Water-based paints can be textured or structural. They are used to create volumetric effects when decorating surfaces. They have increased strength, so they can also be used to protect surfaces from cracks.

Acrylic paints are based on acrylic resins as a binder. The characteristics of such paints are as follows:

Increased strength;
Ability to bridge cracks up to 0.5 mm thick;
Frost resistance (after complete drying);
Low gas permeability (which allows them to be used to bulgaria mobile database against corrosion, for example, of reinforced concrete);
They can be used for alkaline surfaces (for example, they can be applied to fresh plaster, but not earlier than a month later, so that the plaster can fully harden);
Increased mechanical strength;
Resistance to ultraviolet radiation, which allows them to retain their color for a long time;
Waterproof.
The disadvantage of acrylic paints is their high cost, as well as the fact that they are not suitable for painting buildings with damp walls. Cheaper analogues of acrylic paints are made using acrylic copolymers as a base.

Latex paints are the most expensive among other emulsion paints. Latex is used in their production, which significantly enhances the water-repellent effect, allowing you to wash surfaces without limitation. Such paints are able to tighten cracks up to 1 mm thick on the surface. Latex paints can be used on a variety of surfaces: walls (made of concrete, brick, plasterboard or covered with plaster), ceilings, textured wallpaper. These paints dry within 1 hour. However, their lightfastness is slightly lower than that of PVA paints and emulsion acrylic paints.

Polyvinyl acetate paints (PVA) are the cheapest, and they are environmentally friendly, have high lightfastness, and are resistant to fats and oils. Most often, these paints are used to paint ceilings. They have low water resistance, so they gradually wash off with repeated washing.
