NeoBharat Latex Interior Paint

Understanding Latex Paint

There are numerous types of paints available in the market, but latex paint has always been a popular choice. So let’s learn a little bit more about latex paints, their composition, benefits, what is latex paint used for and also about NeoBharat, a latex paint by Asian Paints.

What is Latex Paint?

Latex paint is a type of water-based paint that's commonly used for interior and exterior surfaces. It's a popular choice because it's easy to use, dries quickly, and is less toxic than other types of paint. It's also versatile and can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including painting walls, metal and painting wood with latex paint. This makes it a preferred choice for both DIYers and professional painters whether it is for painting wood with latex paint or for creating beautiful walls. Additionally, it can be easily cleaned up with soap and water.

Composition of Latex Paint

Wall Latex Paint typically consists of four main components - Pigments, Binders, Solvents and Additives. Here’s a breakdown of each of the components - 

1. Pigments are tiny particles that give paint its colour. They're mixed into the paint to create different shades and hues.

2. Binders, also known as resins or polymers, binders are what holds the paint together after it's dried. In latex paint, these binders are usually made from resin.

3. In water based latex paint, water is the solvent. It's what helps make the paint liquid and spreadable. As the paint dries, the water evaporates, leaving the pigments and binders behind.

4. Additives are extra ingredients added to the paint to give it specific properties, like improving its durability, preventing mould growth, creating waterproof latex paint, painting wood with latex paint or making it easier to apply.

How Does Latex Paint Differ from Other Types of Paint?

Latex paint, primarily used for walls, contains acrylic or vinyl binders and water as a solvent, making it easy to clean and low in odor. It's great for painting walls due to its quick drying time and durability. In contrast, oil-based paints use oil as a binder, suitable for wood surfaces, offering a smoother finish but with longer drying times, stronger odor, and requiring solvents for cleanup.
