Silver paint: varieties and scope
Currently, silverfish is a particularly popular consumer - a special solution with aluminum, which has many positive qualities. The scope of application of this solution is quite wide. Due to the excellent technical characteristics, silverfish is widely used for domestic needs and in production.
Composition
Composition with aluminum got its name, thanks to the silver color. The main part of silverfish is small aluminum powder. To prepare the solution, it is enough to dilute the powder with a special bitumen lacquer and solvent to obtain the desired consistency.
Types of silverfish
By the type of the main component of aluminum in the composition of the solution, paint-silverfish is divided into two different types. The first type of this solution is made from aluminum powder in the form of large particles, in the second method small particles are used.
In modern stores, aluminum paint is put up for sale in a ready-to-use form, its release form is different. A distinctive feature of such solutions is varnish.
For objects subjected to constant heating, use a solution with aluminum, which is composed of a heat-resistant solvent. Heat-resistant paint silver is ideal for painting the surface of fireplaces, exhaust pipes in cars, furnace dampers. For self-preparation of the solution thermal paint dry aluminum powder is diluted with a heat-resistant solvent.
Advantages and disadvantages
The presence of aluminum particles in the solution gives the silverfish many positive properties.
- The layer of solution applied to the product does not stratify and does not crack. Serebryanka lies on the base in a uniform layer, after complete drying on the surface forms a durable, reliable coating.
- Composition with aluminum, deposited on a vertical surface, does not leak, if in the manufacturing process all the nuances were observed.
- Serebryanka can be used for processing products from any material to protect against high humidity, corrosion, rot.
- The applied paint is resistant to external influences for a long time and does not lose its qualities.
- The service life of such a coating under the influence of high humidity is about three years.
- Internal surfaces treated with aluminum do not require repair and painting for 15 years.
- The roof and exterior walls covered with a layer of silverfish can be not repaired for about 6-7 years. The surfaces do not lose color, the paint layer does not crack under the influence of temperature.
For the production of the composition with aluminum using environmentally friendly substances. Dry paint preparation composition is non-toxic, it does not contain harmful substances. For painting surfaces indoors, the dry compound can be diluted with a non-toxic solvent. For example, acrylic, water-dispersion.
The surfaces, treated with silver, get a pleasant gray color for the eyes. When preparing a solution for painting the surface, you can add color to the paint of any shade. At the same time, the surface will acquire an unusual color without losing its technical characteristics.Will like users and the characteristic metallic shade of color paint.
Negative properties of silverfish should also be noted. Aluminum paint is strictly prohibited to apply on painted surfaces.
Before painting the surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for painting. Otherwise, in a short period of time, the applied layer of paint will swell up, then crack. Dry aluminum powder tends to explode.
How to prepare a solution?
To prepare a solution of silverfish from a special dry mixture at home does not take much time: this process is quite simple. A convenient clean container is needed, in which dry aluminum powder is carefully poured in and a special solvent is poured. All this is thoroughly mixed to obtain the desired uniform consistency.
If, after painting all surfaces, the finished solution remains, it is necessary to use a container with a tight lid for storage. Sometimes you can use synthetic linseed oil to make silver. Special solvents can be used to obtain the desired consistency.
Application features
For applying the finished solution with aluminum on the prepared surface, you can use traditional tools (for example, various brushes, rollers of different sizes, an atomizer). It must be remembered that this solution dries quickly. therefore do not delay the process of applying the finished composition on the prepared surface. Before starting the process, it is necessary to carefully prepare the base for painting. The surface is cleaned of old paint, evened and degreased thoroughly.
It is better to degrease the prepared surface with the help of a solvent that dilutes aluminum paint.
How to wash off pollution?
Using traditional methods to launder silverfish from the treated surface is quite difficult and expensive. To achieve a good result, the best option would be to use a solvent with which the solution itself was prepared. As a popular way you can use vegetable oil. It is applied to the contaminated place, wait a few minutes, then rub off the solution drops with a soft cloth.Good cleans contaminated places from silverfish ordinary nail polish remover.
Specifications
There are several qualities inherent in such solutions.
- These compounds protect the treated surface from external influences.
- The surface, treated with silver, reflects the sun's rays. Due to this property of the building is protected from overheating in the heat.
- Metal surfaces coated with aluminum are protected from rust.
- Varnishes and solvents used to prepare silverfish give the solution additional properties that improve performance.
Scope of application
Paint with aluminum is quite versatile. It can be used to process surfaces from any material. In most cases, the composition is used to treat metal surfaces against corrosion. For example, it is used to cover structures, pipes, power lines from various metals. Serebryanka widely used in the automotive industry for the processing of various parts.
Composition with aluminum is ideal for the treatment of metal roofing or galvanized. It is used for processing walls and roofing, metal hangars from overheating of premises. In addition, silverfish is used to protect metal structures that are constantly under the influence of high humidity. Often it covers the surface of plastic, concrete and wood.
Aluminum paint is popular among consumers due to the large number of advantages. It is made by modern technology, so it does not fold. In addition to all the positive technical characteristics can be noted the low cost of such compositions. The treated silver surfaces will for a long time please with a rich color, no additional financial costs for repairs will be required.
To process the necessary surface easily. Everyone can do it, because if you want, you can buy paint in cans. This composition can be not only silver: manufacturers produce varieties of gold color, which perfectly fall on all types of surfaces.
