.
Manufacturers and price
Paint production is carried out by several companies, so the price and specifications vary. Also, the cost varies from the type of paints, here are the approximate prices per liter:
- fireproof paint - 160 rubles;
- interior - 40 rubles;
- universal - 55 rubles;
- front - 70 rubles.
Among manufacturers, the most common products are AKVA brand products; this company produces the best adhesion materials. Another emulsion is produced by Superplast, Eurolux, Finnish Tikkurila, and German Dufa. Among the foreign manufacturers, products of the brands Remmers, Fontecoat, Epoxy, and Polish Snezka are also popular. The last specified manufacturer produces VEAK 1180 with lower consumption per square meter than the rest.
Work technology
The material must be brought to room temperature, if necessary, thaw. Next, the mass is mixed until homogeneous, with increased density, diluted with water to standard viscosity. Thick paint is uneven, liquid leaves unpainted streaks, so proper dilution is a very important stage. It is forbidden to introduce solvents - this will immediately ruin the composition. The surface is pre-cleaned, primed.
to contents ↑Tinting
If white dyeing is necessary, material without tinting is used. Usually white paint is in demand on the ceilings. Otherwise, tinting is applied according to the selected shade. There is a list of colors of certain brands that are best combined with this water-based emulsion enamel. It:
- Dufa D230 ″;
- Tinting Dulux (England);
- Russian tinting "Unicolor", Dali, Palizh.
The cost of tinting pastes is 20-100 rubles, domestic ones are usually cheaper. A lot of color is not necessary to add, as this affects the adhesion and other qualities of the base material. Inorganic pigments are considered the most resistant to the action of light, but the variety of their shades is small. Organic colorants are brighter, but burn out faster. Therefore, the first type of tint is usually used on the facades, the second - indoors.
to contents ↑Dyeing
Painting is carried out using a spray gun, roller, brush. Work with a brush slowly, but in places with difficult access it is indispensable. The spray gun will apply the material evenly, without excess and smudges. Without unnecessary costs, you can work with a roller. The first applied layer should dry for at least an hour before creating the second layer (if necessary). The temperature indoors or outdoors is not lower than +20 degrees.
to contents ↑Instruments
As already noted, a brush, roller or paint sprayer will be required to operate. If you decide to paint with a brush, choose rectangular shapes with not too thick bristles. The roller should have a soft long pile, foam rubber will not work - it gives bubbles. It is better to buy a spray gun if the area of the room is large, since this device will allow you to paint up to 150 squares of the area per hour.
The choice of quality paint
In one construction store you can see several types of VEAK 1180 from different manufacturers. Some brands are more expensive, others are cheaper. Price will not always be a determining indicator for a purchase. Sometimes inexpensive domestic ones serve no worse than imported ones, the price of which is made up of duties and expensive transportation. To purchase a quality product, it is important to clarify whether there is a certificate of conformity indicating:
- material assignment;
- GOST parameters;
- passed checks.
The expiration date must be necessarily in order - water-based paints lose their properties, exfoliate if the storage period is exceeded. The packaging must not be damaged, wrinkled. The rest can be guided by the opinion of professionals, store consultants or users online.
