Today it is possible to choose such paints that not only do not fade in the sun, but are harmless to health, among them acrylic and silicone compounds. In addition, silicone paints are not afraid of the effects of acids and alkalis.
Previously, the choice of colors was not as great as today. External and internal dyeing works were carried out with the same paints. Today, the range of paints is diverse, and you can choose those that are resistant to external aggressive influences, such as ultraviolet light.
Acrylic Compounds
Acrylic paint began its victorious procession more than half a century ago. These compounds are characterized by the positive properties of all types of paints. The paint does not fade and does not fade in the sun, but this is only part of the positive characteristics. Among other things, this paint dries quickly, it can be used on many surfaces, and it is extremely convenient to work with it.
In the composition of acrylic paint pigment, water and a binder, in the role of the latter can be used copolymers or acrylates. The latter binders are less commonly used, since compositions made on their basis are very expensive. You can apply acrylic paint on concrete, plaster, metal and other surfaces. If you have to apply an acrylic composition to the plaster, then you should start work no earlier than a month after applying the leveling layer to the surface.
Acrylic paints instead of solvent have water in their composition, which makes them environmentally friendly. Such compounds are almost odorless, they do not emit carcinogens. Since acrylic paint has the ability to dry quickly, this allows you to paint the surface in several steps, making short breaks between layers.
Silicone compounds
Silicone paints are another type of composition that does not fade in the sun. In addition, such materials have advantages over other paints, including those described above. Silicone paints are distinguished by the ability to breathe.
After applying silicone paint, thanks to the resins, a plastic porous coating forms on the surface. The wall is protected from rain, snow and pollution. Microorganisms do not form on such a surface. Walls coated with a silicone compound freely remove moisture. Silicone paints are also chosen for their versatility, it is permissible to apply them on a surface that is covered with another type of paint.
