What are the consequences of scraping whitewash without latex paint? Is latex paint a water-based paint or a solvent-based paint?

Latex paint has many advantages over traditional wall paint, such as easy to apply, quick drying, water-resistant and scrub-resistant paint film. In my country, people usually use synthetic resin emulsion as base material, water as dispersion medium, add pigments, fillers (also known as body pigments) and additives, and make paint through a certain process. This is called latex paint, also known as latex paint. The following content is about what will happen if the wall is only whitewashed and not painted with latex paint. After painting with latex paint, it still has many advantages.

How to deal with cracking of latex paint

1. We first need to clean the wall base where the latex paint is cracked, and spread some unused newspapers on the wall. Apply putty, and then re-apply latex paint. This method can be done by yourself, which is relatively simple and can also fully ensure the paint film of latex paint.

2. If the crack is very small, you can buy a decoration material called "elastic putty" and apply it to the crack. This method is also very simple, but it can only be used for very small cracks. If the crack is large, you can't use this.

3. If the crack is located at the top and the range is relatively concentrated, you can buy a painting or other beautiful decorations to cover the crack. Before buying, you should roughly estimate the size of the crack. Don't buy too small or too large, which will affect the appearance.

What are the consequences of scraping white without latex paint?

1. After whitewashing, it is also possible not to apply latex paint, but it may affect the performance of wall decoration. For example, bubbles may appear on the wall in the later stage. This is mainly because the wall has not been treated during the whitewashing process, or the paint is too thick, which will cause bubbles on the wall.

2. If you only scrape the whitewash, the wall surface will easily turn white or produce white powder. The main reason is that the wall surface is not completely dry before construction, or the paint is too fine when scraping the whitewash, which will also cause white powder.

3. Another consequence is that cracks will easily appear on the wall in the later stage. This is also because the wall surface is not properly treated after whitewashing, which will cause cracks in the later stage.

Is latex paint a water-based paint or a solvent-based paint?

1. Any paint that needs to be dissolved in water and uses water as a dispersion medium can be called water-based paint.

2. Water-based paint is used by many people. It is not only environmentally friendly, but also convenient and easy to construct.

3. Although solvent-based paint has good performance, it is less environmentally friendly and has poor air permeability, so fewer people use it.
