you are welcome sir.
I will still post pictures of the job at the site.
we are awaiting some finishings on the building before giving final coats.

Hi there.
I need a sealant treatment for a small section of my wall. Where can I find a good quality product?
I have oxidization on my wall from water stains and rising damp.

HELP!

HELP!

I use a waterglass with a reactor two components sealant.
it reduces the porosity of the wall drastically.
The sealant is applied on two coats and allowed to soak in to the wall and the setting agent is applied over it.
The drum is N6000 per drum for the sealant and reactor each.

Thanks! Please send / post your contact info.
Is this applied as a paint undercoat, or applied along with paint?

gbadexy:
I'm a paint and plaster manufacture under the brand name Crown paint and although I operate an humble company, but I bring my knowledge of chemicals to bear and me and my team are always researching and upgrading with trending chemical additives to give you specialised products that can rival any brand both local and international.

I'm going to give brief insight into the various types of paints commonly used and also post pictures of the nairalanders' projects I've been honoured to supply.


Paint is usually the last finishing in buildings and it adds beauty to the house.
However, paint has gone beyond cosmetics to being a protective coating that acts as the first line of protection against weathering of the building.
There are various types of paints used in architectural structures like emulsion, textured emulsion, matte, satin, eggshell, flex (patterned plaster) varnish, marble trowel, graffix, stucco paint, gloss and so on.

I'm going to touch on the common types used.

Emulsion: this is a water based paint that is used for both interior or exterior. It comes in different grades and prices.
The lower grade and lower priced type of emulsion have low amount of binder in it and lower opacifying pigments. They may last indoors but won't last long outside with exposure to rain and ultraviolet rays. This type of paint needs regular recoating.
The high grade is much costly and has higher pigment and binder which makes them last much longer on the wall and cover much more area due to its more opaque quality.
The quantity of paints that would be required by a high grade paint to cover an area would be lower than that of low grade.
So 3 drums of good grade paint would cover what 4 drums of low grade paint would cover and the low grade paint would be re-coated up to 2 times before the good grade paint needs re-painting not including the labour cost.

Textured emulsion: this type of paint is most ideal for exterior painting and is a very durable type of paint because it has a thick film when applied.
This type of paint doesn't cover as much as emulsion due to its thick film property but if a good grade type is used, it doesn't need recoating for upwards of 15 years.

Matte emulsion: this is basically a very high grade regular emulsion with tiny texture on it. Its also durable and ideal for exterior.
This paint looks beautiful but attracts dirt due to its tiny textured surface.
Its advisable to varnish the paint for easy cleaning.

Eggshell: this is one of the most durable paint and some brands call it matte.
It has very good coverage and durability and it has slight sheen.
It can be cleaned and withstands weathering well.

Satin: this is a water based high sheen paint with very good coverage and also cleanable.
The wall has to be smooth and level otherwise it would highlight imperfections on the wall due to its sheen.
It is used interchangeably with silk.
Ideally silk is slightly lower in sheen that satin and has a higher pvc ratio. Its like a slightly lower satin.
This sheen paints withstand more cleaning when based on acrylic binder. Vinyl based binder paint isn't has tough as acrylic based binder. These are written on label as vinyl emulsion or acrylic emulsion.

Flex patterned plaster: this is basically like textured paint without the textures in it.
Its a thick paste and its applied with trowel and patterned with blank rollers with impressions of various types of designs.
It also has thick film on application and is very durable.

Gloss: this is an oil based paint used mostly to protect metals against corrosion.
Its not ideal for walls as it seals the wall and doesn't allow the wall to breathe.

Mineral paint: I'm not sure if this paint is available in nigeria yet but I produce it.
This is a type of paint that make use of inorganic binder much similar to glass dissolved in water.
While regular paint uses organically based petroleum derivative binders, mineral paints use an inorganic waterglass as the binder.
As a result, its fire retardant, resist acid rain attack, resist ultraviolet rays degradation and reacts chemically with the silica (sand) in the building to become part of the building.
It doesn't form film like regular paint and has very good water vapour permeability and as a result, it is also ideal in waterlogged areas. Its porous nature allow water to evaporate thereby leaving the wall dry to prevent fungal/algae growth and blistering and peeling off of paint.
This type of paint is used mostly in germany and some parts of europe and last decades.
However, due to its very high alkaline nature, only earth pigments can be used to colour it.
It comes in various colours but it doesn't have very bright organically based colourants.

I'm going to be posting some pictures of projects I supplied in subsequent posts.
As usual, comments and questions are welcomed.

And the success story continues.

Dominionng:


Nice job OP. That strike me as your "applier" giving you N1,000 per sqm for wall screeding?
We offer N600 per sqm and can go as low as N400 per sqm depending on how voluminous the project is. Quality guarantee! Check out my thread. https://www.nairaland.com/1852018/budget-p.o.p-ceiling-interior-decoration

Can I have your contact details, a client wants to do exterior screeding.

Hello Gbadexy, can you talk a little more about sealants used in painting jobs? What area are this really useful or should be applied on all painted walls? What are the advantages? is it applied after the walls have been painted?

Thanks sir, done

Hello Gbadexy, can you talk a little more about sealants used in painting jobs? What area are this really useful or should be applied on all painted walls? What are the advantages? is it applied after the walls have been painted?

Sealants are meant to seal wall surface so that exterior water doesn't affect the wall and underground water doesn't affect the wall or building.
Good quality paints protect against exterior exposure to water but cannot protect against ground water that causes damp in building, so the wall is sealed with a penetrative sealant that soaks into the concrete or plaster to react the sand and free lime in it from the cement.
This forms an insoluble substance that blocks the pores in the wall and reduce porosity so that the wall becomes denser.
This treatment would naturally make the wall stronger and durable. It would also protect the building from damp in areas prone to damp.
This penetrative sealant is better than surface sealant that is only effective in protecting building from surface water and not from underground water that wicks up through capillary action. Such water would eventually push off such surface treatment that is like nylon sealing the wall.
Besides, such treatment won't allow the wall to breathe.
But using a densifier/ penetrative sealant, water vapor is still allowed to pass but not noticeable water.
The sealant is only effective on unpainted walls.

Thanks a lot. It can be done after screeding then?

No sir. Preferably on concrete or plaster without barrier so that it can soak in and penetrate well.

Hello Gbadexy....pls can those of us in the East beneficiaries? How much will it cost to ge t per drum or per drums to Enugu?

Sure sir. Around N700 per drum would transport it to the east.
