Technology of working with paint VEAK-1180

Tinting the composition

The standard paint color is snow white. However, using color, you can achieve any desired shade. The following pigments are suitable for paint (approximate price is indicated for 100 ml):

• Parade, Russia - 23 rubles;
• Dali, Russia - 25 rubles;
• Tex tinting paste, Russia - 35 rubles;
• Palizh, Russia - 40 rubles;
• Unicolor, Russia - 45 rubles;
• Dufa D 230, Germany - 50 rubles;
• Dulax, UK - 90 rubles;

Here we must remember that a large amount of color impairs the technical properties of water-based paint. Organic dyes have bright colors, but fade quickly. Inorganic colorants, on the contrary, are lightfast, but pale, with a limited palette.

Staining order

The consumption of water emulsion depends on how well the surface is prepared. The walls and ceiling should be cleaned, puttyed and primed. To do this, use a deep penetration acrylic primer.

Certification, decoding and GOST

Compliance of paintwork materials with GOST is a guarantee of its quality. The requirements and characteristics of VEAK 1180 paint are specified in GOST 28196-89. The name indicates that the composition is classified as water-based (WE), acrylic-containing (AK). The unit indicates that the composition is used for external painting, 180 is the serial number of the material in GOST.

Obtaining a certificate of conformity strengthens consumer confidence, as it confirms the quality of the product. The document must indicate:

• compliance with GOST;
• manufacturer, legal and actual address of the manufacturer;
• checks passed;
• seals and signatures.

If VEAK 1180 paint has several certificates, it is necessary to study them all and analyze the differences.

Important! Products with the TU mark can also be of high quality, but deviation from the state standard negatively affects the quality of the paint.

Technical characteristics of "VEAK 1180"

This acrylic-based emulsion is produced according to GOST specifically for work on brick and concrete surfaces and metal. Concrete and brick can be plastered or not, but metal must be primed. The standard paint color is white, but with the help of color you can achieve any shade.

Material consumption per 1 sq. a meter is a little - 150 grams. Typically, water-based paint is applied in several layers. An hour after one layer has dried, you can apply a second one.

Other technical characteristics are presented in the table:

If the paint was stored in a room with sub-zero temperatures in winter, it could freeze. After defrosting, all properties of the water emulsion “VEAK 1180” are preserved. If the consistency is thick, you can dilute it with cold, clean water.

The coating "VEAK 1180" has a long service life, which is up to 6 years. Painting with this material is very convenient and simple; the layer lays down neatly, without the formation of smudges or bubbles.

Since the paint has sufficient adhesion and viscosity, no transitions are visible on the coating. If one part of the wall is decorated, and the second is processed later, the joint between the layers will not be visible, it will be equal to the base layer.

The default paint is white, but this should not stop those who want to decorate the interior in a different shade. A colorer can turn a snow-white water-based emulsion into the desired color.

How to paint with this composition correctly

To obtain a uniform paint layer with the stated parameters, it is necessary to follow the technique of surface preparation and application of paintwork materials. Despite the simplicity of working with VEAK 1180, compliance with the technology is mandatory to achieve an effective result. The surface is pre-cleaned, puttied and primed.

Tool

Suitable for coloring:

• medium-sized rectangular brushes - they have an optimal absorption rate;
• rollers with long soft pile;
• The spray gun will reduce consumption and work time.

The best option would be to use several tools, for example, a roller for the main surface, a brush for processing corners.

Paint tinting

To obtain the required paint color, a pigment is selected. Inorganic dyes are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, but their color range is limited. There are more shades available among organic colorants, but they lose color faster in the sun.

For tinting you need to pour 100 ml. paint and add pigment drop by drop. Having received the desired color, you should calculate the required amount of dye for the entire volume of paintwork.

Application order

It is better to use the prepared composition immediately, since the shelf life of paints and varnishes is 1 year at a temperature not lower than +5°C.

If storage conditions are not maintained, quality parameters will deteriorate. Painting is carried out at a temperature of +20°C. This indicator is considered optimal. Paint is applied in 2-3 passes. The first layer dries for 1 hour. It is recommended to apply subsequent coatings after this time.

Conformity Certification

One of the important indicators of the quality of paint and varnish products is the certificate of conformity. When choosing VEAC 1180 paint, it is recommended that you carefully read this document. It is very important that the paintwork material complies with GOST 19214-80. Also, the certificate must indicate the plant, its legal and actual address.

The certification documents also indicate the results of the tests performed and what tests were carried out, for what types of surfaces the composition is intended. For paint 1180, the certificate must be genuine, have a specialist’s signature and seal.

VEAC 1180 is a universal material, the best among most water-based paints and varnishes. The composition is suitable for a wide variety of jobs, including outdoor ones.
