Latex paint consists of a mixture of water, colour pigments and, like emulsion paint, plastics as binding agents. It is therefore a subcategory of emulsion paint. The chemical substance acrylate, which is often used as a binder in paint production, ensures that the dried latex paint adheres to the walls.
Due to their particularly robust properties, latex paints are especially suitable for surfaces that are exposed to heavy loads, such as offices, hotels and restaurants. Latex paints are also ideal for areas with particularly high-traffic walls, such as stairwells and hallways, where people easily brush against the wall, for example when carrying shopping. For certain wall areas in private homes, latex wall paint is also the right choice. For example, a latex paint in a child's room behind the desk or in the play corner will withstand most stresses and strains. Latex paints are elastic and therefore very hard-wearing and scrub-resistant. Furthermore, they are water-resistant, but impermeable to water vapour, so vapour cannot escape and condense on the surface. As a result, latex paints are more diffusion-restricted than normal emulsion paints and do not offer optimal conditions for use in bathrooms.
With a latex paint, you acquire a cleanable paint for interior use. This means that if a stain lands on the latex paint, you can usually simply wipe it off with a damp cloth. Latex paints are also hygienically clean and resistant to disinfectants. This means they can also be used in sensitive living and working areas, such as schools, hospitals, kindergartens, etc.
The latex paints from planeo are emission- and solvent-free and contain no preservatives. This means that they can also be used in particularly hygiene-sensitive areas that have to be cleaned and scrubbed, such as kitchens in large companies, etc. Latex paints are available from us in matt and glossy finishes.
