Rubber paint for wood: features and properties of the composition

Tree (versatile and widely used building material) need of reliable and long-term protection. Conventional coatings, which are mainly used for these purposes, prone to cracking and flaking over time. Relatively recently appeared on the construction market of rubber paint for wood thanks to its unique composition devoid of these shortcomings. High consumer and technical indicators contribute to its growing popularity, especially in individual housing.

Composition

The Term "paint rubber base for the tree" is not quite correct in relation to this protective coating. Rather, it defines the properties and performance of the product. In fact, the latter consists of:

• Acrylic – the basic synthetic polymer binder, forming a protective film on the treated surface;
• Latex, which is produced by chemical synthetic rubber (he gives the coating elastic properties);
• Coalescent (for better film formation);
• Pigments that give the composition a specific color;
• Water as a solvent;
• Antifreeze, significantly increases the frost resistance of cover;
• Special additives and fillers that increase the resistance of the composition to aggressive media (salts, alkalis and the like);
• Antiseptic components that prevent the formation of mold and mildew.

Although virtually all the ingredients (except water) produced by various chemical reactions, the final composition is environmentally friendly, safe for humans and the environment and complies with all necessary rules and regulations.

Key features

Rubber paint for wood are characterized by:

• Water-resistant;
• High resistance to daily and seasonal temperature variations;
• Good adhesion to all construction materials made of wood (timber, plywood, Board, fiberboard, particleboard and so on);
• Durability (guaranteed service life while maintaining the protective properties of the coating up to 10 years or more);
• High elasticity;
• Good permeability (that has a positive effect on the “breathable” properties of wooden structures);
• High mechanical strength and resistance to abrasion (especially rubber paint for floor on wood);
• Elevated anti-slip properties (which significantly increases safety when using the stairs for example);
• Resistance to negative effects of ultraviolet radiation (the coating doesn't change color for a very long time);
• Is quite economical fuel consumption when high-density layer (although this figure is higher than that of conventional counterparts);
• Simplicity of application;
• High-speed drying;
• Engravable on cracked surface (without putty);
• Odourless;
• Simplicity of further care of with any household detergents.

Disadvantages

It is Unlikely you will be able to find on the modern market of high-tech and innovative construction materials at least one product which has no cons. And rubber paint they are, although they are quite a bit:

• The surface is matte (glossy luster will not be able to because of components included in the composition);
• The price for such coverage is higher in comparison to a standard (alkyd, acrylic or oil).

Scope

Rubber paint on wood for outdoor use has been successfully used in the regeneration of the protective coating

• Exterior facades and the technology of building elements (columns, beams, props and so on) structures for various purposes (residential country house to the garage or barn);
• Fences and railings;
• Wooden floors (on terraces, gazebos and balconies);
• Elements of the stairs (treads, banister, balusters, and load-bearing structures);
• Decks and platforms designed for ease of artificial and natural water bodies;

• Playgrounds and sandboxes;
• Buildings and elements of boats, boats and yachts.

Surface Preparation

Of Course, the optimal solution of the arrangement of the protective layer – the application of rubber paint for wood on the street in new or recently constructed buildings and structures. The pores of the construction material has not yet clogged with dust, dirt or other foreign inclusions. Longevity will only benefit from this.

The Old surface, the planned treatment, you must first thoroughly clean with a spatula or scraper, and then – with a wire brush or a special attachment for electric drill.

Method of application

Almost all manufacturers of rubber paint on wood for outdoor use is recommended the following conditions of the work, the observance of which will ensure the preservation of the protective properties of the coating during the warranty period:

• Ambientair should be between +5° to 30°C (time, layer and final drying, indicated on the packaging usually +20°C).
• Humidity – not to exceed 80%.

For applying you can use any painting tools: brushes, rollers, spray guns and other mechanical sprayers.

Before using the paint must be thoroughly mixed. If you use quite large amounts, this procedure should be repeated periodically.

As the rubber paint for wood are usually applied in 2-3 layers, it is necessary to strictly comply with the time spacing recommended by the manufacturer.

Main producers

Russian manufacturers of various paint products have appreciated the benefits of the new protective coating and quickly mastered the development and production of such products. The most widely in the construction market presents rubber paint for wood from Super Decor, Good Master, "Multicolor", Rezolux, Dali, LMB "USSR", "Tekhnoprok".

Of Course, each brand uses their own individual “recipe” of the production and technological features of production. However, we strictly adhere to all requirements, ensuring the safety of people and the environment.

Types and prices

Colors on sale now compositions, sufficient various. Some manufacturers number of shades of the finished products reaches 20. From those who deliver products in basic white or light grey color, you can either order a specific shade from a catalogue, or buy separately tinting pigments and to engage an independent "design work". It all depends on personal preference and time, which sometimes is so lacking to conduct aesthetic experiments.

The purpose of such coatings can be divided into three main groups:

• Versatile (for application on wall and other wooden constructions of various buildings);
• Increased durability (wooden floors and decks);
• Highly specialized (for wooden vehicles in the water).

The Price of such products depends on the scope, composition and manufacturer. So, the Bank (3 kg) universal paint VD-AK-103 (the base color) from "Tekhnoprok" will cost 600-700 rubles. Approx same price goods from Dali. Here, for example, the same number of ready-made color products (same purpose) from Super Decor (flow rate of 120-250 ml/m², time full cure – week, a technological break between the layers – 1.5-3 hours) will cost 850-950 rubles. And for its production are used only imported components (at the request of the manufacturer).

Products from Remmers German, Spanish Lepanto or canadian Liquid Rubber will be much more expensive.

For wooden boats, speed boats and yachts

A Separate category of paint is designed to protect the hulls of wooden boats and yachts from both fresh and salt water. The composition of these products add special components for:

• Protection against aggressive influence of salt water;
• Prevent fouling of the bottom algae and microorganisms, which significantly reduces speed and increases fuel consumption;
• To increase adhesion when operating in conditions of high vibration.

Due To increased operational requirements, the price of such products is higher than the counterparts for General construction applications. Manufacturers engaged in production of such highly specialized products: Star Maling Norwegian, Russian "Multicolor" and "LKM Soviet Union" and the American Overton’s and Totalboat.

In conclusion

Modern rubber wood paints, user reviews who have used this product in practice, mostly only positive, fully correspond to the declared characteristics. The essential conditions that must be followed:

• If you select – to consider the appointment of a specific product (for example, for vertical surfaces, for floors or boats);
• When using – strictly comply with all recommendations of the manufacturer indicated on the package.
