Inorganic Paint Revealed, Is Latex Paint Inorganic?

What is inorganic paint? 

Inorganic paint is a kind of paint with inorganic material as the main film-forming substance, which is the abbreviation of all-inorganic mineral paint, and is widely used in construction, painting and other daily life fields because of its high-quality performance.

What is latex paint? 

Latex paint is a kind of organic paint, which is a kind of water-based paint formulated with synthetic resin emulsion as the base material, adding pigments, fillers and various additives, also known as synthetic resin emulsion paint.

Is emulsion paint an inorganic paint? 

Of course not, through the concept can be well differentiated, inorganic coatings and latex paint, as the most popular materials for decoration, often people get it wrong, thinking that it is the same thing called differently, in fact, the function is completely different. That in addition to the conceptual difference, what is the difference in performance? Let us come together to understand. Latex paint, as the name suggests, the ingredients are emulsion and glue, latex paint both glue and paint, in terms of environmental performance is certainly not as good as the advantages of inorganic coatings, with this sentence to describe the most appropriate: "a synthetic product, a natural product," but the latex paint has its own advantages of the place, the latex paint color is rich, decorative, high. Can highlight a variety of shapes, widely used in the field of construction, favored by many home furnishings.

Inorganic coatings are inorganic minerals, inorganic polymer coatings composed of inorganic polymers and dispersed activated metals, metal oxide nanomaterials, rare earth ultra-micro powders, can react quickly with iron atoms on the surface of steel structure to generate inorganic polymer anticorrosive coatings that have physical and chemical double protection, and are solidly bound to the substrate through chemical bonding. International advanced level, is in line with the environmental requirements of high-tech products. Not only contains the major advantages of latex paint, but also meet the disadvantages of latex paint can not do, as follows:

1, latex paint weathering is poor, used for interior walls more, while the exterior wall of the weathering requirements of high, often inorganic coatings can do weathering, because inorganic paint is a natural material, but also has the characteristics of alkali, which can withstand external environmental changes, so many people will choose to paint the exterior of inorganic coatings;

2, latex paint is easy to mold, not resistant to dirt, low temperature is difficult to construct, the painting environment also has certain requirements, decorative high but low practicality, not durable. And inorganic paint with strong alkali properties, can kill bacteria and moss spores, while water resistance and breathability, can make the wall body inside the rapid evaporation of water, keep the wall dry and clean, does not produce static electricity, so it will not hang the dust, good antifouling properties;

3, latex paint has no fire resistance, the use of latex paint before brushing a layer of fire retardant paint to improve the fire resistance limit of the coated material, and inorganic paint has A1 fire retardant, even at a high temperature of 1200 ° C constant combustion will not start a fire to help combustion, but also will not release harmful gases.

4, latex paint in terms of environmental protection performance is far more advantageous than inorganic coatings, inorganic coatings not only their own 0 formaldehyde, but also decomposition of formaldehyde in the air, the formaldehyde in the home, the formaldehyde in the air. Decomposition of formaldehyde in the air, home improvement is the most appropriate, but also can be done while decorating while living, latex paint is not. In addition, inorganic paint also has a strong alkali, high permeability, high self-cleaning function, can be up to about 50 years without discoloration, not cracking, not yellowing.
