Paints

Oil paint:

Oil paints are usually applied as a primer, undercoat, and a finish coat. In the past oil, paints were heavily relied on because of their durability and longevity on surfaces, however, water-based paints are now at par. Known for their gloss and durability, oil paints stand for a rich finish, water-resistant properties, and long-lasting abilities.

Used on metals, walls, doors, windows, and stained surfaces for durability. Highly recommended for trim works in non-humid areas since drying time takes longer than 24 hours easy to clean, and is easy to apply.

Emulsion Paint:

Unlike traditional oil paints, the majority of emulsions are water-based paints with fast-drying characteristics. It’s the popular choice for paint contractors since it’s alkali resistant, rich in texture, and has stronger color retention abilities, making it a long-lasting paint choice. biggest advantage with water-based emulsions is that it does not leave an odor and dries quickly. Acrylic emulsions offer resistance to cracking with its versatile and flexible finish through the years. Mould and mildew resistant.

Low on VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a good non-toxic choice

Easy to apply on exterior walls and interior walls, offers a range of wall finishes like satin, eggshell, glossy, matt, etc.

Emulsion-painted walls are easy to clean.

Emulsions vary from weather-protectants to luxury, ultra HD interior finishes.

Enamel Paint

As an oil-based solvent, enamel paints are characterized by key qualities of oil paints like slow-drying abilities and hardness. Enamel paints render high durability, and strong adhesion, provide a glossy finish and are water and stain-resistant.

Perfect for humid and wet spaces like bathrooms and kitchen walls and metals that need protection. highly popularized for woodwork, metal work, and window work offers good coverage, hardness, and color retention a long-lasting choice for certain wood surfaces and metal.

Bituminous Paint

There is many types of industrial paints used to coat pipes, irons, woods, and external work. Characterized by a black, tar-like appearance and good alkali-resistant properties, bituminous paint is formulated using dissolved asphalt and/or tar.

To achieve a certain color, pigment can always be added to this type of paint. Provides a protective, water-proof, weather-proof, chemical and corrosion-resistant layer, Ideal for metal work, pipework, and woodwork underwater structures ideal for exteriors such as ladders, shafts, and other iron work. Helps in providing rust resistance for metal applications.

Aluminum Paint

Aluminium paint is a type of paint coating that is made by mixing aluminum particles or flakes with oil/spirit varnish. The type of varnish can be used as per the requirement since spirit varnish leads to a shorter drying period. The benefits of using this type of paint is resistant to electricity, weather, corrosion and is waterproof.
