KOVA Paint and Waterproofing Product Support
1/ Why is high-end paint difficult to apply?
Due to the high adhesiveness, it will take a long time to dry when applied and the paint film will bond tightly.
Low quality powder is soft, light, dries quickly and is easier to work with.
2/ Why is high-quality paint light?
Low quality paint will have a higher powder ratio, so it will be heavier than mid-range and high-end paint, with a high glue content per specific gravity. However, the higher the glue content, the easier it is for the glue to settle, so the shelf life of high-end paint is often shorter (within 2 years).
3/ Why does high-end paint have lower coverage than regular paint?
High-grade paint consists of stone powder (determines coverage) and titanium dioxide powder (determines coverage).
4/ What are the components of paint?
Glue (rasin)
Color
Additive (rasin system)
Filler (stone powder)
Thinner (gasoline for solvent-based paints and water for water-based paints)
Kova only focuses on developing water-based products, completely eliminating solvents to protect the health of workers, consumers and the environment.
5/ All KOVA paint lines have integrated waterproofing ability, so why do we still need to waterproof vertical walls?
Due to the different waterproofing mechanisms of waterproofing agents and coatings:
With special waterproofing agent: penetrates into cement capillaries, seals cement holes from the inside, firmly bonds with concrete mortar for up to 20 years, withstands high impact and expansion.
6/ Why does primer only need 1 coat while all other types need 2 coats?
This is the minimum requirement of the primer, which is one coat, to achieve the factory-specified performance. If you apply more coats, the better, increasing the protection.
For topcoat, at least 2 coats must be applied:
The average thickness of the paint film to achieve good coverage and protection must be at least 125-150 micronm.
If applied by roller, 1 layer usually reaches about 60-70 micronm, so 2 layers are usually required to achieve the average thickness to get the color and protection.
If applied with a specialized sprayer, the thickness can reach 125-150 micronm, so there is no need to apply a second coat.
