Water-based paint VEAK 1180: GOST, technical characteristics

Water-based paints are considered one of the best and safest for indoor use. The thing is that the solvent for them is water. This characterizes the excellent properties of paints and varnishes. A thin layer is created on the surface that allows air to pass through. Vapor permeability has a beneficial effect on the microclimate of the room.

A striking representative of the materials is water-based paint VEAC 1180. It is a unique and universal material. It can be used to decorate walls, ceilings and facades. The paint is absolutely safe, and a beginner in painting can handle the application. What are the technical characteristics of VEAK 1180? What are its advantages? How much does this or that type of paint cost?

Composition of VEAK 1180

What do these letters VEAK mean? They partially indicate the composition of the material. VE - water-based, AK - acrylic-containing. So this is water-based acrylic paint. Here's what else it includes:

  • 50% of the paint volume is acrylic dispersion;
  • 37% of the total volume is occupied by white pigment. It is obtained by adding fillers (calcite, chalk, talc, mica) and chemicals;
  • To increase the elasticity of VEAC 1180, plasticizers are added to it in an amount of 7%. These are dibutyl phthalate and lignosulfonate;
  • the remaining 6% are additives that improve the final product. These include preservatives, anti-corrosion agents and defoamers.

The thickener is KMF glue or latex in rare cases. Due to such additives, VEAC 1180 paint hides small cracks and surface defects when applied. They do not need to be puttied. Another feature of it is that it can be applied to any wall surface. How is water-based paint VEAC 1180 used? GOST states that the indicator should be 150 ml/m2.

Advice! To reduce material consumption, the wall must be cleaned of dust and debris and primed.

Painting

Walls are painted in three layers: the first is primer, the next two are paint and varnish.

Painting is carried out in stripes overlapping each other at the junction in the manner of writing the letter “W”.

It is better to start work in daylight in the direction from the window in the opposite direction.

How to prepare a wall for painting


The preliminary stage includes plastering the uneven walls, then applying a layer of putty. After the materials have dried, the walls are washed with soapy water and a layer of primer is applied.

Popular Technologies

There are three main technologies for painting walls:

  • brush;
  • roller;
  • spray gun.


Brush painting is an energy-intensive process with less than ideal results. The brush applies the paint unevenly and leaves streaks. However, you cannot do without a brush when processing areas in corners, at the joints with the ceiling, and around window frames. To do this, you need to choose a brush 10-15 cm wide, immerse it in liquid up to a third of the bristles, and use a mesh to get rid of excess on the brush.

Painting with a roller is a quick method that requires care in distributing the paint, first on the roller itself, then on the wall to avoid drips and splashes. To do this, use a special tray with a container for water emulsion and a place for rolling.

The use of a spray gun gives a high-quality layer without streaks, omissions, smudges, or color differences. The device is characterized by a large simultaneous coverage of the wall area, which speeds up the painting process.

How to paint over old paint

It is possible to update the interior without bothering to remove the old coating only if the old paint does not peel off. For a new coating with water-based emulsion, you need to sand the wall, apply a primer layer, and then start painting.

If the old paint is covered with cracks, chips, or peeling places, then for better adhesion of the new coating it must be removed. The water-dispersion coating can be washed off with a special solvent, or mechanically using a spatula, chisel, grinder, hair dryer, etc.

How to apply to different surfaces

You can paint wallpaper, textured plaster, plasterboard structures, and old finishes with oil paint with a water-dispersion emulsion. Each of these cases requires an individual solution.

You can paint wallpaper that is specially marked “for painting”!

Others may behave unpredictably under the coloring composition - get wet, change the degree of smoothness of the surface, peel off from the wall, absorb the paint unevenly, creating streaks.

Plasterboard walls are becoming more popular due to the variety of shapes they can create and their smooth surface.

This simplifies the process of wallpapering, but painting requires a number of manipulations.

Painting of drywall is possible when applied to a layer of finishing putty. The layer of putty here can be minimal, since it is intended not to level, but to create a uniform surface without seams and putty at the joints to obtain a uniform color in just one layer of paint.

You should not apply water-based emulsion to whitewashed surfaces - it is better to wash off the whitewash first. Chalk or lime compounds will begin to crack and peel under the paint, forcing you to repaint the walls once a year.

Cost VEAK 1180

The cost of paint is influenced by several factors: manufacturer, composition, purpose and technical characteristics. On average, in Russia you can buy paint for 50–200 rubles/l. Other prices:

  1. For metal, water-dispersion fire retardant – 160 rub./l. Serves to protect structures from fire.
  2. Fire retardant organosoluble - 200 rubles per 1 liter.
  3. Interior – 45 rub. Used for interior work, resistant to moisture.
  4. Universal – 55 rub. Used for work outside and inside.
  5. Facade paint – 70 rub. Designed for outside work (GOST 28196-89).

As for manufacturers, there are quite a lot of them. In Russia these are Superplast, Admiral and Eurolux. German manufacturers are Dufa, Remmers, Caparol, JOBI. Dulux and Johnstone`s are representatives from the UK. The well-known Finnish company Tikkurilla, the Slovak Helios and the Polish Snezka.

Varieties

VEAC is available in three forms, depending on the application.

  1. Interior water-based paint – for painting indoors.
  2. Facade paint – for work outside buildings, painting exterior parts of houses.
  3. Universal – suitable for any application.

There is enamel for use in rooms with high temperatures and fire hazards. These are fire retardant paints.

The difference in forms is determined by the composition of the paint, which changes by adding additional components to provide the desired qualities. For example, for a façade type there must be more resistant qualities to moisture and weather conditions.

VEAK paint tinting

Since the color of the paint is white, dyes are needed to give it color. It is very important to choose the right not only paint, but also the color for it. The quality of the composition depends on the manufacturer. Below is a list of recommended colors:

  • German Dufa D230;
  • English color from Dulux;
  • domestic companies: Palizh, Unicolor, Dali, Parade.

You shouldn't use too much pigment. This may adversely affect the performance of the composition. Inorganic colors are used for facade work. Their shades are pale, however, they do not fade in the sun. To give a rich shade to the interior, organic-based products are used. Their UV resistance is much worse.

Note! Application of the composition is carried out in different ways.

The slowest one is with a paint brush. The advantage is that it allows you to treat hard-to-reach places. It's faster and more convenient to work with a roller. But it is effective on flat and large surfaces. The ideal option is a spray gun. The paint is applied evenly, quickly and without smudges.

Criteria for choosing water-based paint VEAC 1180

We learned that there are quite a few manufacturers of this type of paint. And hardware stores are filled with a variety of options. Some of them are cheap and unknown, while others are well-known and more expensive. It is clear that this matter is not worth saving. It is better to focus on proven material that has positive reviews and has proven itself well.

The main sign of a quality product is the presence of a certificate of conformity. If the store can provide it, then this is a good sign. What should be inside the certificate of water-based paint VEAC 1180? Such data:

  1. GOST marking.
  2. Address of the plant where the product was manufactured (legal and actual).
  3. List of surfaces for which water-based emulsion is suitable.
  4. The tests that the composition passed.
  5. The certificate is certified by the signature and seal of higher authorities.

Also, when purchasing, pay attention to the packaging itself. It should not be damaged, neither the label nor the can itself. Don't forget to check the expiration date. And remember, the most expensive does not mean that it is the best.

Customer Reviews

It is impossible to judge water-based products solely by technical characteristics and written advantages. It is important to find out what users who have already used it say about VEAC 1180 water-based paint.
