One of the most popular types of paint products can be called enamels, more precisely enamel paints. They are made by grinding dry pigments with oil, glyptal, alkyd and other lacquers. Due to this, this type of paint dries quickly. The fastest drying are nitroemal paints.
Classical enamels, as a rule, are based on a pentaphthalic base. Synthetic pigments are taken with a fine fraction. Thus, enamel paint is an emulsion of an alkyd base and a certain diluent. Turpentine or white spirit can act as a diluent, where toluene (about 10%) is added, providing better spreadability.
Enamel can be used for coloring materials such as:
• metal,
• tree,
• dry plaster.
It turns out a beautiful glossy coating, since the spreadability of this type of paint is comparable to oil. Enamel paint must be thoroughly mixed before use in order to eliminate fractional delamination. The time of complete drying of the enamels is from 4 to 6 hours. The enamel coating requires a varnish finish, as it is not resistant to the effects of any oil-containing agents.
Enamel paint and varnish products are suitable both for creating the main coating and for auxiliary purposes. Turpentine, gasoline solvent or solvent are used to dilute thickened enamel paints. Some types of enamels are supplied to the market in the form of thick pastes, for the dilution of which a special solvent P-4 is used, supplied in the factory kit.
Enamel coloring compounds are widely used in self-repair, as an excellent design and protective coating for wood surfaces. Nitroemals are well suited for painting metal objects, such as pipes. Due to their pungent smell, it is recommended to use them only in rooms with sufficient ventilation.
Before purchasing enamel paint, it is recommended to carefully familiarize yourself with its composition and instructions for use in order to choose the tool that will most fully correspond to the task being solved.
