Advantages of water-based floor paint oil repellent

As an important material for modern floor coating, water-based floor paint is favored for its environmental protection, safety, and convenient construction. In order to further improve the performance of water-based floor paint, especially to enhance its oil resistance, oil repellent is widely used in this field.

1. Basic characteristics of water-based floor paint

Water-based floor paint uses water as a dispersion medium, contains a small amount of low-toxic alcohol ether organic solvents, does not contain carcinogens such as benzene and formaldehyde, has ultra-low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, and fully complies with strict environmental regulations. It is easy to construct, has strong adhesion to the substrate, and has good wear resistance, durability and decorative properties. However, water-based floor paint also has some shortcomings, such as general UV resistance, poor hardness and wear resistance compared to oily floor paint, and dispersion stability needs to be improved.

2. The role and types of oil repellent

Oil repellent is a colorless and transparent liquid suitable for various re-coating coating ink systems, such as metals, plastics and other materials. It has the characteristics of lubrication, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, aging resistance, and strong moisture resistance. Oil repellent can be divided into UV oil repellent, PU oil repellent, heavy coating oil repellent, water-based oil repellent, oil-based oil repellent, etc. Each type has its specific use and performance.

3. Advantages of oil repellent in water-based floor paint

Enhance oil resistance:

Oil repellent can effectively reduce the surface tension of water-based floor paint, improve the wettability of the paint to the substrate, and prevent oil pollution to the floor paint, thereby improving the oil resistance of the floor paint

Improve adhesion:

Certain components in the oil repellent can react chemically with the resin in the water-based floor paint to form a stronger chemical bond, thereby improving the adhesion of the floor paint to the substrate.

Improve construction performance:

The addition of oil repellent can make the construction viscosity of water-based floor paint easier to adjust, and the tools after construction are easier to clean, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of construction.

Improve the quality of floor paint:

Oil-repellent can also improve the smoothness, glossiness and wear resistance of water-based floor paint, making the floor paint have better decorative and usability.

Environmental protection and safety:

Like water-based floor paint, oil-repellent also meets environmental protection requirements, does not contain harmful substances, and has little impact on the health and environment of construction workers.

4. Precautions

Although oil-repellent has many advantages, the following points should be noted during use:

The type and amount of oil-repellent should be adjusted according to the specific water-based floor paint formula and construction process.

Before construction, it is necessary to ensure that the oil-repellent and water-based floor paint are fully mixed and evenly to avoid precipitation or stratification.

During the construction process, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the construction environment and the surface of the base layer to avoid affecting the effect of the oil-repellent.

5. Conclusion

The addition of oil-repellent to water-based floor paint not only enhances the oil resistance of the floor paint, but also improves its adhesion, construction performance and quality. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous advancement of floor paint technology, the application of oil repellent in water-based floor paint will become more and more extensive. In the future, we expect more high-performance, environmentally friendly and safe oil repellent to be developed, injecting new vitality into the development of water-based floor paint.
