TOPIC: CHARACTERISTICS OF OIL BASED PAINT AND LATEX PAINT.


1. OIL-BASED PAINTS (ALKYDS).

Top-quality oil-based paints have excellent adhesion characteristics, meaning they get a tight grip on the surface being painted.

Good adhesion is essential for a durable paint job. However, oil-based coatings tend to oxidize and get brittle over time, which can lead to cracking in exterior applications, and yellowing and chipping in interior applications. Plus, oil-based paints can take up to 24 hours to dry.

However, there are two circumstances when oil-based coatings are the best choice:

* When repainting exterior surfaces with heavy “chalking” (chalk is the powdery substance that comes off on your hand when you run it across the surface).

* When repainting any exterior or interior surface that has four or more layers of old oil-based paint.

2. WATER-BASED PAINTS(LATEX)

Compared to oil-based paints, top-quality latex paints have greater durability, color retention and chalk resistance, so they continue to look good for years. Since they are less brittle and more elastic than oil-based paints, they are also more resistant to cracking.

Latex paints also dry much faster than oil-based paint, which allows for a quicker second coat. Latex paints with 100 percent acrylic binders are especially durable and highly flexible. They tend to adhere extremely well to a variety of surfaces: wood, particularly in areas that experience freezing temperatures; stucco and masonry; and weathered aluminum siding. They’re also highly resistant to mildew and have greater resistance to paint failures such as blistering, flaking and peeling.Industry experts claim that nearly 95 percent of all interior paint sold today is latex.

That’s not surprising considering its faster drying time, lower ratios of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and easy cleanup compared with those of alkyds.
