TYPES OF PAINTSMost paints come with a base option of oil or latex. Your decision willbe based on several factors such as what surface you will be painting

and what room you will be applying the paint to.

OIL PAINT

* Better Abrasion resistance

* Higher gloss* More durable then latex* Smoother application than latex* Seals stains well

* Harder to clean up after using oil based paint

LATEX PAINT

* More popular because It's easier to clean up, less odor, and

overall easier to manage* Water Based* Fast drying* Easy to apply

* Resists yellowing, fading and mildew

* Good for metal surfaces* Best bet for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms

EMULSION WATER-BASED PAINTSAn emulsion type water paint must have a high solid concentration and

a small particle size which can be prepared at a high efficiency byusing a relatively compact apparatus and relatively small amounts of a

solvent and water.

Interior & exterior emulsion water-based paints are appreciated for

being weather resistant, washable, u v resistant and excellentdecorative coatings applied on the exterior of the buildings. These are

available in interior grade also in different color shades.

Features include:-

*Water proof.

*Washable anti graffiti type.*U V resistance.

*Weather resistant.*Aesthetic Coating.

Exterior emulsion is specially formulated coating for protection of

exteriors from polluted climate & rough weather conditions. It is a

100% Acrylic Resin with selected grades of additives, pigments andchemicals that ensure best possible protection. This exterior emulsion

does not pick dust or fades & peels off thus preventing the structurefrom fungus / algae growth. The paint contains micronized pigments

and extenders.

A process for the continuous production of an emulsion type waterpaint, which comprises feeding an organic solvent solution comprising

a carboxyl group-containing acrylic resin component, an epoxy resincomponent and a component of a curing agent resin for the epoxy

resin independently or in combination, together with an aqueous

solution of ammonia or an amine, to an in-line mixer of the first stage,mixing the solution under compression in the mixer to form a w/o typeemulsion, feeding the w/o type emulsion together with water to an in-

line mixer of the second stage, mixing the w/o type emulsion andwater in the mixer to effect the phase inversion to an o/w emulsion,

and withdrawing the formed o/w type emulsion quantitatively.

An emulsion type water paint, which comprises a carboxyl group-

containing acrylic resin component, an epoxy resin component and aresol type phenolic resin component as coating film-forming

components, wherein the carboxyl group of the acrylic resincomponent is present in the form of an ammonium salt or amine salt,

the coating film-forming components are present in the form of o/wtype emulsion particles, and at least 30 mole % of the total methylol

groups of the resol type phenolic resin component are alkyl-etherified.

In this production method, it is preferred that the etherified product ofthe resol type phenolic resin component be a butyl-etherified product,

and especially good results can be obtained if the resol type phenolic

resin comprises 10 to 98% by weight, particularly 20 to 95% byweight, of a mono-nuclear or bi-nuclear low-molecular-weight product.

Acrylic Emulsions for Water Based Paints are specifically used for

interior and exterior decorations of walls. These emulsions areprovided in three ranges VAM, Styrene and Acrylic. It adds smooth

finish and thus are excellent water repellant. These emulsions holdbetter color retention capability and can be washed. Moreover they

give excellent performance in dry or humid climate.

A vast range of Acrylic Emulsion Paints are used in different places likeindustrial, commercial and residential. The acrylic paints are

formulated using various opacity pigments & lab-tested stabilizingchemicals. These impart a beautiful & hygienic cover to the interiors.

These are specifically formulated to fulfill varied demands of interiorwalls. Acrylic Emulsion Paint is highly acknowledged for its durability

and it adheres to all type of wall surfaces and gives a matt finishproperty.

GLOSS PAINTSThe term `ENAMEL is normally associated with paintsthat have somegloss to the finish. Enamels are formulated with higher concentrations

of resins as they are intended to be subjected to more wear and tear.

LEVELS OF GLOSS

The sheen of a paint is the amount of light reflected by the surface ofa paint finish. There are 4 basic sheens- Flat, Satin, Semi gloss and

Gloss.


4/5

FLAT

They exhibit non-reflective properties providing a matte finish. This

finish helps hide surface imperfections and is normally used for ceilingsand walls in areas not subjected to a lot of wear and tear-dinning

rooms and bedrooms not used by small children.

SATIN

It is also known as eggshell finish, provides a soft luster sheen similar

to that of an eggshell. A satin finish provides a harder surface finishwhich is more durable and more stain resistant than a flat finish. This

durability makes satin paint a good choice for walls in childrensrooms, hallways, stairways and family rooms.

SEMI GLOSS

They are very durable, they are easier to clean, and more stain

resistant than satin finish paints. Semi gloss paints are most oftenused on heavy wear surfaces or areas that are frequently cleaned such

as kitchens and bathrooms. Semi gloss paint is also used on wood trimand cabinets.

GLOSS

It is harder, more durable, more stain resistant paint finish. It is easierto clean than all the other paint finishes. Gloss finishes generally make

surface imperfections more noticeable. Gloss finishes are the bestchoice for heavy wear areas like kitchen, bathrooms, furniture,

cabinets, floors, stairs, handrails, high traffic doors and trim.

The different range of enamel are utilized in coating various kind ofmetals, wooden products in order to ensure high level of durability.TEXCOTE PAINTS

Tex-Cote has properties that make it 10 times thicker than normalhouse paint. It protects a multitude of surfaces, including wood,

stucco, brick, hard-plank and metal siding. Tex-Cote claims to last for40 years and has a lifetime warranty. The paint has a guarantee not to

chip, flake, peel, fade or chalk, and resists fire and mildew.


5/5

Tex-Cote protects against all of these and therefore will add value tothe house. In addition, as of January 2011, Tex-Cote claims an added

value of 21.9 percent in energy savings toward cooling costs.

Textured or smooth elastomerics may be applied to masonrysubstrates, smooth and split-face concrete block, poured-in-place,

precast, tilt wall - or stucco. These surfaces are cracked or inevitablyare going to crack. Texcoating textured or smooth elastomericcoatings have the necessary property of ionization that allows them tobridge cracks and stretch up to 600% of their original size. Thermal

change can have a tremendous impact on the movement of a

structure. What looks like ahairline crack during elevatedtemperatures can open to three

or four times in width when

cooled. Quality elastomericcoatings also have the memory

which allows them to return totheir original size during thermal

movement, crack shrinkage or when ground settlement occurs.Textured or smooth elastomeric wall coatings can form the bridge that

keeps moisture out.

Basic painting, according to

painting contractors and Realtors,

adds value by protecting surfacesagainst UV rays, mildew and waterdamage.
