Fluorocarbon paint is a new type of material, with water-based fluorocarbon resin as the main component, and is an environmentally friendly fluorocarbon latex paint. There are some differences between water-based fluorocarbon paint and oil-based fluorocarbon paint. This article will introduce the differences between water-based fluorocarbon paint and oil-based fluorocarbon paint.
Water-based fluorocarbon paint is a high-performance coating whose main components are fluoro resin, pigments, additives, and water. It uses water as solvent or dispersion medium, is green and environmentally friendly, and has a low VOC (volatile organic compound) content.
Excellent environmental performance
Water is used as a solvent to reduce the emission of harmful substances to the environment and the human body. There is almost no odor during construction and drying, which is suitable for use in places with high air requirements.
Excellent weather resistance
It has excellent UV resistance and aging resistance, can maintain the original color for a long time, and is not easy to fade. In addition, they also have excellent acid and alkali resistance and salt spray resistance.
Excellent mechanical properties
It has good adhesion and wear resistance, and can effectively protect the substrate from damage by external factors. Its paint film has good flexibility and can resist slight deformation and cracking of the substrate.
Easy construction
This water-based paint is safe to apply and easy to operate. It can be directly diluted with water without the use of organic solvents.
Chemical resistance
Water-based fluorocarbon paint has good resistance to a variety of chemicals. For example, corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts.
Architectural decoration
For example, the interior and exterior walls, doors and windows, guardrails, etc. of buildings need to remain beautiful and durable for a long time.
Industrial protection
They are often used in industrial facilities that require long-term corrosion protection, such as bridges, steel structures, storage tanks, pipelines, etc.
Transportation
It is also commonly used for painting vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes, playing a good protective and decorative role.
Home decoration
It is also used for painting furniture, cabinets, doors windows, etc. It not only has a good decorative effect but also ensures environmental protection and safety.
Surface treatment
The substrate surface must be clean, dry, and free of oil and rust, and the old paint film should be properly polished.
Temperature and humidity control
The construction environment temperature should be between 5-35℃ and the relative humidity should not exceed 85% to ensure the quality of paint film formation.
Painting methods
They can be applied by brush, roller, spray, etc. You can choose the appropriate painting method according to the actual situation of the project.
Multi-coat painting
Water-based fluorocarbon paints usually require multi-coat application with sufficient drying time between each coat to ensure the thickness and performance of the final paint film.
Oil-based fluorocarbon paint is a high-performance paint with organic solvents as the main solvent. Its main components include fluorosis, organic solvents, pigments, and additives. Compared with water-based fluorocarbon paint, oil-based fluorocarbon paint has higher weather resistance and chemical resistance, but its environmental protection is relatively poor.
Excellent weather resistance
Fluorocarbon resin has excellent UV resistance and can be exposed to sunlight for a long time without fading or powdering. The paint film can also maintain its gloss and color for a long time under harsh climate conditions.
Excellent chemical resistance
They have strong resistance to various chemicals such as acids, alkalis, salts, etc., and are suitable for use in corrosive environments.
Commonly used in chemical equipment, storage tanks, pipelines, and other places that require high chemical resistance protection.
High hardness and wear resistance
The paint film is hard, wear-resistant, and impact-resistant, and can effectively protect the substrate from mechanical damage.
Suitable for surfaces that are often subjected to friction and impact, such as mechanical equipment, vehicles, etc.
Excellent adhesion
Oil-based fluorocarbon paint can firmly adhere to various substrates, including metal, concrete, wood, etc.
Even in harsh environmental conditions, it can maintain good adhesion and is not easy to peel off.
Building exterior walls
Applicable to the protection and decoration of building exterior walls, providing long-lasting aesthetic effects and protective performance.
Industrial facilities
It can also be used for corrosion protection of industrial facilities such as petrochemicals, fertilizer plants, and power plants to extend the service life of equipment.
Transportation
They are also widely used in coatings for vehicles such as cars, ships, airplanes, trains, etc., providing high weather and chemical resistance protection.
Bridges and Steel Structures
It is also commonly used in coatings for large projects such as bridges and steel structures to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
Surface treatment
The surface of the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned to remove oil, rust, and other dirt to ensure the adhesion and protective effect of the paint film.
Environmental requirements
The construction environment should have good ventilation to ensure the volatilization of organic solvents and avoid health effects on construction workers.
Safety measures
Since oil-based fluorocarbon paint contains organic solvents, appropriate protective equipment such as masks and gloves should be worn during construction.
Coating method
It can be applied by spraying, brushing, rolling, etc. You can choose the appropriate coating method according to the actual situation of the project.
Drying time
Sufficient drying time should be allowed between each coat to ensure the thickness and performance of the final paint film.
The drying time needs to be based on the material application guidelines and environmental conditions.
1. Water-based fluorocarbon paint is relatively simple to mix and can be directly mixed with water. Oil-based fluorocarbon paint requires a special thinner to mix.
2. Water-based fluorocarbon paint is made of water-based fluorocarbon emulsion as the film-forming substance. It is a highly weather-resistant protective coating with high coating hardness and good stain resistance.
3. From the construction point of view, since water-based fluorocarbon paint has relatively low requirements for the flatness of the base surface, there are no special requirements for coating methods and techniques. The construction is convenient and safe, and ordinary brushing and roller coating can be used for construction.
On the contrary, the construction process of oil-based fluorocarbon paint is more complicated, and this type of paint is prone to produce pollutants such as VOC, which is not good for people's health.
4. Water-based fluorocarbon paint is an environmentally friendly and healthy paint with extremely low VOC content, which meets environmental quality standards and will not affect human health when used.
However, oil-based fluorocarbon paint is not as environmentally friendly as water-based fluorocarbon paint, and it will produce some odor, which will affect human health.
