Estireno-acrílico, acrílico puro y silicona-acrílico: ¿Cómo elegir la emulsión adecuada para pintura exterior con efecto piedra? ¿Cuáles son las diferencias?
Las diferencias entre los tres tipos de emulsiones Did you know? The durability, environmental friendliness, and lifespan of stone-effect paint all depend on the "emulsion" it contains! What are the differences between the three common emulsions on the market: styrene-acrylic, pure acrylic, and silicone-acrylic? Afraid of choosing a cheap one that won't last, or a expensive one that's a waste of money? Today, we'll explain the differences to help you avoid common mistakes and choose the right high-quality emulsion! Styrene-acrylic emulsion: Cheap but with "obvious shortcomings," choose with caution Styrene-acrylic emulsion Styrene-acrylic emulsion is the cheapest of the three emulsions and was a common raw material for early stone-effect paints, but its disadvantages are very prominent, and it has gradually been phased out of mainstream household applications. Core characteristics: Contains benzene compounds, posing a potential toxicity risk, and has poor environmental performance; Performance: Extremely poor weather resistance and yellowing resistance; easily yellows and fades when exposed to the outdoors for a long time; "whitening" occurs when exposed to water, affecting the appearance; the paint film lacks toughness and is prone to cracking and peeling later, especially in areas with large temperature differences or high humidity; Service Life : Only 3-5 years; while seemingly saving money initially, the subsequent repair and renovation costs are higher; Applicable scenarios: Not recommended for home use! Only suitable for temporary buildings, low-budget commercial projects, and other scenarios with very low requirements for environmental protection and durability. Pure acrylic emulsion: The preferred choice for home use, safe, durable, and cost-effective! Pure acrylic emulsion Pure acrylic emulsion is currently the mainstream choice for household exterior stone-effect paint, balancing environmental friendliness and practicality, offering excellent value for money. Core Features: Non-toxic and harmless, environmentally compliant, and will not cause pollution to the human body or the environment; the paint film has high elasticity, can adapt well to minor deformations of the wall, forming an integral part with the wall structure, and has strong adhesion; Performance: Excellent resistance to acids and alkalis, aging, and frost, able to withstand harsh weather conditions such as wind, sun, rain, and snow, and is not prone to yellowing or chalking; excellent water resistance, and will not turn white when exposed to water; Service Life: Approximately 15 years, requiring no frequent maintenance under normal use, resulting in low long-term maintenance costs; Applicable Scenarios: Most household scenarios in general residential buildings (including self-built houses and exterior wall renovations of commercial buildings). Silicone Acrylic Emulsion: High-end, top-of-the-line performance with an ultra-long lifespan! Silicone acrylic emulsion is based on...
