Wall paint is one of the most common decorative materials for both residential and commercial projects. Understanding the characteristics of different paint types helps you choose the product that best fits your needs.
The first category is low-grade water-soluble coatings, made by dissolving polyvinyl alcohol in water and adding pigments and other additives. These coatings are affordable, non-toxic, odorless, and easy to apply. However, they have poor water and weather resistance, making them suitable only for interior wall decoration in dry environments.
The second type is latex paint, a mid-to-high-end coating. Made from synthetic resin emulsion as the base and mixed with pigments, fillers, and various additives, it offers excellent water resistance, alkali resistance, and scrubability, along with rich color options and easy application. It is currently the mainstream choice for interior wall decoration.
The third category is artistic paint, also known as textured paint. Artistic paint can create various textures such as stone, metal, and velvet finishes, offering rich decorative effects ideal for spaces seeking a personalized look.
The fourth category is diatomaceous earth, primarily made from diatomite. Diatomaceous earth offers functional benefits such as regulating indoor humidity, adsorbing harmful gases like formaldehyde, and providing fire resistance. It has emerged in recent years as an eco-friendly interior wall material.
Type 5: Inorganic Paints, primarily composed of inorganic minerals. These paints offer excellent weather resistance and acid/alkali resistance, contain no organic solvents, and have extremely low VOC content, making them ideal for environments with high environmental standards.
