Latex Paint
What is Latex Paint?
In order to understand what latex paint is, we need to talk about the common elements of paint.
Paint is typically made up of four ingredients: Binders, Solvents, Pigments and Additives.  We will look at each of these ingredients individually.
1. Binders
Binders are what the other paint ingredients “sit” in, and is what, when dried, will make the “paint film”. Â Binders can include, acrylics, polyurethanes, polyesters, epoxy, and oils, just to name a few.
When most people say, “Latex Paint”, they are referring to the binder in the paint, however, this is a misnomer. As naturally occuring “Latex”, like that used in latex gloves, is actually NOT an ingredient in paint. Â Chemists have created polymers that act very similarly to latex, and that is (we assume!) where the term Latex Paint comes from. Â When most people say “Latex Paints” they are really referring to “Water Based Paints”.
Commonly, the resins used in “Latex Paint” are ACRYLIC, VINYL, and PVA(Polyvinyl acetate) and their quality and price go in that order. Â Acrylic is much more expensive than vinyl, and vinyl is more expensive than PVA. Â So, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, each paint is made up of different amounts and percentages of binders.
Glues and cheap paints, for example, are typically PVA, very high quality finishes are 100% acrylic. Mid grade and low grade paints, for example, might have some acrylic but be made up mostly of vinyl.
What you’re trying to paint – and what your budget is – will affect what kind of “latex” paint you want. Â If you own rental property that has to be repainted often – it is very unlikely you’re buying 100% acrylic “latex” paint. (Again, the term “Latex” is used loosely!)
2. Solvents
Solvents main purpose in paint is to affect the viscosity of the paint. Viscosity is a fancy term for how “thick” it is. Water is “thin”, Honey is “thick”. Â The solvent will then evaporate, leaving the binders, pigments, and additives behind. Â Oil, for example, is used in “Oil Based Paint”.
3. Pigment
Pigment is what provides the color, how well the paint “hides”, and much of its durability too. Â If you want a high quality water-borne paint, for example, make sure it uses Titanium Dioxide!
4. Additives
There are a variety of miscellaneous additives that can be put into paint to help improve or change its properties. Â Some common types of paint additives include:
- Mildewcide – This additive helps fight bacterial growth.
- Texture Additives – These additives can give paint a textured look.
- Paint Conditioners – These can help paint stay “open” longer, meaning it will not dry as fast and allows you to work with it longer.
- Temperature – Other additives allow the paint to be applied in cooler temperatures.
This was a very basic crash course in paint! And just remember, the next time you go to the store for a good “Latex” paint – they don’t exist! The best paints you are looking for are 100% Acrylic Paints!
