What is Emulsion Paint?
Content: There are three such types of emulsions: vinyl matt, vinyl satin (used on areas that can be washed or sponged) and vinyl silk emulsion specific to kitchens and bathrooms. There are also special water based types of emulsions created for woodwork which may be easy to apply, but are not as hard-wearing as oil-based paints. Emulsion paints may contain certain substances like fillers, catalysts, stabilizers, emulsifiers, adhesion enhancers, flattens or texturizes which produce different results: thicken the film, support the structure of the emulsion paint or increase its volume. Also, they may contain a lot of additives to produce various properties like: antifreeze, foam control, bacterial growth control and pigment stability. Furthermore, emulsion paint can be applied either as gas (aerosol) or as liquid. Generally, you will apply it by means of brushes, paint rollers and other instruments. Once it is applied, paint can be blended with other painted regions within a certain interval of time (known as "open time").
