Facade paint during construction and repair work is a material that you should not save on. Very high demands are placed on the paint and varnish mixtures used for outdoor work: they must not only decorate the walls, but also protect them from moisture and other environmental influences.
Most mineral surfaces are capable of absorbing moisture. This is especially the case with building materials with a porous structure: concrete, ceramics, plaster, which absorb water and hold it in the pores. A high fluid content leads to increased stress and cracking of the base.
However, the main reason for the destruction of the building facades in the Russian climate remains low temperatures. Mineral surfaces in the dry state do not respond to the effects of frost. The moisture that accumulates in their pores during freezing increases in volume, which causes cracking. As a result, this leads to the destruction of the facades.
A negative factor is also considered the effect of aggressive chemicals that are contained in the atmosphere of large cities. Oxides of phosphorus, sulfur and nitrogen, which are part of the precipitation, have a destructive effect on the facades of buildings.
Wet walls during the warmer months become an ideal environment for the spread of mold, lichens, mosses and fungi. In most cases, they penetrate the pores of the building material.
High-quality facade paints can cope with the effects of rainfall and aggressive environmental conditions. They not only protect the surface of the walls, but also give the building a well-groomed and beautiful appearance.
Properties and scope of facade paints
Facade paint "Marshal" is produced using a dispersion of styrene-acrylic copolymer, which acts as a binder. The copolymer makes the coating resistant to moisture, dirt and precipitation. Marshall paint also includes algaecides and fungicides, which protect the surface of the walls from mold and mildew.
Paint and varnish material is characterized by a high level of adhesion and fits perfectly on any mineral substrates: plaster, brick, concrete and others. Aqueous emulsion ink “Marshal” is used for decorating the exterior walls of buildings, for painting vestibules, balconies, garages and loggias.
Excellent operational characteristics allow the use of facade paint "Marshal" for the restoration of historical buildings.
Surface preparation for paint application
Old coatings are carefully removed from the surface of the facade. Areas damaged by fungus or mold are removed, then the base is covered with antifungal compounds.
With the help of putty, chips, cracks and other defects of the facade are eliminated. Since Marshal paint belongs to the category of water-dispersion paints and varnishes, water-based putty is selected for repairs.
If the facade surface is porous, then a deep penetration primer is applied to it.
Paint recommendations
Finishing work is carried out at ambient temperatures ranging from +5 ° C to +25 ° C, while the relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
The surface of the facade of the building is covered with a primer, which can be Marshal paint, diluted with clean water in a ratio of 10: 1. The top coat is applied with undiluted paint.
Paint and varnish material can be applied with a roller, brush or spray in two layers. If a spray gun is to be used, the paint is diluted with water in a ratio of 10: 1. This proportion is suitable for most equipment models.
Each layer is applied at intervals of one hour. The coating completely dries in warm and dry weather after 4 hours.
Paint consumption is 1 liter per 8-10 square meters.
Features of the application of paint
Marshal paint before use is thoroughly mixed and diluted in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer, if required. The surface of the base is prepared for applying the composition. Apply the paint in two layers at an ambient temperature of not more than +30 ° C and not less than +5 ° C. Humidity should not exceed 80%. Porous and loosely bonded building materials are coated with a deep penetration primer in order to strengthen the substrate and increase the level of adhesion.
Advantages of Marshall Paint
Paints and varnishes of the Marshal trademark possess the following advantages:
- Create an elastic decorative coating.
- “Marshal” paint gives the facade a relief original appearance.
- It hides minor defects and surface irregularities.
- Resistant to atmospheric precipitation, moisture and dirt.
- They have a high level of adhesion to the base.
- Dry quickly.
- Service life - more than 10 years.
Reviews about the paint "Marshal"
To paint the facades of buildings, one of the most popular paints and varnishes is often used - Marshal paint. Customer reviews of it are confirmed by the manufacturer's operational characteristics: a high level of adhesion, the creation of an attractive surface, resistance to atmospheric precipitation, low temperature and biological factors. Consumption of the composition is fully consistent with that indicated on the package, however, it must be applied in two layers. Facade paints and varnishes can be used as paint for the ceiling. Marshall creates a perfectly even coating that hides minor defects of the base due to its deep-mat structure. Using paint and primer from the same company allows you to create a coating whose service life is at least ten years.
You can tint the paintwork in more than 2 thousand shades according to the NCS and RAL palettes. The paint is sold in a convenient plastic container, the design of which allows you to pour the required amount of composition.
The material has no odor, is easily applied in two or more layers, does not flow and does not spray. Creates a deep-mat surface, protects the facade from the effects of aggressive environmental factors and gives it an attractive appearance.
