Probably, the simplest type of repair work can be considered the painting of any surface, because even a person who does not have the appropriate experience in such work, not to mention specialists, can handle it. However, such manipulations involve the need to observe many nuances. This should include the choice of paint.
After purchasing the product, you should familiarize yourself with the method of applying the mixture and its characteristics. Only in this way will it be possible to create a durable coating that will be resistant to negative influences and durability.
General description and purpose of polyurethane enamels
On the building materials market, among other paints, you can find polyurethane enamels that contain a huge amount of additives that provide high adhesion to any surface. Most often they have one component, which attracts users, because before starting work you do not have to mix the ingredients,since the paint is already ready for use. Even when applied to a slightly damp substrate, the mixture will adhere strongly to almost any surface and form an elastic film that will be resistant to a variety of influences.
Polyurethane enamels are highly resistant to acid and alkaline effects, they are not afraid of water and temperature extremes. Due to these characteristics, the paint is actively used for concrete floors in industrial premises, namely:
- warehouses;
- production shops;
- garages.
Among other things, these enamels are used in public areas where the flooring is subjected to increased stress. They may have a specific purpose depending on the composition, so before purchasing, you should familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the mixture.
Description and application of "Elakor-PU Enamel-60"
This mixture is a one-component, colored, moisture-curing glossy enamel that can be applied even at low temperatures. After the completion of the polymerization stage, the surface acquires the quality of wear resistance and the ability to undergo chemical attack. Concrete surfaces such as floors, ceilings, structures and walls can be protected with this mixture.
Such polyurethane enamels are intended for use indoors and under a canopy, while outdoors their use is limited. In the latter case, be surewaterproofing concrete from groundwater is necessary. The surface must be cleaned and primed before use. The rough base can be capillary-porous mineral surfaces, sand-cement screed, mosaic concrete, mosaic tiles, brick, magnesia concrete. This polyurethane enamel is excellent for wood. It can be applied to plywood, wood or parquet.
Main advantages of Elakor-PU Enamel-60
If we consider such polyurethane enamels as the one described above, certain advantages should be highlighted, among them:
- possibility of application at negative temperatures;
- designed to strengthen concrete foundations;
- short dry;
- possibility of exploitation in a day.
Even concrete bases of grade M-100 or less can be hardened. Polyurethane enamel 60 can be applied in several layers, between which it is necessary to wait only about 3-6 hours. This significantly reduces the time of work. After three days, the surface can be subjected to full mechanical load. The described composition is one-component. This indicates a simple technology and inexpensive equipment in the manufacture, which reduces the cost of the material.
Features of application of Elakor-PU Enamel-60
The polyurethane floor enamel described above can be applied to putty substrates, as well as dolomite, marble or quartz. The maximum application temperature is +25°, the temperaturematerial can be equal to the limit from +10 to +25°. Humidity should not be more than 80%, and the surface temperature above the dew point should be 3 degrees higher.
Before application, the enamel is well mixed to a uniform consistency and color. To do this, you can use a paint mixer, which is set at 400-600 rpm. You can use a brush or roller, as well as the airless application method. In the first two cases, the material must be resistant to solvents. Under the condition of applying one layer, it will take approximately 120-170 g/m2, which will depend on the initial smoothness of the rough surface. Two coats of enamel should be applied to form the paint coat.
Features of Polyton-Ur enamel
Polyurethane enamel "Polyton-Ur" is designed to protect concrete, reinforced concrete and metal surfaces from corrosion. Structures can be operated in water, oil products and atmosphere. The composition can be applied all seasons when the temperature is in the range from -15 to + 40 °.
Enamel has high decorative qualities, as well as resistance to oil and water. It is excellent for protecting transport construction sites in the chemical and oil and gas industries, as well as metallurgy.
Additional characteristics of "Polyton-Ur"
Polyurethane enamels of the type described above are used in complex systemscoatings, where they play a protective and decorative role. The compositions are distinguished by high strength and elasticity, resistance to ultraviolet radiation. Can be used in the factory and when painting structures on construction sites. Before use, the enamel does not provide for the need to mix the components, which greatly simplifies the process of preparing the material.
Properties and description of polyurethane enamel PROCOAT AP 259 SC
PROCOAT AP 259 SC acrylic-polyurethane enamel is a two-component composition, which is characterized by high adhesion to aluminum and non-ferrous metals, polycarbonate, stainless and galvanized steel. Such enamel is mainly used as a single-layer self-priming coating. It has active anti-corrosion pigments and also makes the surface resistant to ultraviolet radiation.
Polyurethane two-component primer enamel is highly resistant to mechanical and chemical influences, as well as fading and temperature extremes. This composition is an industrial high-tech alternative to multi-layer systems of finishing enamels and a variety of primers. It is very easy to apply the mixture even on large surfaces, as it has an optimal spreadability and absorption of overflow. The material can be applied in high thicknesses with a minimum number of layers, without sagging, and productivity is increased.
Conclusion
It is noteworthy that polyurethane enamelsare able to create on the surface not only a highly decorative, but also a protective coating that can protect structures and bases from various negative effects such as corrosion, ultraviolet radiation, etc.
