Let's talk, what is this enamel
We probably had to paint any metal elements at least once in a lifetime. The fact is that metal is everywhere, it is sufficiently durable, but under certain conditions it can collapse quite quickly. One of the ways to protect the metal from the negative effects of the environment is its painting. For this case, this type of paint is very suitable.
It is a chemical substance that consists of three main components: alcohol, acid and vegetable oil. If to speak in chemical language, it turns out: glycerin, phthalic anhydride and vegetable oil.
It is important to know that the evaporation of this enamel does not get in large quantities into the environment and does not harm living creatures, because after drying such a paint does not form a connection with other elements of the chemical table.
Let's consider all pros and cons
Enamel creates a person, so they have both minuses and pluses. One of the most popular is alkyd enamel pf-115.This paint is quite versatile. Actually, to explain its popularity, let's go over its
plus to .The first - and perhaps the most important - universality. Along with the metal surfaces, this enamel can safely be covered with concrete structures, cement surfaces and gypsum structures. The second plus is the number of colors. This paint can be purchased in one of twenty colors, which allows you to choose the shade that fits perfectly into the interior.
The third plus is the scope of application. The fact is that the coating of this species looks equally well both indoors and out. It just perfectly resists atmospheric phenomena. Also, the pluses include the formation of a glossy surface after painting. Do not forget about the expense, which is rather small, which saves you money.
Now let's walk through to the negative features of , which has alkyd-urethane enamel. These include the undesirability of applying this enamel to floor coverings. It is fairly easy to erase under constant mechanical influences, which is also not very good. This enamel needs to be diluted, which for some people is almost impossible, as they are just too lazy to read the instructions, as a result of which their painting goes to "no."Here, perhaps, and all the negative features.
Special features of working with alkyd enamel
Before applying the enamel, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory works .All of them are not complicated, but they require free time. To begin with, the surface should be washed with a damp cloth. All the projecting parts must be cut off or, in extreme cases, smoothened.
& gt; If you decide to apply enamel to radiators, they need to be cleaned of rust and previous paints. Enamel alkyd for radiators ideally falls on the ground surface. After the final rust removal, sweep everything and rinse with a damp cloth. Grease spots should be treated with alcohol.
Now it's time to the painting. Alkyd enamel matte like quick application. To do this, after dilution in strict accordance with the instruction, pour it into the basin, take the platen and start applying to the surface. Apply enamel from top to bottom. Sutures and other irregularities are best painted with a brush.
After treating the entire room or surface for the first time, wait until it dries out, usually in 24 hours. After that, take up the second layer. This is done in the same way as in the first case. That's all, your surface is protected, and your personal funds are saved, because all this you have done yourself.
