Is latex paint a water paint? What are the disadvantages of latex paint?

When decorating the house, you should choose the right latex paint according to the function of different rooms. For example, basements and bathrooms can be selected for latex paints with better mold resistance; bathrooms and kitchens can be selected for latex paints with good rub resistance and stain resistance. However, many people have the question: Is latex paint a water-based paint ? Here we take a look at what are the disadvantages of latex paint it!

Is latex paint a water-based paint?

1. It is understood that latex paint is divided into two types, the first one is oil paint, the second is water paint. The content of paint contains carcinogenic substances such as toluene, xylene, benzene and heavy metals. At the same time, the homologue of benzene is a medium-risk substance, causing some damage to the hematopoietic function of the human body, thereby triggering leukemia.

2. Is latex paint a water-based paint? In fact, it can only be said that water-based paint is one of the paints. The advantage of water-based paint is that it is very environmentally friendly, and generally only two or three weather conditions are removed. In Europe, the use of water paint has reached more than 90%, and water paint can be seen in food stores and supermarkets. This shows that water-based paint is a material that is used more often in the decoration process.

Second, what are the disadvantages of latex paint?

1. The construction temperature should be above 5°C

Because latex paint is a thermoplastic polymer, in order to maintain the correlation between film hardness and the minimum film formation temperature, and latex paint is the dispersion medium for water, the temperature is generally required to be 5°C during construction. Above, even some have to reach 10°C or more before construction. However, the specific temperature should still be determined by the lowest film-forming temperature of latex paint.

2. Storage temperature

Because latex paint is a water-dispersible paint, the temperature must be controlled above 0°C during transportation, or a series of troubles may occur. In addition, it takes a long time for the latex paint to dry completely, so we generally do not recommend using latex paint for decoration.

Editor's summary: The above has given everyone a glimpse of what latex paint is water-based paint and what the disadvantages of latex paint are. We hope to give you some help.

Multispectral Filter

The multispectral filter is precisely produced by the composite process of photolithography + coating. The deposition mask is produced by the high-precision reproduction photolithography technology, and the high-performance filter film of each spectrum segment is successively plated within the deposition pattern. Multi-spectral filters have high transmittance and excellent filtering characteristics. Multiple filter channels are integrated into a single substrate, and the spatial alignment accuracy is extremely high.
