Abstract:
Water-borne paints first appeared on the market of building materials in Belarus in the early 1990s. These paints had to compete with solvent-based products traditionally used for mineral surfaces. Water-borne paints were able to quickly gain popularity. This was due to a number of advantages of water-borne paints such as high weather resistance, light fastness, low water absorption, resistance to chalking, high adhesion. Typical formulations of water-borne paints developed and implemented in the production by the author were analyzed in the article. Pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic polymer dispersions were used as film formers, talcum and marble powder were used as fillers.
