The beginning to a perfect finish is initiated with the very first stroke of the tool on the block of a workpiece. Right from amateur to professional artists equip themselves with the finest work tools to obtain the best of designed outcome. Each piece of work is finalized with great care, where the artist puts in the optimum thought and efforts for every step. So much so for the preparation of the design or framework. What comes after that? The right coating, of course.
Coats hold the power to change the direct psychological impact on the viewer’s mindset. The colorful and textural aesthetics decide whether the final piece delivers the exact message as intended by the conceptualizer. For the purpose, you can choose from various options, whether metallic sheen, matte finish, glossy appearance, and/or apart from that, they provide layers of protection against chipping and environmental damage. For the sake of the craftsmanship that has gone into those beautiful wooden frames, hinged, panels, and pieces of pure art, the paint selection and technique is not allowed to go wrong.
Uncovering layers
There are different layers defined for the finish to be considered as complete. A primer spreads evenly over the surface to give an even protective base to it. One has the option to pick from any of the water- or oil-based options available in the market, or spray a mix of latex paint with 10% water. However, an alkyd based primer is suggested for the woodworks. The next step is to add the base coat of the pale or dark finish paint to increase the opacity. Either of oil-based or water-based first coat paint maybe layered as per individual requirement, where you may feel that the latter must be used excessively.
For the decorative coverage, you may pick either flat, eggshell, gloss, or satin. The decision must be guided based on the kind of durability and finish you want to achieve. Apart from flat, the rest are recommended for wooden exteriors and interiors. Eggshell and gloss are used as an alternative to each other and propose high durability to environmental elements. Solvent- or latex-based satin, on the other hand, has low tolerance to wear and tear and gives a comparatively lower sheen. Go for it when working on interior wooden surfaces and furniture.
Down to the additive elements
Having said that about the right approach to surface coating, it is necessary to place markers of differentiation between the options one may come across at the store. This is what would guide decisions such as whether to use solvent- or latex-based gloss or eggshell for the flooring panels. If we break down any of the coating materials that were discussed earlier, we would end with almost the same constituent elements. There are the same fundamental raw entries - pigments, solvents, binders, and coating additives. The varied proportion and quality of these ingredients is what delivers the requisite difference to each product based on their usability. For instance, a manufacturer may carefully balance the mixture to produce either vapor barrier, stain-blocking, or bonding primer.
Throughout the process of product development, the companies experiment with sundry combinations of coating additives. This helps them extend the benefit of choice to the consumers. The approximate $7,369 million-worth global coating additives market (revenue estimation by Allied Market Research) offers over hundreds of selectively formulated compounds that are incorporated by the paint manufacturers for their commercial portfolio. Acrylics, fluoropolymers, urethanes, and metallic additives are some of the popular ones in trade circulation. They ensure that the painted surfaces do not suffer from foam formation or microbial build-up along with providing the emulsion with the right thickness, moisture-retention, viscosity, and stability.
For the sake of love
So why do people have to know the additives in detail? Quite evidently, when you pick a can of coating material off the shelf, the verdict must be supported based on a list of important factors exclusive of the shade and budget that suits you. The safety and ambience of the dwelling space that surrounds the painted surface (or vice versa) holds equal consideration. This aspect can be covered by opting for coating materials that are free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs). If you care about the global environment and not just yours, it would be reflected in your choice of bio-based coating additives.
You do not even have to worry about the limited range of shades with the innovative eco-friendlier versions. The collective focus of chemical giants on greener solvents and increased affinity towards wooden furnishings, your “woody” love story is bound to get a happy finish.
